Hi,

I would like to find someone that is very good as search engine optimisation to help me with my site.

I know the basics, but don't have the time to learn the detail or execute on any ideas. I need to find someone that knows the fundamentals, sticks to solid practives and can help be build incoming links and page rank.

Does anyone know of anyone who could do this? Freelance or even a company?

I would separate out link building and consulting.

Link building is far less skilled busy-type work.

You know, I have to agree with Chris on this one. Especially given that most people who "specialize" in llnk building do nothing more than submit to directories, spam article and press release sites, and spam some more on blogs.

Now, just out of curiosity, what kind of site do you need optimized, Cloughie? I'd love to give you some free pointers (as could Chris if he were so inclined) that would apply specifically to your situation, if you (and Chris) don't mind.

Cheers for the replies guys.

My website is www.wannabebig.com, but it’s not really worth commenting on because I am completely rehauling it at the moment. Should be ready to launch in mid January so I can post the url then.

Dan, I will pm you the password protected url though for some pointers.

Chris, Good point about separating consulting and link building. It’s the link building bit I need done.

I feel I have a reasonable understanding of SEO and have read through Chris’s SEO guide more than once :) So, I feel my actual site is relatively solid.

My main challenge is time, I literally do not have the time to invest into building quality incoming links and therefore page rank.

I totally agree that a lot of these SEO specialists are just spammers and have a blanket approach for everyone they deal with. I am looking for someone who can go out there and find high quality, relevant sites, blogs, directories, places to publish articles with link backs and organize that for me. Someone that can do the job properly in a quality way, month in, month out.

I’m willing to pay decent money for it, it means a lot to me – I just need someone who understands the fundamentals and will go about it in a methodical and quality way. I need someone to be referred rather than me just go searching the net though because those I have spoken to so far didn’t fill me with confidence! :)
