Does SEO work? I am doubtful, I am running a little site about bikes, I am trying whatever I can, add the right words into title, page titles, headings, whatever, and I am still not getting the traffic I would like.

You betcha, it does work. Note, there are two SEOs.

On-site SEO and Off-site SEO.

On-site SEO means page design, layout, keywords, titles, etc.

Off-site SEO is links to your website from the right places.

lets say if I ordered SEO service and it takes 4-6 months to get a website in the top 5 for a medium-to-high keyword how long would that stay up there?

The position is not set in stone, unless you rank way way ahead of everyone. I have one keyword that made it to the second 5, and it has been fluctuating between 5 and 10 for the past 6 months without any intervention from me.

yeah SEO really works but the main thing that works in SEO is the keywords which we choose :)  ;) and the position is can beonly maintained if you have much higher rank than others :)

Yes it works have great growth...
