How to create SEO budget?
-
If I see the site which has 8,000 links from unique domains (RDD in Market Samurai).
How much could it cost to build such amount of links? How long does it take?
What SEO budget will be based on these data?

The numbers by themselves are meaningless. Read my response again - look closely at the sites that are linking to them: Why are they linking? What's in it for them? Could you do the same? Could you apply that same process to another site that they don't have a link from? Can you take that idea further - change it to put a new spin on it?
You can't win at SEO my chasing the links of competitors. You will always be playing catch up, you will never get every link and you'll never get ahead. However you can learn from those links and take their strategies rather than their links.
When you have a strategy then budgeting starts to make sense.

Hi
It's really difficult to say that what should be the SEO budget !!!
You should not make useless bulk of links for your site. Only links are not important if they do not fulfill Google's requirements. So be careful about link building.
Thanks

Don't be fooled in to thinking that it is about the number of links. It never has been and it is probably less so now than ever. You could build 8000 links very cheaply and very easily if that was the only thing that was important. However it probably wouldn't help.
Start looking at what the links are rather than how many of them there are. What are their 10 best links? What would it take to get links like or better than those? What about their top 50 links? At least assume that it is only authentic looking links that are going to help and then start thinking about what you can do to match or better those. The methods used will depend on the market and your website. The cost will depend on the methods and how well you do it.
I know that you were probably looking for an answer in $, but it's impossible to say and pointless to do so.

Proxy Servers & SEO
Does putting a blog on a proxy server (the pointed at the main site) hurt SEO? i.e. can Google tell? And if they can, does it matter? My server people won't use PHP on their servers but we want a Wordpress blog. So their suggested solution is that they put the blog on a proxy server and point it at the ourdomain.com/blog subfolder on our site. So to all intents and purposes it's hosted in the same place. They assure me this is normal practice and point out that our (main site) images are already being sourced from a CDN. Obviously we'll deal with Google not seeing two separate versions of the same site. But apart from this, is there any negative effect we could suffer from in SEO terms?

Few question about SEO
HI guys, I have few questions and I always find good answer here. I tried many SEO companies some very expensive and well known some with medium prices and some from India. I’m not an SEO expert but I always get the same things from SEO companies. They're saying you have to stay with us for few months before you’ll see any results. I completely understand however I don’t see the result on the end.1. What exactly Do I need SEO company for, after I do on page optimisation if they don’t work on proper backlinks. Just letting you know I’m getting content from other people.2. Is there something else which is really important after your page is optimised than backlinks? Or we should fully focus on get backlinks from customers, guest post, sharing on social media etc. to increase our DA and PA?3. Any advice about some individual or company who is good in backlink services?

SEO connectivity between domains and sub-domains
Hi, My web site georgerossphotography.com and my ecommerce site store.georgerossphotography.com each reside on different servers. georgerossphotography.com has a domain authority of 30 store.georgerossphotography.com has a domain authority of 30 Clearly, they are considered two individual sites but is there any way that I can boost the performance of the primary domain by passing along some for that good SEO juice from the sub-domain? Any input would be gratefully received. Regards,

Are dropdown menus bad for SEO
I have an ecommerce shop here: http://m00.biz/UHuGGC I've added a submenu for each major category and subcategory of items for sale. There are over 60 categories on that submenu. I've heard that loading this (and the number of links) before the content is very bad for SEO. Some will place the menu below the content and use absolute positioning to put the menu where it currently is now. It's a bit ridiculous in doing things backwards and wondering if search engines really don't understand. So the question is twofold: (1) Are the links better in a bottom loading sidemenu where they are now? (2) Given the number of links (about 80 in total with all categories and subcategories), is it bad to have the sidemenu show the subcategories which, in this instance, are somewhat important? Should I just go for the drilldown, e.g. show only categories and then show subcategories after? Truth is that users probably would prefer the dropdown with all the categories and second level subcategories, despite the link number and placement.
