Search Engine Optimization

SEO industry is big. There are news portals dedicated to search engines. There are thousands of companies that offer SEO, link building, social media promotion, etc. In this article I would like to talk about blogs and about SEO content.

Industry is obsessed with Google gods. All the blogs recycle the same thing, thousands of times, adding more duplicate ideas to the internet (I am guilty as well). It is hard to find real communities where the real expert sit and crack the Google box, without the regard for Google itself. What happened is, Google set out SEO standards for entire industry, and bloggers have just extrapolated on what Google told them.

Everyday thousands of articles are added that add nothing to the web, followed by 10 comments saying how useful the blog was, and how much people liked it. How about some real talk and opinions outside of the accepted norms? It seems like the SEO field has become like politics. If you dare to say that the government could sacrifice its people for political reasons (or money, which are the same), you instantly labeled as a nut. If you dare to go against Google approved ways of SEO, you’re out outside of the approved good-SEO norms.

There are few blogs that talk about real stuff that works, but the real discussions by real professionals are either hidden in private forums, or don’t take place at all. Where’s the turf? The stuff that is not necessarily God approved? What small biz owners don’t realize is the big brands buy links, spam the web and do other things, all the while small biz sites are fed a lot of well intended BS!

Anyway, those are just my thoughts on the subject. There’s more to say, but this isn’t the right place.
