Business question, What is the going rate for optimizing a small site, small local business, about 8 pgs. Should an SEO consultant charge by page, hour or site, and at what range ($$). Thanks...

It really depends on what the SEO is going to do for the money. Since I'm not an SEO myself, and always do my own seo work, I'm not sure what the going rate is. However, a good SEO should take into consideration all of the following -
Optimize page titles and meta tags
Reword body content for appropriate keyword density
Reorganize site navigation for optimal spidering
Create sitemap
Get backlinks
Optimize payperclick campaigns such as Google Adwords

Business minded SEO experts operating on their own can make about the same money as an average lawyer does.
Are you still in the wrong business or do you want to keep up your specialized training in a field that is in constant growth.

I'm not so sure that I would be personally comfortable being a fulltime SEO. While I can't disagree that there is an enormous amount of money to be made in it right now, it is a very volatile industry. Additionally, you're always at the whim of Google and the search engines. I think that there would always be this constant looming stress over my head running a business that was 100% at the mercy of just one other company, regardless of my own business skills. I need a bit more independence than that.

The world's top SE Consultant, Danny Sullivan of SEW charges $500 / hr. That's the max your should pay. Otherwise, your question is a very tricky one to answer.
