Seo! Is it art or science?

Interesting question to see what my fellow optimizers think of the SEO process and techniques! So you guys! Is SEO an ART or is it a SCIENCE? Or is it a little bit of both?

See you on the first page!

 

well... i like ur question ..
According to me SEO is neither an art nor a Science...It jst ..doing ur wrk very smartly..

 

very interesting question seo is an art or science?
i think it is an art...
becoz it is technique how you work it to improve your page rank

 

I think it both. Art and science.

 

yes, I agree, it's both. Interesting ..

 

it's a interesting question SEO is a art and science. It depends how we take this.

 

I believe it's an art. Everyone knows the concept, but not everyone can do it.

 

yeah, an interesting question. seo is an art as well as a science according to me.

 

I think SEO is not a art or science but it is the way for optimizing the website in first page of google, yahoo and msn search engines.

 

I think SEO is science. But unfortunately it is not an exact science. There are certain rules which every webmaster should know, but every website/keyword needs unique tactics.

 

There are certain things that are analogous with a science, but there are certain things (like semantic research of on-page optimization), which are more of an art than science.

 

IMO SEO is more of a science.

 

As we all know when google is indexing a site the whole process is based on mathematical formulas. I think that's more the enough to say that SEO is science.

 

Lol... Page Rank? WHy do you care about Pagerank so much.... I preffer Good SERPs and alot of quality traffic than PR 6.... I know alot PR 4-5 sites that have a miserable 50 visitors a day and a few PR1-3 sites that have atleast 200-300 visitors a day!

 

Nice question!! i think its both as well good technique.

 

I believe its an art. The concepts are simple but it takes a true craftsman to pull it off.

 

I think it's both... Being very crafty with your art... Technique and flair are what it takes to pull off good SEO!

A company I 'USED' to work for Fuseo are ok, see my profile: http://www.fuseo.co.uk/people.htm
At the bottom, (note I'm just using this for bragging right as the made me redundant, due to company funds... just my way of showing that I was in the SEO business...)

Lol.

Anyway, yes SEO is abit of both

 

If SEO make you happy, SEO is art.
if SEO make you angry, SEO is science.

 

Both gotta be creative at times and also do exact things that will make it work!

 

i think seo is an art to attract visitors
