The price of an SEO campaign involves many steps, including:
* Industry analysis
* Competition analysis
* Keyphrase research
* Keyphrase selection
* Keyphrase implementation (title tags, meta tags, website copy, etc)
* Linkbuilding
* Search engine submission using sitemaps.xml
* Directory submission
* Monitoring and reporting
Each is equally important and vital to your campaign. A good-value SEO campaign from an experienced web developer should cost $2,000 to $10,000 up front, depending on the competition and focus of your market.
A lower quote suggests the web developer is not experienced enough to obtain the results you need. And a higher quote is a good indication the agency is too large to offer a competitive price.

On October 22, 2008, Popular, Inc. issued a news release announcing its unaudited operational results for the quarter and nine-months ended September 30, 2008, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. The information furnished pursuant to this Item 2.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, nor shall it be incorporated by reference into any of the Corporation's filings under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, unless otherwise expressly stated in such filing.
Item 2.05 Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities
On October 17, 2008, the Board of Directors of Popular, Inc. approved two restructuring plans. The restructuring plan for Banco Popular North America (the BPNA's Restructuring Plan) contemplates the following measures: closing, consolidation or sale of underperforming branches in all existing markets, the shutting down, sale or downsizing of lending businesses that do not generate deposits or fee income, and the reduction of general expenses associated with functions supporting the aforementioned branch and balance sheet initiatives. It is anticipated that the BPNA Restructuring Plan will result in estimated combined charges for the Corporation of $36.5 million, to be recognized during the fourth quarter of 2008 and in 2009, broken down as follows:

As a result of the BPNA Restructuring Plan, the Corporation expects an overall headcount reduction of 30% or about 640 full-time equivalent positions. The restructuring plan of E-LOAN (the "E-LOAN" Restructuring Plan") contemplates E-LOAN ceasing to operate as a direct lender over the next few weeks. E-LOAN will continue to market deposit accounts under its name for the benefit of BPNA and offer loan customers the option of being referred to a trusted consumer lending partner.
It is anticipated that the E-LOAN Restructuring Plan will result in estimated combined charges for the Corporation of $13.6 million, to be recognized during the fourth quarter of 2008 and in 2009, broken down as follows:

These estimates are preliminary as management is still in the process of evaluating the cost of implementing the restructuring Plans. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that the final charges may not differ by a significant amount from these estimates.
Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits
Federal loans to students
Federal student loans in the United States are authorized under Title IV of the Higher Education Act as amended.
These loans are available to college and university students via funds disbursed directly to the school and are used to supplement personal and family resources, scholarships, grants, and work-study. They may be subsidized by the U.S. Government or may be unsubsidized depending on the student's financial need.
Except in severe cases, upon death, the closest relative or next of kin must pay off the loans in lieu of the deceased.
Both subsidized and unsubsidized loans are guaranteed by the U.S. Department of Education either directly or through guaranty agencies. Nearly all students are eligible to receive federal loans (regardless of credit score or other financial issues). Both types offer a grace period of six months, which means that no payments are due until six months after graduation or after the borrower becomes a less-than-half-time student without graduating. Both types have a fairly modest annual limit. The dependent undergraduate limit effective for loans disbursed on or after July 1, 2008 is as follows (combined subsidized and unsubsidized limits): $5,500 per year for freshman undergraduate students, $6,500 for sophomore undergraduates, and $7,500 per year for junior and senior undergraduate students, as well as students enrolled in teacher certification or preparatory coursework for graduate programs. For independent undergraduates, the limits (combined subsidized and unsubsidized) effective for loans disbursed on or after July 1, 2008 are higher: $9,500 per year for freshman undergraduate students, $10,500 for sophomore undergraduates, and $12,500 per year for junior and senior undergraduate students, as well as students enrolled in teacher certification or preparatory coursework for graduate programs. Subsidized federal student loans are only offered to students with a demonstrated financial need. Financial need may vary from school to school. For these loans, the federal government makes interest payments while the student is in college. For example, those who borrow $10,000 during college will owe $10,000 upon graduation.
Unsubsidized federal student loans are also guaranteed by the U.S. Government, but the government does not pay interest for the student, rather the interest accrues during college. Nearly all students are eligible for these loans regardless of demonstrated need. Those who borrow $10,000 during college will owe $10,000 plus interest upon graduation. For example, those who have borrowed $10,000 and had $2,000 accrue in interest will owe $12,000. Interest will begin accruing on the $12,000. The accrued interest will be "capitalized" into the loan amount, and the borrower will begin making payments on the accumulated total. Students can choose to pay the interest while still in college; however, few students choose to exercise this option.
Federal student loans for graduate students have higher limits: $8,500 for subsidized Stafford and $12,500 (limits may differ for certain courses of study) for unsubsidized Stafford. Many students also take advantage of the Federal Perkins Loan. For graduate students the limit for Perkins is $6,000 per year.
loan taxes
United States taxes
Most of the basic rules governing how loans are handled for tax purposes in the United States are uncodified by both Congress (the Internal Revenue Code) and the Treasury Department (Treasury Regulations — another set of rules that interpret the Internal Revenue Code). Yet such rules are universally accepted.
1. A loan is not gross income to the borrower. the borrower has the obligation to repay the loan, the borrower has no accession to wealth.
2. The lender may not deduct the amount of the loan. The rationale here is that one asset (the cash) has been converted into a different asset (a promise of repayment). are not typically available when an outlay serves to create a new or different asset.
3. The amount paid to satisfy the loan obligation is not deductible by the borrower.
4. Repayment of the loan is not gross income to the lender. In effect, the promise of repayment is converted back to cash, with no accession to wealth by the lender.
5. Interest paid to the lender is included in the lender’s gross income. paid represents compensation for the use of the lender’s money or property and thus represents profit or an accession to wealth to the lender. Interest income can be attributed to lenders even if the lender doesn’t charge a minimum amount of interest.
6. Interest paid to the lender may be deductible by the borrower. In general, interest paid in connection with the borrower’s business activity is deductible, while interest paid on personal loans are not deductible. The major exception here is interest paid on a home mortgage.
