		<description>I am into outsource for SEO, but not with companies. I opt to do with programmers on freelance sites where I have advantages of selecting amateur programmers at cost effective prices. It works out cheaper for me and effective also.</description>

		<description>I can&#039;t tell you how many SEO companies call me on a daily basis.  I have tried a few, and found that they are a waste of time and money

Yes, they were able to provide references and testimonials - they could show how they could  bring web sites to the top of Google

BUT - here is what they all do - they promise to bring you to the top of Google for very popular searches, then, when you are signed up, they switch to queries that no one actually does. I have found I get most better results myself than any &quot;expert&quot; has ever given me.

There are two bottom lines 

1)Top ranking does not necessarily mean sales, and sales is what it is about

2) Make sure your site has lots of great content, and lots of good inbound links - you take care of that, and everything else will work  - Don&#039;t ever try to &quot;trick&quot; google  - they are smarter than you are</description>
