I subscribe to http://www.highrankings.com/ 's newletter. It's pretty well written. You may want to read some back issues and their forum to get a feel of the industry before committing money to someone.
NOTE: I have not used their SEO service. I just read their newsletter.Serial Beggar

There are a lot of SEO companies around. Some are "scam" some are pretty good. For example - http://www.bruceclay.com is one of the best, but if you're not ready to spend at least $10,000, don't bother to contact him

Best SEO is sometimes to do it yourself. Of course there are a lot of good SEO companies out there but also a lot of scam which use things like "door" pages to get vistiors

Well, I have read some tutorials and mostly are optimizing your codings and stuff.
So what are they actually helping us?

have 2 clients who use Webgravity www.webgravity.co.uk with great results, its very expensive though - I think the mid range package is about £4000 per year, but their clients include cartoon network, freeserve.com and dotmusic.com - most of the submissions etc they do are manual which is where the price comes in.
I think if you dont have a huge budget dont bother using any company as you could probably get better results yourself.

There two ways to do SEO. One is via a Sponsor Link for example Yahoo!Express/Overture -- you're looking probably at about $300/year, which is not so bad; however I never used them. The second way is to actually find someone who specialized in SEO. You need to find someone who's been doing for a long time and can show you referals of his/her customers.
If you want take a look at www.yournew.com as I have seen his work and he delivers results. Good luck!

However, the free listing get more visitors and converts more sales like 8 times than PPC listing. And you don't have to pay anything for listing.

Hello
I am new member, But i will advice that you should see the work done by them first and ask for clients
This is not true that the companies which comes on number one in google on keyword "Search Engine Optimization" can rank you in top 10, also their prices are very high.

Your account is disabled already? Says a lot!
Personally, I would never use somone for SEO whos site isn't even listed in google - if they can get their site up there in the rankings - like position 1-20 or so then they can surely do quite well with yours!

If you do not have huge money to spend, then i suggest that you do it by yourself.. all you need to do is some research and time.

Let say if your try to do it by yourself for 6 months, you may never can make your website listed on the top of search engine for 6 months either. Why don't you try this, go with good search engine optimization for some period ot time. A, to make your website achieve top rankings. B, to start making more sales and generateing more traffics. C, to make people awares of your site. And D, to educate yourself in SEO field. Then from there, you have a better chance to success if you decide to it do by your own.
Good Luck
