Hi all,
I have a good 2 year background in SEO, and have worked on a number of 'freelance' projects over the last year. However, these have typically been for friends and colleagues websites and were done on the basis of mates rates, favours owed etc.
I've just been offered my first proper freelance job. I know what SEO the site needs in terms of onsite SEO, but had no real idea of what to charge. After digging around on the web I decided to charge ££24 an hour for the onsite SEO.
However, they will want link building and I have no idea what to charge…
Do I charge the same hourly rate, with as many quality links as possible per hour?
Or
A cost per link? In that case, just what is a link worth?
Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
