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 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.
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!
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
