I have done freelance work through oDesk and the longer projects were quite valuable. Rates are low but not that low. According to oDesk's stats, the average rate for a web developer is about $16/hr.

$16/hr for a developer is super low.

I guess you can't compare remote to local SF, but $100-$125/hr is a good rate for devs here.
