I'm just wondering,how many of you here are hiring companies/individuals to do SEO work on your websites? And is/was the money well spent? Who would you recommend for SEO services?

Hi there,

If you need professional or company help, I have not heard any SEO company in Malaysia, and overseas country's firm can be too expensive to your liking.

And I supposed most of the people here do their own SEO work. To start up, an excellent resource is the SEO Beginner's Guide.

Ah I have never heard of any malaysian companies offering SEO services too.So basically when I asked for recommendations,I was expecting overseas'
companies.

Thanks for the link to the SEO guide but I would like to hire someone to do it.Not just on site optimization but link building etc also.

Anybody tried this,

http://www.rentacoder.com
and
http://www.blackbookguy.com

I wonder, what types of services they provide...

Rentacoder.com is a freelance marketplace, same with Elance or Getafreelancer, you can bid a project there and and choose the suitable freelancer for your project.

Blackbookguy.com is merely a site with a listing of black hat tools, content generation tools those type of things. The tools and software are expensive nonetheless while the result varies

I'm interested in trying Blackbookguy.com service because they are selling those tools at a range between 15%-30% off their original price. Anybody tried them before?

I find there is difficulties to contact the freelancer at such sites especially more often when you need to contact them for any update or addition of new stuff that you want to include in your running project. Secondly few freelancers even outsource their project to other freelancers means your project might be not completed in time.
