What is the future of SEO? Can you still make money in the field or is it just white label companies and over-saturation of competition making it a bad way to go? I am very interested in starting my own agency but am wondering if it would be financially worth it. What do you all think? I am new to the forum. Nice to be here.

    You'll never make any money in any field posting about it in online forums.

    What do you know about SEO? Where are your own sites ranking? What kind of benefits can YOU deliver to potential clients down the road? Would you pay for those benefits?

    Let's start there

    SEO is really a big issue. There are a lot of issues are related to SEO. The techniques of SEO are always changing. It is not a permanent issue.
    Some SEO techniques are working now but these may not work in future.
    So you have to update yourself with the search engines especially Google.
    You have to know the main goal of SEO. If you have a perfect knowledge you can always do something in this field.
    SEO is still working and I think it will work in future and you have a good chance to make enough money from this field. But you must reach that top level.
    Thanks, Munna Hossain, Mytechgoal.

    For what its worth, here is my two cents: Use SEO to give something away, instead of trying to sell anything.... get people on a mailing list. SEO traffic is good... but your mailing list is your OWN traffic. What have I learned from selling online? It is this above all: "Your Own" traffic is the best. It is what sells. It is what creates a buzz and makes the rest of the random traffic sell. So, again, don't think of your SEO results as "site traffic".... Think of it in terms of "Opt Ins". And use your platform (Email Newsletter) to sell SEO to people... whoever your target is... through that newsletter. You will have living proof and built in respect from your followers as an authority, because , how did you get them in the first place? Through SEO! Use it to build a mailing list. That is the long and short. If you attracted them through online marketing, then you are already an authority to them, and they will buy SEO from you. Don't count on searchers as buyers... turn them into followers, then count on your "followers" as buyers. It snowballs after that. That's my best advice for starting an SEO agency, or any other, through online marketing.


    Your biggest selling point is your own example, and I would use it to sell people on the idea of creating email funnels through SEO.

    Hope this brings at least more perspective.

  • There is still money in SEO, you just need to know how to start with your business. I also suggest you target niche websites. What you also need is to prove your credibility with your clients. Practice good SEO, and help clients bring good traffic conversions.

    Is the process of improving the visibility of a mobile app (such as an iPhone, iPad, Android, BlackBerry or Windows Phone app) in an app store.

    Just like search engine optimization (SEO) is for websites, app store optimization is for mobile apps. Specifically, app store optimization includes the process of ranking highly in an app store's search results and top charts rankings
    • Being found more easily by users on the app stores, due to the fact that App Store Search is the No. 1 source for people to discover new applications
    • Rank higher compared to competitors
    • Rank higher for specific keywords
    • Rank higher in Google´s semantic search through relevant backlinking
    • Create appealing graphics




    Many app marketers attempt to perform ASO in a way that most app stores would approve of and accept.

    This is called "white hat" ASO and publicly covered by presentations, conferences.

    Developers also use different platforms available to get their peers to rate their apps for them which provides great feedback.

    Some app marketers, however, engage in what many call "black hat" ASO and are practices which the app stores do not condone

    Since on-page SEO is no taboo, the future of SEO is in he off-page SEO. That means quality back-links and posting high quality content about your website on other relevant websites, with other methods which will raise the clients website domain authority.
