Comments on: SEO Is Dead, And The New King Is ‘SMO’ http://paidcontent.org/2010/10/27/419-seo-is-dead-and-the-new-king-is-smo/ The economics of digital content Wed, 19 Jun 2013 02:09:19 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: TeeGee http://paidcontent.org/2010/10/27/419-seo-is-dead-and-the-new-king-is-smo/#comment-80787 Thu, 12 Jan 2012 16:02:58 +0000 http://paidcontent.wp.gostage.it/2010/10/27/419-seo-is-dead-and-the-new-king-is-smo/#comment-80787 But if I want to buy a bicycle chain how does Social Media help me with that? I can go to Google, type the name of my bike and the words “buy bike chain” and come up with 50 pages where I can immediately purchase what I want. How will social media change that? It won’t. Social media is great for content like LOLCat videos, but not for widgets. I’ve never Stumbled Upon a bike chain.

Will Google be passed by one day (we can only hope), maybe but SEO will always play a part in any site. I do agree that FB is another avenue and a good one at that but it is all about research.

What I have found is that webmasters, project managers and firms that have zero project management experience have miss-managed what seo would do for their websites. Evaluation of your industry is key to whether seo is something worth while. I invest and build my own project and have been in seo for long-time now and those who cannot finance and take risk on their own capital, will never have good enough information to determine if seo was a good strategy for their business models.

number of followers.  The truth is these are pretty easily manipulated.  We as SEO professionals know  the ways to do it; but choose not to because we are White-hats.  I think that there will be something called correlation, where you will find search engines use a combination of links and social signals.. they will use an algo to determine how many links, traffic and social signals correlate to a genuine user experience

The first person who comment really bashed your foresight, but ironically for him, I believe you were pretty much right on the money.
Old School SEO, keyword and key phrases placed in content, while important, will no longer be the gold standard in optimizing content. We recently wrote an article about it on our blog at http://seo-alien.com/articles/social-media-influence/ Thank you for your post and allowing me to share!

First, I know very well how blueline grabbed seo rank through really great PR(and Online PR) efforts and I am very impressed with your following Social. But, SEO as a practice, will never be “dead”. It will become a part , although you are right that SMO will be more important, as an online measurement element of brand. The online marketing team of the near future (and the one Agent-cy represents) brings together content writers, SEO developers, brand strategists and social networking experts. You have touched on some great points. I am delivering a class this next Tuesday, May 24 at General Assembly on The Impact of Social media on Search” should you want to stop by….http://socialmediasearch.eventbrite.com/
