Grand commentary about SEO. I’m frankly amazed that it hasn’t been pronounced earlier.

I run a forum (IPB1.3.1 Final with lots of security patches) and I don’t think its url is Search Engine friendly (?showtopic=123).
Why do certain URLs become Search Engine Friendly compared to others?

SEO is the most important process if you want to earn money in the web. If you have done great SEO to your site then you will rank highly in SERPs where the real money is.

Well i’m afraid you didn’t quite get what i meant back there, ah well..

As for the 6 figure seo companies, after all the linkbuilding and content management it all boils down to the very basics on-site seo. I am not speaking from “results” from “trusted” seo companies im speaking out of my own experiments with seo.

As for your last point, SEO and SEM have their own elements some do effect each other but mostly you are either ranking better or getting more traffic from those. The only time i go for SMO is when i need more traffic and i have seen great results for it.

I really don’t care what other people think to be honest, i blog about the facts that have proven profitable for me. hehe ;p

Thanks for the comments though, much appreciated. I like it when people add their 2c to the topic at hand, makes me aware of the view from the otherside.
You have a nice blog by the way.

Your first point makes no sense in reply to what I said. People are more aware of seo “slimers” by posts like this one. The cost for good seo companies includes much more work and better long term results. I doubt anyone would pay a 6 figure number to be told what you have just said though

If you don’t think SEM is not going to effect SEO then im afraid you may get left behind.

Anyway my posts were not criticisms for your post but on the subject as a whole, take it how you will

The fact that “people spend alot on seo” is the reason the number seos today is more then ever (this includes people who call themselves seo for no darn reason). What i did was outline the very basics of SEO, things that people can do themselves rather then paying a 6 figure amount to “seo companies”.

The “nots” consist of all the marketing/promotion based tactics i use to drive traffic usually while you’re doing Social Media Optimization, they bookmark pages on those sites rank higher for your keyword then your site, so all you really get from that is traffic, i do-not consider that onsite or offsite seo by any standards.

Well there has been seo for over 10 years and people have “cared” for it and spent a lot for a long time! Prices are more reasonable now, with more work being done to websites in terms of design and maintenance rather than just hitting a “submit” button and creating Meta data. Of course you should look at results from “trusted” seo companies that rank well themselves for most seo terms.

I also disagree about what you consider “not” to be seo. I think there is a definitive merge between Social media optimization and search engine optimization happening. Although it is off-site optimization there are relationships.
