Search Engine Resources:
Let's face it, Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is not rocket science. However, you'd never know it by the fees some companies command to optimize a site. $7500 for a 10 page web site to rank in the top 20! Good grief...For 75 hundred smacker-roonies, I better have the #1 spot! ;]
SEO is a tedious process and it does require a considerable amount of time, effort and creativity to do it well. But, considering its success factor to a Web site, and considering what some "experts" charge to optimize a site, it's well worth learning how to do it yourself. For a small static website, plan on at least 15 hours and a few hundred dollars to implement an initial SEO project -- more if you decide to also go the pay-per-click route.
The following sites offer a wealth of information regarding search engine optimization and marketing. Good luck!
Search Engine Watch - Tips about Internet Search Engines and Search Engine Submissions. If you can't find it here, it probably doesn't exist. This site is an excellent resource for newbies and do-it-yourselfers and advanced SEO'ers and Marketers. I'm not convinced you need to pay for a subscription, though, as most content available in the "Members Only" area can probably be found on another search engine news site, although sometimes it's easier to pay for the convenience of information at your fingertips.
