What exactly do SEO specialists charge for?

When I develop a new site, I meta tag it, use alt image tags, and a few other little things to make it search engine friendly.

My question is, for people who charge for SEO, what specific services is it that they are actually charging for? Reciprocal Linking? I was wondering if there are designers who design a website but without meta tags or onsite optimization, and then they offer an "SEO Package" for a certain amount of money that will include meta tags and such. If you help a company make a lot more money, then 30k a year seems a fair reward, but what actual work is it that an SEO specialist does every day or every week that warrants 30k a year?

That would all depend on the skillset of the person. SEO is just one element within the overall equation. You have design, database stuff, email marketing, PPC/CPC management, etc.

In some instances, income is relevant to experience, not the amount of work being performed. It's the quality of the work that you are paying for.

And a few other little things to make it search engine friendly.

Actually, there are more than a "few". Knowing what those are and how to use them to your advantage is what you would also pay for.
