I think within few years seo will be automatic process and there will be no need to optimize a website to get rank higher in search engines.So share your views on future of seo professionals.
Ya right its a serious question, if in near future such software of technology will come up then what we guys SEOs will do ? we must discuss upon it!
SEO will change in the future. SEO will be : - writing usefull articles and tring to publish them - writing press releases - take participation in the forums. Automatic tools which works nowadays WON'T work in the future. SE will improve their algorithms to fight automation in SEO, and WebSpammers and BlackHat SEO will try to find ways to avoid detection. Like game of cat and mouse...
Software cannt replace manual intelligence. SEO needs involvement of human intelligence. Many processes can be automoted, infact already there are various automated tools available for SEO. But still human intelligence and involvement is a must. If one is seeking a career just as a SEO or restricting himself to SEO, he will be in danger. Future prospects are in taking up Internet Marketing as a career and develop your into a master of many things involving SEO, PPC, Forums Marketing, Affliate Marketing, online advertising and so on. Than only your career can be secure and rewarding as well. Career just as a SEO in long term is neither secure nor rewardful.
Nothing will happen. If you have hair, you need to go to a barber for haircut. Their is no such automated process that rank you well in search engines. in my openion, a Good SEO never outsmart a Search engine, but he float with SE's requirements. He work towards techniques that provide optimum benefite to clients. Sometimes, applying SEO techniques yourselves may results and hiring a professional can do the job well. However if one can spend time, h/she can use quality books, test the resulkts and apply of it's own. But it requires time.. This is where an SEO comes into picture.. my 2C
there will always be a need to market something over the internet and that need will always result to seo or sem so... I don't think seos will be gone after a few years
Anyone here think that SEO will be measured by conversions rather than position? I think that SEO will will soon be about more than getting the horse to the water. I think that it will become more about getting the horse to drink. Of course this already exists when you look at the bigger marketing picture, but I feel that the boundaries of SEO will start to blur more as it becomes further integrated into the general marketing paradigm. Multi-disciplined consultants will probably be the winners here. WRT opening comment about automation - if SEO becomes automated (and therefore generic) then most likely it will no longer deliver results IMO.
Don't you guys think that, nowadays stay with a single job for a long time and having a expertise in single job will affects in future. Today every one looking for multiskill people to fatch them multi millions ? Nodoubt SEO is ever green field but there is limit for that i think so!
You have the valid points!! SEO is restricted to Position, and there are lot of elements that covert visitors into clients. i.e. - It's all depends how the marketing people handle the clients, - what is your sales copy, how strong your product is, - What elements used in creating your website, - How you online marketer projects your brand and many more. Disagree a bit, A SEO prepare the health of the site so that it stay longer. H/she advice the "horse" what necessary things to be taken into consideration, so that he can run on track well. I feel, people with specific expertise are winner here. One cant expect the same output from a graphic designer who specialized for print media rather than a Graphic designer who specialized in creating graphics for web. Similarly a SEO and a Online marketing consultant are two different techniques and people specialized in field can deliver better results. I agree, there is no such automated process that beat human mind
This is not 100% true. people need specialized skills. One should believe in what he is doing, how he is doing and how much expertize in his field, he owns. It reminded me 2 old sayings: - Jack of all but master of none - If one pay for penutes he gets, penuts Largely depends upon the skill one possess and how much updated one is!
May be you say true that SEO is dismissed. but dear, SEO is Big concept for boost our website ranking and PR so its not possible come very fast, bye the way kind your information social media, sem, smm or SEO is a part or Internet marketing so it has some changes only according to Google algorithm not to be completely stopped. Thanks SEO Web Triangle
I think no, because if it`s automation everybody will use, there must be something that separate the ranks..
As people are starting to realize that they can't fool Google like they use to. I think that eventually all black hat techniques will disappear, making it hard for people to get fast results, but in the long run will help the people that do SEO properly.
how did you manage to dig out a 5 year old thread? i dont think dynamicseo has been waiting for 5 years to read the response to his 5 year old post
Who knows.. God only knows... Always we believe in a positive way... In my opinion is, SEO field cannot be destroyed due to automated software's..
Its a good question. Since while comparing to previous years we can able to find more changes in SEO. But now social media marketing is best than of doing SEO.
