Ok so this has just proved what I've been thinking for the last 3 months, I'm stupidly underpricing for my monthly SEO for bigger firms.

Sounds about right but there's always room to negotiate and be flexible about it. Just set your absolute minimum and test price points from there.

I use a company that only charge for checkable results with no up front fees. But an interesting article non the less.

When you're selling anything with quantities attached such as X of Y links for £Z then you can't really charge that much because it's easy to look around and see others charging less.

If you were to say "hey look I got this site from nowhere to here, from £0 revenue to £5-10-20k pm and growing at 5-10% per month" then it's easier to charge a bit more.

Not a bad article however it's so very outdated. They could do with generating a new one.

Not by much if you base it on inflation

Absolutely - IMO a huge part of SEO is managing *risk*.

There are various checks and balances that need to be considered to ensure best result with least risk, and this is a major advantage experienced SEO's have.

Too many people are willing to rush into "cheap" services offering "x links" thinking they are getting a good deal - but it's never a good deal if you get canned from the Google index for spamming.
