I can say this though, I turn down 50/50 rev splits because I have a business to run and bills to pay, for the amount of people that offer me a 50/50 rev split, it would take a while to get paid and to have 10 jv's going, thats just a headache. Whose to say your not going to spend 3 months ranking a site out just to not be paid? SEO takes time and depending on the niche and keywords, could take longer or less but most of the time longer.
The right way to go about it is to have a deposit put down, then depending on the duration of the service, work out a monthly payment upon a monthly report until the job is paid up.
Watch out for guarantees as well, there are no guarantees in SEO and any real seo or firm will tell you that first.
Just my 2 cents.

Couldn't agree more. Organic traffic is achieved over time, and even the best SEO-sensitive text cannot achieve this overnight as most employers would expect. Problem is -writers promise a lot more than they can deliver just to bag the gig. Avoid writers who promise instant results, because it is simply NOT practical to deliver.
