The Death Of (OR REDIFINITION) OF SEO - GoFuckYourself.com

halfpint · 03-12-2010, 02:49 PM

Found this pretty interesting and thought I would share it with GFY

Some people would have you believe that search engine optimization is a dying art, and depending on how you define SEO, that may be true. But at OMS 2010 in San Diego, Greg Jarboe, the president and cofounder of SEO-PR, explained that other definitions of SEO make it very much alive.

Here?s the thing: as Jarboe admitted, ?The era of ten blue links is dead.? People also can?t expect to optimize a page by just changing keyword metatags anymore. Indeed, much of what so many SEO experts learned ten years ago has become irrelevant.

The trick is that expanded search, which can be defined as ?search wherever it happens,? is now important. Facebook, eBay, and YouTube users all perform searches, after all, and their attention is valuable. So Jarboe concluded, ?If you focus on those kinds of fundamentals, then SEO is alive and kicking.?

All they are really saying is to mix up your traffic sources as the likes of Youtube, Twitter etc are eating into the "traditional" search market.

Of course it also depends on what you are selling. If you selling a product that us time sensitive then social media rocks because it can get your site into the hands of people who are looking for that right now. If you are selling kitchen knives, chances are people are not searching twitter for kitchen knives, but instead are still hitting google and yahoo and the top results will be sites that are well optimized and offer good value for the customer.

Yes very true. I also see a lot of social networking posts come up on the top of google when searching for something. So whether its time sensitive wouldent really make that much of a difference if they are searching for it on google. The thing with them is they dont tend to stay on the top google listings for very long unless of course you keep reposting a similar article based on what you are trying to sell
