Outsourcing SEO - Trading Cash for Time.

[Khadaji]

When you're getting a new website up and running, one of the tasks that you'll need to do is develop links to it. This is very time consuming - but fortunately, if you have a wee bit of money to throw at the problem, there are people around the world that are happy and willing to work for far less money than I'm willing to work for.

I'm referring, of course, to such places as GetAFreelancer.com and RentaCoder.com... there's a number of others. They allow you to hook up with people from other countries who's standard of living is far lower, and can therefore do an exceptional amount of work for prices that I can easily afford to pay.

Need someone to write articles? Need someone to post blog comments? Need forum posters? Need a script installed, or some PHP coding reworked to add new features?

I've only outsourced work twice now - and I've been quite happy both times - both of my jobs were offered to folks who live overseas, but their command of the English language was quite good enough (sadly, I'm not proficient in any other language) to do the jobs I asked of them.

I'm a fan of GetAFreelancer - but I'm sure the other similar sites are worth looking into as well... they operate much like Ebay - in that people have feedback, and there's an escrow payment system in place - so you can feel pretty secure with your money. In any case, you can start small, and build up to bigger projects if need be.

Go check it out - browse some of the current 'projects', and look at prices, you'd be surprised at how little some good SEO work actually costs.
