Ask HN: SEO freelancers? Any good one to suggest?

Hello.

I would like to hire someone to perform monthly SEO tasks (for example the kind of tasks I receive from Seoette). Do you have anybody to reccomend ?

I have been on elance/freelance but it's hard to choose between the thousands of providers - and I can't trust the reviews, as these people create fake accounts for a living!

1) anyone that's 100-150 a month is going to waste your time.. or rather, you're going to waste your money and time

2) anyone that's amazing at SEO is doing stuff on their own bc they can make mad loot

3) Just learn yourself. Download the following documents, they are honestly amazing:

4) This is also amazing, will change your life.. soooo many good articles

- http://www.bluehatseo.com/ (old, but amazing.. AMAZING) - http://justinbriggs.org/portfolio

Agreed; learn it yourself. Moz is the best place to start and Blue Hat can teach you a lot as well.

I really need somebody to DO it.

Ping me on twitter @kzorz or check my profile. I'm not an seo-er myself, but may be able to connect you to someone good. Do prepare to spend more money though.

Hi! What I am looking is not somebody who has an amazing strategy... I think SEO is mostly common sense and HARD WORK. I don't have the time :(

I optimize(d) my website the best I can, I participate in relevant discussions in relevant forums, and I spend my time creating content for my website and coordinating my writers and keeping relationships with the companies.

This on top of my full time job and playing with my daughter.

I really just need somebody to do the manual work :(

Not someone to hire, but there were some really good tips posted here previously http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3214397

Hope this helps you to do it yourself if you are unable to find one

Thanks, I had seen the link at the time.

My problem with SEO is that I don't have the time to do all the "backlinking" thing.

What's your budget?

Let's say 100-150$ a month to start experimenting for a couple of months.
