In the past I have always done my own SEO stuff for my site. It has always been a pain in the rear and takes quite a bit of time submitting to directories and search engines. The other day I found SEO Consultant which seems to offer quite a balance of services that you would require for SEO optimization.
I would never use a service like this for my own blog however I do have a project planned for the future that I would use their services for. They are not the cheapest guys I have seen around but witht he services they include you are getting a lot for your money. They charge a retainer of $2000 for 10 hours per month of services. This equates to $200 per hour. Boy am I in the wrong business.
If you want your site to rank in the top of the search engines or to improve your page rank SEO Consultant is the way to go. Once I get my project off the ground or funding for it I plan to contract a company like this. You cannot just expect to start a site and have everyone just know about it without any marketing or search engine optimization.
