How much should SEO cost for a good content website?

[Mehdi M]

I have a content website, and the content is very good. I have been doing SEO on my site for four months. I have had a one-way backlink request success rate of almost 20%, and reciprocal link request success rate of almost 65%, which I think is very good.However, I want to spend the little time I get off my university on improving my site, rather than SEO. If I hire someone, or some firm to do SEO on my site, how much should I pay? Will adSense or something similar be able to cover the costs?

The payment is mainly depends upon the work needed to chase the competitor for the particular website. Before going to hire a seo you should ask for their quotes.The point is whether u want to get more visitors linked from high page ranked sites to your sites .or you want to place your site on the search Engine's priority pages(SERP).So manipulation of pay for the seo needs some discussion .After that, the payments will be chosen(Not Fixed,Because page ranks are changing everyday due to competition)
