And to answer your question from the post title, How much does SEO cost?"

It probably costs less than you think, and my projects usually pay for themselves within 2 - 3 months and then it's all gravy after that. The rankings usually stick for a year or more without even having to do additional work.

Which reminds me, if anyone is offering SEO services where there is a steady ongoing monthly fee and they are going to submit you to all the 100's of search engines every month ... run like hell unless you want to be the star in your own production of "Back to the Future".
