Is SEO dead?

    There is an interesting post by Jonathan Leger on his blog entitled "Is SEO dead?".

    My input is as follows:

    I'm a full-time marketer and I believe in many workable things that appear useless to the others who are just reading and hearing things from various doubtful sources.

    I agree that it is absurd to think that seo is dead but the web 2.0 sites are useful in getting traffic for new websites since some of the SEs take time to index them.

    When I launch new websites (about 4/month) I submit relevant articles to the web 2.0 sites to get instant sites. Never failed.

    The talks that you can't sell much things on web 2.0 are made by those who are not seriously into internet marketing. I promote various downloadable digital products on the web 2.0 sites.

    I visited video sites to watch funny stuffs when I need relax. While relaxing at such sites I do study many videos promoting digital products in order for me to improve my own videos. I had uploaded videos to Metacafe and various other leading video sites but not YouTube because I believe that there are too much "entertaining" videos there and my 10-secs are not much of an attraction there compared to laughing babies, piano-playing cats, etc.

    Forums are excellent places to promote my stuffs while participating in intelligent discussions about topics I’m familiar with (adsense, clickbank, blogging, etc). My favorite are DP, WF and WebProWorld where I’m a regular and popular known as “ainmohd”. My signatures on the forums is a part of my seo strategies and I make it a point to post useful and “friendly” comments instead of making short irrelevant ones.

    My long term objective is to implement much of the seo whitehat (a bit of grey will be alright) techniques and my short-term objective is to post many articles on the web 2.0.

    Conclusion: SEO is still very much alive despite too much domination by G and the web 2.0 are not to be rubbished.

    Comments please. Thanks.

    Currently SEO is alive and kicking, but who knows what will happen in a year or two.

    SEO dead? I don't see a way for SEO to die or hospitalize it'll grow more and be more healthy.

    well said. CONSTANTLY evolving. Which is what a lot of people either don't realize, or can't accept.

    SEO is dead. Today google searched using my recent search history.

    Whats the point in that? What i was searching for was nothing that i have searched recently so it gave me wrong results.

    Now thats why I think you can say SEO Dead because most users are logged into google for some reason or another and if your logged it its default set to record search history.

    It is alive and well. Authors write these type of articles to gain some popularity and attention. It doesnt work with me at least.

    cool_78,
    You wrote "Currently SEO is alive and kicking, but who knows what will happen in a year or two."

    Web 2.0 sites would probably delivered more focussed visitors to websites ranked by the communities at web 2.0 sites.

    Views are requested from those who are familiar with web 2.0 sites.

    I feel it begin dead because my sites can submitted to over 300 directories and bookmark.

    But it can't help my sites to good position on search engines.
