A grand plan for SEO: Readers respond.

My ClickZ column wraps up the topic of SEO budgeting for small businesses. There was a huge response and as I mentioned in the article, no way I could squeeze it all in.

There were comments from right across the spectrum from solo work from home consultants to agencies with a staff of ten upwards. It's a topic I'd like to revisit again, maybe next year. I was fascinated at the way price levels fluctuated across the industry. And also fascinated at methods of pricing.

Some people charge by the hour. Some by project packages. And some on a retainer basis (and some that seemed to do all three along with variations!)

For those who did respond to the column and also happen to pop over here from time-to-time, thanks again for your input. It made fascinating reading.
