If you believe its dead, then its prolly dead for you.. But you can get Bing ads or facebook ads to get traffic to your site, its highly effective if you know who you are targetting :)

Actually SEO died back in 2001... but they only buried it two years ago when it was like... REALLY dead.

Yes it's dead. So left it and do a favor for us
 
Think it this way- If thousand websites selling "laptop", and Google can only show 10 results on 1st page then Google must need to rank these websites in order. There's no other choice for them. They have made some algorithm to do that.

Making your website compliant with these algorithms is SEO.

Do think it can die, ever?
 
Obviously you never did SEO or at least correctly! Why else would you post a thread like this?
 
The day when google stocks tanked, is the day when SEO really R.I.P
 
Yes SEO is dead. Google started handpicking the results for every search term.
 
Because SEO represents the means and methods through which a website is optimized for a better search ranking, for better online visibility and all that, SEO cannot simply cease to exist. The strategies change, but the web also changes, all is dynamic, so... we may never know how SEO will become in 1, 2, or 10 years from now on. What we can do is keep real and find new and creative ideas to optimize websites.
 
Yeah SEO is dead now give up. Xrumer 12 is a scam too.
 
First of all, thanks to everyone who said SEO is not dead. You people are truly smart, from your reply I learned what is SEO, how Google work, whats the importance of algorithm etc. Honestly, if I have never posted this question, I would have never come to know what SEO and Google is. Working in Digital Marketing industry for 4-5 years would be of no value to me.

My point of asking this question was different. Earlier, I saw many people preferred link building using high PR blogs, stupid keywords rich articles publish, article directory submission and many other stuffs. But now, I believe using these skills can harm your site ranking, so better to implement the website structure properly using well written content which can help your readers. But also, there is a huge trend in social media marketing, Pay Per Click now. Do you think someone who used to spend $5000-10000 per month for SEO will keep the same investment today on SEO???
 
SEO = Search engine optimization

If there is still search engines there is still going to be SEO.

A couple of points to address this post, AdsInternetMarketing.

You talked about website structure and content on a site; that is SEO, it is more specifically on site SEO and it will probably never be dead.

You mention that link building, PR Blogs, article submissions and many other process as possibly hurting sites. Done improperly they can but done properly they rock like Elvis.

The trend in social media marketing and PPC has actually been around for a while and is probably going to be around forever as well. Paid advertising has been a main stay of most businesses for centuries and I would expect it to remain and that is all those mediums are... just focused on our industry.

Finally, will someone that pays 5 - 10K a month keep that investment in SEO? Absolutely. I'm sure that I am not the only one that sells SEO services where business is increasing and our client base is growing, not just in size but in age, as many stay with us so we can continue to aid in ranking their sites and many come to us to start. I would bet that is across the board in that industry.

I think that you may have it in your head that the sky is falling a bit and it is not, that is not happening in SEO.

A member of an SEO forum since 2011 and finally decides to investigate what SEO is?
I am amazed and astounded.
 
Trust me, first time I got a reply from someone which makes sense. Anyways I agree with what you said above. I appreciate your knowledge and respect to the market. All I wanted a solid discussion which can help me to increase my awareness on SEO but just look at the replies above, you will feel like some stupids posted just to increase their post count.
