If the SEO firm did an adequate job of developing the paid backlinks, I would think that it was this that caused your improved rankings. In general, I haven't seen positive benefits from using products like WebCEO to optimize content as being useful. Does it make a difference... maybe. Does that difference compare to a sound link building effort... Not even close. I would say the father of this baby is the SEO house.

We then outsourced the paidfor backlink management to a SEO house. Results have been good we've moved from position 360 to position 34 for DELL hardware products in just over a month. Good to see but the problem I have now is who's effort produced this result. Currently suffering from 'Victory has a 1000 fathers here..'
