I own a small business in a very competitive field, and I am looking to improve and work on SEO for my website. Does anyone know of a company that does this work with reasonable rates? Or does anyone have any other good ideas in this area? I'd like to see my company's name come up on google and yahoo searches. Thanks.

Actually, I thought the ultimate aim is to promote your business. SEO is just one method to build up your traffic.There is a lot of way to advertise either free or at a very low cost online. These are broadly classified into 3 main area. 1) Buy Traffic 2)Build Traffic and 3)Steal Traffic. All of these are trying to get more visitor to visit your websites and eventually know more of your invention and get the products from you.I normally use (2) and (3) as some of these methods are often free or at a low cost.Find out more from the link in my profile, it tell you how to setup a successful online business including the ways for better marketing online. It will tell you what are these steps, the reason for each step, how you could go around doing it and where you could get the necessary resources free or at a low price.Hope that it will be useful to you.
