SEO stands for “search engine optimization.” It is the process of getting traffic from the “free,” “organic,” “editorial” or “natural” listings on search engines. All major search engines such as Google, Yahoo and Bing have such results, where web pages and other content such as videos or local listings are shown and ranked based on what the search engine considers most relevant to users.

Yes nowadays companies are hiring people with MCA qualification only for SEO.
The lowest and highest range of SEO income is from 6k to lacs per month.

You are looking for easy answers where they are none. Let's try, though. A career in SEO is definitely a possibility if you are proficient in computer skills and especially so if you also know your way around the Internet. You will be spending a lot of time writing things, searching around the different forums for things that work, and re-working things you have already done as time goes on.

Financially-wise, you are probably not going to get a stable position straight away. Instead, you are likely to start through freelancing through the Internet - and the pay varies so greatly that you simply have to try to ask the different contractors to know where you could be at.
