Is Seo Dying?

    I have heard some people say this and mean it adamantly, however, i'm not so sure I agree. Certainly the concept will exist as long as search engines do? I think what may differ are the ways to get there. What are your thoughts on this?

    SEO is not dying. Whoever says that is plain stupid, and misinformed.
    SEO will live until google exist. If you have money, you can trick google into ranking you for anything.
    What I see is that in order to get rankins now, It is more about spending money on quality backlins, other than being a good SEO.

    Google's habit of falling for underhanded tricks and sneaky tactics is dying. In its place comes a rebirth of the need for quality content of all kinds, not just the written form. You're not going anywhere with Google unless you're giving something back and that 'something' has to be of value to the readers.

    No, SEO is not dying, SEO won't die or if SEO dies what's the logic of search engines? So if SEO dies, search engines will be transformed in something else. This is a hierarchical structure, Google needs SEO to bring quality, they need SEO experts, they will always need them to support their algorithms. It is something else that it is becoming more serious and a little bit more hard, but no it is not dying.

    If your definition of SEO is blind link-building then yes...

    However if your definition of SEO is 'getting better rankings on Google' then the answer is NEVER. Google is just a big computer and like any other big computer you need to know what buttons to push to get what you want.

    Those people posting 'SEO is dead' articles simply feel they aren't up to the task of pushing those big computer buttons anymore, and that is a reflection on them personally... not an entire industry...

    I think SEO is rising more not dying. As Google progressing day by day, SEO also rises along with Google. Whenever there is Google there will be SEO.. And No one can imagine that Google like big search engine can die.:)

    SEO just became a bit harder, which is good for quality SEO specialists. Also, in one way it is now more internet marketing in general than only SEO as a lot more factors are included if you want high rankings.

    Seo is not dying. The people who said that are totally lacking in latest knowledge. Seo is developing day by day. New seo techniques and seo rules are coming day by day. Therefore seo is not dying, seo is growing.

    People have had search needs since as long as they’ve been thinking. Search engines are merely a new, efficient way of answering the needs. The demand for answers isn’t going away; search engines aren’t going away, nor will how search engines provide answers. That means SEO in its own way has a very good future.

    SEO will never die. Things you have to do is work for quality not for quantity. Focus on content and in on-page try to get only high quality links.
