I found this article entitled 2010: the year SEO isn’t important anymore?

What is your point of view? Any comments?

**ian0031** · 12-22-2009, 01:07 AM

This is not true because the SEO process is a continuous work that most of the sites rely on to get some market on their site and gaining market for their site is very important to them, not only by being popular in the web but to gain also income. If there's no internet anymore, SEO will no longer live, that is the way I think

but it's impossible to happen that internet will be crash.

In my point of view SEO hasn't lost its importance. But may be the ways and methods through which we obtain first page of search engines will be changed.

that is NOT true, SEO will still a very vital role in website promotion and marketing. i guess, a lot more of shake-up will happen in 2010 because of the release of Google Caffeine.

So it will be SEM then not SEO??

Optimising is just one part of Search Engine Marketing it's only the "link spamming numpties" who believe that what they call "optimising" is the be all and end all.

Maybe it's finally time they learnt! (or become extinct)

I do not think that anything true in this article. SEO is an ongoing process and will continue for as long as internet exist and also its imporantnce wil increase day by day.

I don't really understand - this guy is saying the reason SEO will die is because Google are "getting so good at figuring out the real businesses that deserve to be on pages"?

Firstly, I'm sure that Google were always pretty good at doing this. And The fact that they are constantly refining and updating their techniques should not make a difference - at the end of the day it will always be possible to optimize your site in some way or another.

I think this guy hasn't fully made the distinction between optimizing and marketing/promotion

I read it more as the fact that Google is finally doing something about "SEO's" being able to artificially manipulate search results in the way they have been doing these past few years.

Again, if you are manipulating it, that suggests foul play. If you are simply making sure that your site is in the optimum condition for being recoginzed by search engines for what it is, the Google shouldn't have a problem with that. If you do it properly, then you are actually doing Google a favour, allowing them to link to appropriate and relevant content.

Those who 'artificially manipulate' as you say are NOT optimizers, they are more often than not spammers or keyword stuffers, and ultimately never come out on top. That is who I think this article was talking about, not optimizers.

Yeah I have to agree. I think there could be a major overhaul in how SEO is affected, but it can't go away. It is a process. New, "good" businesses come up all the time.

First off, Robert Scoble is a jerk off...

Second, they were mainly talking about "local" search. And in case some of you haven't noticed, SEO, SEM, SMO, SME, blah, blah, blah.... is a living, breathing animal. We have to change with it.

Third, I just want to say that I think the Twitter and Facebook results showing up is going to HELP the spammers get their pages up the rankings, which means those of us that don't spam are gonna have to work that much harder to get SERP's.

I have just never liked him, I really can't remember what it was that gave me that feeling, but I really could care less about most of the so called "A-List" bloggers that think their bunghole smells like roses....

**chrishirst** · 12-22-2009, 04:03 PM

I have to say that I pay very little attention to the "A-list" wafflers myself, I often wonder how they can type with their heads firmly planted in their rectal orifice.

Better watch this video Will SEO still exist in Five years? - Matt Cutts

And we all know that online business is keep on growing. So I guess SEO will still exist and it will be more harder.
