Will SEO die?

SEO is not dying.

SEO will only die if the search engine dies. As long as search engines exist, individuals can find out how search engines operate and get business out of them. The fact that SEO is shifting as rapidly as any vertical, does not imply that it is on the way out. Does that mean that SEO is going to keep getting more complicated? Maybe. Does it mean that it's going to die? No, never.

There will be search engine optimization as long as there are search engines. SEO is about knowing how these search engines get their data and what can be done to receive free traffic from them. SEOs understand the search process and search marketers in general, tap into the process to draw visitors. Search engines want marketers to recognize SEO best practices and implement them because it makes it more efficient for search engines.

SEO won't die. Search engines won't let that happen.

If we were to believe the pundits who predicted SEO's death, SEO would've actually died multiple times. As far back as 2010, SEJ already published this post: Despite the News, SEO is Not Dead. The message couldn't get any clearer than that.

 

My personal opinion is that SEO probably won't die, I think even if Google replaces everything with ads (it's looking that it's going to move in that direction in future) because people will jump ship.

 

it's not dead at all, it might be more challenging than it used to be

 

I think it's not possible for SEO to die, I believe it simply getting more and more complex

 

Do you want SEO dead?

 

SEO should better live I think. Long Live! Lots of people make their living from it.

 

Search Engine algorithms are changing constantly in order to provide users with better SERP.
As result SEO is changing constantly and therefore will remain alive for a long time.

 

Every few years a few, voices from distant corners of the marketing world whisper that SEO is dying. But with an estimated value of over $70 billion dollars, SEO isn't going anywhere soon. Even though the whispers are generally false, they do hold kernels of truth.

 

So is it dying or not then?

It's been dead for a while now. Every site should have the right meta tags, keywords, h tags. It goes without saying. The truth is great content and providing value to your visitors is what will put your site on the 1st page of Google and other search engines. If one's site is crap having 100 quality backlinks is not going to change a thing. If one's site is crap, having long-tail keywords is not going to change a thing. Etc. It's all common sense, sadly SEO gurus are missing it for some reason.

 

In 2001 or earlier, when Yahoo search was still popular, the height of SEO technique was to purchase and use keyword phrase domain names, forwarding them to your main domain:

• left-handed-widgets.tld
• right-handed-widgets.tld
• great-big-widgets.tld

And so on. But that waned in effectiveness. SEO didn't die, just had to adapt. It's still happening today.

SEO lives as long as the search engines do.

 

SEO tactics ad strategies more often change but Who knows the future well? Not die but changing, involving widely.

 

I don't this is going to happen. There are some reasons behind this like:

- People still believe in organic result
- Searcher want to see both organic and paid links
- Now a days seo is becoming more toward ui/ux so some time it will like this
- Search engine is made of real search with comes from seo

 

I think it's not possible for SEO to die

 

SEO is not dying as long as search engines are there. But yes, SEO is growing rapidly and getting complex with the consistent launch of algorithms by Google.

 

As long as search engines and sites live, SEO also lives. Therefore, SEO is fine, but not in the same form as 10 years ago.

 

My 17-year-old website receives about 50K visitors a month. It contains about 500 informational articles in a field in which I can modestly say I have recognized expertise. The content is, I think, a strong point.

That said, I can certify from many analytical signals that those numbers are not just attributable to the good content, but are absolutely boosted by a 17-year effort at broad-based, white-hat SEO.

 

Hi @Jim4767 sir, Thank you for sharing your input. I really like that you are doing SEO since 17 years or so. Looking forward to learn from you.
