Do you feel like too many people get addicted to SEO, so much so that they don't even bother building a worthwhile site? I see it all the time, and then they wonder why they aren't making any money. When are people going to learn and actually make sites that are worthwhile?

  • Couldn't care less what other people do and neither should you unless it has a direct correlation to YOUR business.

    How does worrying bout what other people "feel" have any bearing on your own business.

    • I care because people get involved in programs that are supposed to rack in big money through a simple seo scheme, and they don't realize there is more to it than SEO.

  • Maybe they just want some fast cash.
    They think if they put some articles on site and adsense, a lot of link, they will get a lot of traffic and a lot of money, but of course it's wrong.
  • If they are focusing on the wrong things, they won't wind up making much, or any, money. They'll then be forced to re-evaluate their plan and examine what isn't working. So I'd think it'd be a lesson unto itself. They'll either learn or give up.
  • Perhaps the Interweb will be full soon?

    • Yes, build an awesome site that people love. Get that right, and you will not even care about seo, as you will be too busy counting money.

    • I always start with a 500 word informative article. The information is key to keeping the customers. From there, I run my site through I Business Promoter and tweek the wording for SEO. The program is not cheap, but definitely worth it. From there, I build links and rise to the top of search engine rankings.

      The simple process of combining user friendliness, quality information and SEO works every time.
  • All you can do is show them the way. If they are dumb enough to ignore obviously important things like quality then I guess it makes less competition for the rest of us
  • What is the point in making a website worthwhile when nobody can find it??? Its like sticking a shop down a dark allyway without any signs. You need a healthy balance between a good website and good SEO.
  • Putting all their effort into driving "traffic" to a website.

    When the real secret of success is to post excellent content. The best sites always get discovered.

  • I'm terrible at this, always having new ideas, setting up little sites for them, optimising them, then leaving them on the back burner.
    I must have 40 or 50 little 10 page websites scattered around with ideas I
    start with, but then move on to something else.
    The silly thing is, some of these rank really well for the initial idea, but I have lost interest by then and moved on to something else.

  • I can truly see your point. You may have the best, helpful, simple to use site, appealing to many. But if it can't be found...what good is it?

    • If the site is "appealing to many" then there is going to be a natural growth in links and traffic as a result.

  • Well, I'm still a newbie in SEO but I enhance my knowledge by keep on updating myself on participating in webmaster forums. I apply the effective strategy, observe and just stick on a process that makes your website valuable to search engines.
