Who's to judge?
If someone is willing to pay 725/hr, then that's what he's worth. A lot of companies aren't interested in building expertise in search engine optimization. For them, it's far easier to simply pay an "expert" than to fumble along with mixed results. You obviously came across his rates because it's a service you're looking for.

Jake, do you envision the day you pay $9250 per day to someone to come to your house and teach you how to do something?

But at work last year we had a 25k project to enhance our results on google & msn. About half of that went to "consultants". For all we know, they did their work in one day. Doesn't really matter either, because it worked.

what exactly do you do for a living? You love to take the piss out of what others do, so I'm curious as to your contribution to society.

Are you sure he isn't offering any SEO (Search Engine Optimization) with that? SEO is complicated, expensive, and requires constant attention. So, if he's going to do your AdWords and also do some (one time) SEO work, it very well could be worth it.

I agree entirely that this is ridiculous. The government should do something about people like this guy taking advantage of helpless citizens who might actually pay him for this obviously overpriced nonsense. What we need is a government committee that decides if the price for a good or service is fair or not, and then based on their assessment can either allow or disallow said service. I for one cannot be expected to make my own rational decisions, and need elected officials to save me from myself. Unfortunately, as long as Hitler (sorry, George Bush) is in power this will never happen.

And frankly saying that you'll show up somewhere and then flaking is in fact ripping people off. Time is money. You waste people's time, you're ripping them off. Pretty simple. So if you want to go there, maybe I should make that implication. Hey, I'm just trying to help with your credibility. If you give people some insight into what you actually do, then everyone will be able to take your pronouncements with the respect they so richly deserve. |
