Are SEO services and blog services DEAD?

Discussion in 'Link Development' started by tradester, Jan 22, 2016.

    Are SEO services (like directory submissions, article marketing, press release submissions) and blogs services (like guest posts) DEAD?
    Is there still a lot of demand for such services?

    Good question. Even if they are not dead, Google will certainly do their best to limit them and reduce their impact. Let us remember that internet was invented so that the people can exchange information freely on a global scale. Google has a similar view. In that regard, they will most likely do everything in their power to reduce and eliminate any improper or lackluster information. However, I wouldn't be surprised if these services mutated in some way. In the end, there is no end to human greed. If there's will there's a way.

    Absolutely not. No matter how much Google tries to fend off SEO providers, it will always be possible to manipulate search engines to give you your desired results. All search engines function as a series of algorithms. They can keep rolling out new updates, but workarounds will always be discovered. Yesterday's solution is tomorrow's problem.

    And yes, there is still a growing demand for such services. Traditional and new businesses alike are beginning to open their minds and realise how powerful the Internet can be. In our world today, a company in any industry can possibly sustain itself with a top ranking for a strong keyword. That's also why ad expenditure across the world has been on the rise.

    I don't think it's a dying industry, in fact, I think the demand for it will continue to grow.

    You can do SEO yourself, these companies are all rubbish. Read a few books and learn online.

    No matter, how Google change its algorithm, still link building is the major factor of ranking. What Google says is to maintain quality in terms of content and links from quality sites which are relevant. If web directory, articles directory and blog post are dead, then a major portion of link vote suppose to be down which is the core criteria of high ranking or low ranking in SERP.

    So, of course the SEO and blog services are not dead. In fact, it's on high demand in coming days. But you've to fulfill many criteria to make it worthy which actually becomes hard day by day.

    @tradester I think, SEO is improving itself day by day in some methadologies and techniques,
    For the most, work on quality content and Social accounts, I found Pinterest, Reddit, Delicious and Google plus as good helper for me.
    I think that Google has decided to rely only on Content in 2016.
