Need cheapest SEO solution, any suggestions?

[deafeningsoap548]

I'm starting an e-store. Though i have my base of clients whose email addresses I do have, and primarily i'll be relying on them for my business but I was also wondering if I could reap more by
SEO?
I tried looking it up to see if I could do it for myself but it seems too complicated.
I'm creating my website from Hostgator(both domain and hosting) and they do have something as SEO in their tools, and it was for hardly $10.00 extra in my package, whereas when I looked up SEO packages online, I got told the cheapest run in hundreds of dollars.
So, to what extent do you think I'll be doing things from my part in case of hostgator offered SEO?
I don't want my website to be hardcore SEO'ized or anything, i don't want overnight results, i'm ok if it takes time and appears in search results only moderately, not necessarily all the time.
So, I don't have top notch preferences, if you know what I mean.
In this case, what do you recommend?

I don’t know a lot about SEO – but maybe the MS SEO Toolkit download would help you? It’s free – the website says it can help you get more hits, control what people see in search results, find problems with websites and reporting.

I own a website too, I used http://www.freelancer.com to find an SEO agent. A word of advice it to find the most "cost effective" SEO, not the cheapest. The cheapest will end up being more expensive because SEO is very competitive. We are in month 5 of our SEO, and on page 3 for a very competitive phrase. If we went with the cheapest, we would be in the Google sandbox.

BE VERY CAREFUL! Just trying to get your attention! SEO is a "get what you pay for" type service. I can get your page to the top of Google in a week for $200 is a crock! If the person you hire uses "black hat" techniques, you could enjoy a few weeks of front page bliss and then end up banned from Google. The tools on Host Gator are a partnership between Attracta.com and hosgator. Nothing bad about them but it might not help your situation any. If you really want to learn it on your own, read the following pdf! I love it!

SEO would be a good thing to do to your website. Yes, you can certainly reap more from SEO provided you do it right. Months down the line it will get your a steady stream of visitors (some of whom might become your new clients) so you don't have to constantly depend on the same clients for your business.

You could do it yourself if you can understand basic things about websites - like web page title (the title up there on your browser's window bar) for starters. That is not all there is to understand but if you know how you can change that and text and tags in your webpage, then you can do all the basic (and the most important) things yourself. Search for "introduction to SEO" on Yahoo or Google and you'll find tons of material to read. Spend a weekend to get an idea about what it is.

Now, Hostgator will probably provide you the tools to assess your website's SEO. Those tools will probably give you statistics of various things about your website, but they won't implement it. In other words, for example (just an example, this isn't necessarily true), they could tell you that your "web page title" is search-engine friendly.. but those tools won't change your web page title for you. Another example, they might tell you how many other websites contain links to your website, but they won't make other websites carry links to your website. These latter things are the ones which SEO companies do for you. Some even charge in thousands.. plus they also have a monthly maintenance fees.

If you got weekends to spare and you are a person who can learn things fast (none of it is rocket science, so don't worry) and implement them for your website and you are not in a hurry to implement SEO on your website, then you can probably take the dive and see if you can do it yourself. It is time consuming but the most important things should be easy to do. Plus, if you have the knowledge of what exactly is it all about, even if you resort to hiring someone for SEO later, you'd understand what they've done so they don't get to dupe you saying they've done 'stuff' for your website and you don't understand what they've done.

So my recommendation is: search for some "basic SEO" or "SEO tutorial" on search engines and start reading at your leisure. Get a good understanding of the basics. Then try and do some of it yourself. After that you can re-assess if you want to continue doing it yourself (give yourself 6 months) or hire someone to do it for you.

Hope that helps.

This question is now old but in 2013 things have changed a little. Nowadays, you need to be very careful with your SEO... if you dont know much about SEO then definately do not hire so called "professionals" that are often located in Asia as they are likely to do more harm than good.
You want to simply get your name out there by genuine blog posts, Youtube videos, good quality press releases (syndiacted through PRWEB), put yourself on listing sites etc. But do all of this manually and vary all of the descriptions, make them high quality and vary the anchor text linking in to your site. Use Google plus, Authorship, Rich snippet markup, any other kind of structured data, make sure your URLs are clean. Make sure you make nice titles, descriptions, H1 tags and good quality content on all of the pages
Above all else make sure your site contains valuable information and is rich with unique content.
If you are genuine Google will figure this out and it will work well, if you try to automate things in mass by using SEO tools Google can figure this out and will punish you accordingly.

Hi,

You should start with basic and most important thing for any SEO campaign and that is Keywords finding. Find proper set of keywords for your webpages (related to services or products offered). Start rewriting your web content as per the keywords figured out.

Make sure your website's structure (navigation) is proper, images are of proper size, code is properly written and there is enough content present on the site.
