How much should SEO cost for a good content website?

It depends on how reputable the firm you're hiring. Of course, doing quality work is their virtue. It's not like you are posting nonsense for you to have links.

People charge differently some may charge $100 or some maybe even charge $1000. It depends on the seo company you want to hire.

However, I want to spend the little time I get off my university on improving my site, rather than SEO. If I hire someone, or some firm to do SEO on my site, how much should I pay? Will adSense or something similar be able to cover the costs?

The link in your signature is that the site you are talking about??

If you want someone else company/individual to do the SEO of your site then the price depends on whether you want specific or generic keywords to be aimed at improving on and what other services or sites that you want to improve your listings from.

The other thing is that not always paying more for SEO ends up helping out your site more.

I would recommend for you to get a report on your site done and discuss SEO options for your site and what you would like to achieve.

If you would like to do this let me know and I can help you out.

Why not open a new thread in the marketplace section of SEO & Website Promotion.

People who provide Seo service will contact you with their pricing.

Mate fees of SEO vary significantly and you never know which can satisfy your needs. So I would prefer to you to go with a reputed one, yes they can be bit expensive but they will give your peace of your mind.

My proof readers charges $50.00 an hour and that's just for proofing content that is already created. So you can expect to pay lots more than that.

yeah i have seen similar things happen to my client sites too

All the seo firm does the same thing, the more reputable you go with, the more you need to pay them. I would suggest you to go with a new reliable firm.

All depends upon the position of your site.If a good no. your keywords are in top search pages then it will cost you less to hire seo firm.
