SEO is like a snowball going down hill, it only gets bigger as it picks up speed.

Ya it is a big problem for designers. They are not deeply into SEO’s.
But for a person with a little knowledge, CMS is a really good way for him to learn.
And i consider its good that anybody today can easily create website. Though you are correct that the structure of these websites is really bad(I’ve seen some), but they don’t cause threat to established bloggers.
Anyways thanks for the wonderful article, those points are really informative.

SEO won’t die…but…ppl will me more involved in ‘other’ things in future. Because:

There are only 10 spots (1st page)…If you cant be on top 10…….its practically useless to spend thousands if not millions on ‘SEO’. Because in 10-20 years time…the total number of compeition will double/triple, so will be the amount of searches….But what about the Search Engine? People still feel that google will dominate…and that means you only have 10 spots to play with…. If the top 10 big companies…fill up the top 10 spot (using their huge amount of capital/money) in hand…….the new industries won’t stand a chance..

Google or Any other SE may come up with something new…. (3D/Random/AI SERP) which can create more opportunities…

Great post. I thin SEO will be around for awhile but will add on SMO, social media optimization, as another way for SEO professionals to help their clients.

Let’s also bear in mind that while there are ten spots on a Google page, the numbers typically say that few people click past #3 or 4, i.e. “below the fold.”

People who are good at SEO will always survive, since they will learn new ways to promote and make money for themselves, if it is SMO or something in future. Good people who understand the fundamentals of Industry are always needed at every point of time.

SEO may die, if google starts ranking pages only on the basis of the traffic they get for a particular keyword(s)(avg time on the site,bounce rate, total page views, page views/page, no of unique visitors etc), or which are bookmarked the most. Something like digg is doing these days. The website which will get maximum votes will be at the top.

I agree with you Joy. It’ll take a long time for the SEO to lose it’s power. As long as there are sites and search engines, it will stay

I don’t think SEO will die anytime soon because everyday new sites were created…which also means that the competition for the top spots also tightens…but I agree with Ashwin that after a few years SEO will be empowered and more people will have a lot of knowledge on how to do SEO properly….^^

I totally agree with the “Designers won’t ever fully understand SEO” – It is true in the fact it does seem to be that its moving backwards.

I think you have to put some emphasis on the fact the Client does not always understand seo or what it even is, so a clients tender can sometimes be hard to work to

and another reason:
“Developers won’t ever fully understand SEO”
For example one of my PHP develop said:
12 web page = one php file (one title, keyword, …) with one id from 1 to 12 :-D

Re #1 it looks like G is experimenting with showing more than 10 results for locally-oriented searches.

Google’s just updated the new universal SERPs again. I saw 10 Map results integrated into the SERPs, seemingly ranked by # of reviews.

Great post!
Only two things:
About CMS – I know a couple of SEO agency in my country (Italy – excuse for my english… :)) that use Joomla with his plugin designed for SEO. I don’t like so much this solutions and I have very doubts. But they continue using it and they continue to sell.
About SEO as an online PR – Why you say only newspapers? I don’t have so much experience in this sector of SEO but if I imagine to get outbound links I think on forums, blogs, sites, social…

Now why don’t I agree on your last “reason?” Probably because SEO is not online PR?
Online PR needs SEO to succeed. Show me an SEO agency that overlaps SEO. Linky please :)
