SEO Reality Check - Lessons from building 17 websites, and almost 50 PBN sites in the last 5 years

[Xeon]

The biggest issue with SEO, especially for small businesses that are just starting up, is that it's extremely expensive. It seems to be a game for rich people with millions a month to spend, play.

The tools alone are enough to ruin your starting capital, and those quality backlinks which you need to buy are like, $200 - $600 each? And how many hundreds of those do you need to have any positive effect on your Google search ranking?

Let's say you buy 450 links, each one is $200 each = $90,000
That's not even counting other branches of SEO like content writing, keyword search tools etc.

And it's not a one-time thing. I understand SEO needs to be done every 3 - 6 months (maybe even monthly or weekly). Wow......
