I'm a very small startup social networking site and I need traffic; however, when I checked the prices for SEO, I was shocked at the prices. Maybe I'm just naive or SEO is definately worth the price it demands.Any opinions on how effective SEO's are and if the prices are worth its reputation?For example, the cost for SEO and maintenance for 3 keywords is $500 setup fee and $200 annual maintenance. For 20 keywords, it is $2,300 setup fee and $1,000 annual maintenance.I know some SEO's go as expensive s $25,000 - $100,000.

There are other ways to do SEO, like using good keywords and using tags and such. There are great websites out there that allow you to make your website come up in a search engine. They give you many tips. do not pay anything for SEO. Try to put as much keywords in your content as possible and try to use more tags.
