I'm getting about 33% SE traffic. I think part of the reason it's a bit low is because I've been getting about 50% referral traffic lately.

The overall number of SE traffic is going up, but I would love to do better.

The thing I would like most is the 10 topic ideas and how to optimize SEO for those so I can write some more pillar posts.

Suba - send me an email tomorrow when I'm home and I will get you a report I have used before freelancing SEO consulting on oDesk.  It got a lot of great responses.  It is exactly what you are doing!

Robert, I will email you as well if that's ok.

Not everyone will be at the same level or need the same level of support

I would offer a service that sets up the blog to be SEO and gets all the basics right and information about how to promote their blog

A consultation service where you could do keyword research and come up with a strategy to help out the specific site.

Lastly I would offer  an ongoing optimization service.

 

I would say it is important to offer different levels as some bloggers will want to check that they are on the right track and others will want to have all of the SEO promotion taken care of.

I'm sure your services are great, Suba, but many of these things can be done with Market Samurai.

Market Samurai gives you data that everyone else has.  Doing what everyone else does is a really bad way to beat a game based on who knows the most/has access to the most data.  

 

Even more directly, Market Samurai can give you information, but it won't teach you how to interpret the data.  This is where Suba's value-add is--seeing emerging trends, sculpting an edge, and avoiding the "shotgun approach."  There are hundreds of thousands, if not millions of people who pay for services like these.

I doubt that. What Suba is talking about sounds more comprehensive, and would certainly have a personal touch.

 

Suba - I'm looking forward to seeing how this takes shape!

Commenting and guest posting is probably the answer. I just like reading blogs from my phone and I hate typing comments in that small keyboard. I will have to do it...

I think referral traffic is great, but I'm under a year old and there are just so many people that haven't heard about me yet, so I am ok with high search traffic for now.

Maybe once I am at 20k visits a month I will worry if returning visitors is not growing along side new visitors.

I still have not figured all the details though :) (part of the reason for asking what people want). My blog is a little over an year old. Even though I feel bad about my referral and direct traffic, I am enjoying great SE traffic. If someone is offering a service that will help me increase referral/direct traffic, I am all ears :)

I only get about 12-15% of my traffic from search engines - I pretty much fail at SEO. I have the technical knowledge to do whatever needs to be done; I just don't know enough about SEO to know what actions to take.

A service that could  manage everything would be great. I don't know too much about SEO but I still manage to get over 50% of my traffic from SE so I am doing something right. I would like to have someone optimize every post for me so that when's it gets published it is good to go. Or have someone go back and optimize them a week later or something.

Other than doing my own writing and advertising, I dont like touching anything on my blog... all those suggestions and recommendations are great for people that know what they are doing in general...im the first to admit that I dont. 

 

I'd highly recommend offering a service where you just do everything for the blog, minus writing content.  I want someone to sign in and set it all up, plugins, design, layout..get me SE ready lol.

Do you know how much can be done using google keywords + webmaster tool? Those are free :) . Each of us are comfortable with different level of assistance. How I am different is – I will answer questions. Like Corey said, every single post cannot be optimized by someone else. I will explain why I do things the way I do, so they can pick it up from there. Or if someone has a pillar post idea they would like to see optimized they can come back to discuss. I won't be offering SEO for every post. That is not worth the time for me and not worth the money for the bloggers. What I will do that market samurai cannot do is

1) I will evaluate the whole site to make sure the basics are right. 

2) Come up with various combinations of keywords (as a personal finance blogger I am at an advantage here, computers cannot do this) to see which is optimal. Both Google keywords and MS can tell how much traffic a keyword brings, but they don't know the rest of the data from your google webmaster tool to see if you will succeed with that keyword.

3) Consulting. As I said before, anyone can use google keyword. My deliverable is a strategy, not a post. That is the bloggers responsibility. If the basics are right and with a strategy fit for the blog, I think I can do better than market samurai. And I am only an email away :)
