Fact is, I have use social mediums for more constant communication that e-mail. I work with site that allow me to stay abreast of friend status while keeping them abreast of mine. Funny part is, everyone use to spend time just checking their e-mail. Now people use their email for business and just check their friend status.

Wish you the best.

Seo things’s last blog post..Importance of Quality Link Building

You can’t blame SEO if you haven’t seen any result from it. I have strengthened 4 company’s financial standing with just SEO. However, these businesses were international business type, both B2B and B2C. So, SEO was the best marketing option for them. But, if it’s a local business with traffic less than 50 per month, then it’s a small nail that can’t be nailed with a big hammer. Hammer is always useful, but you need the right hammer for the right nail.

You are saying that SEO is dishonest. But, even Google’s Matt Cutts admitted that SEO is not bad. And sorry that you had to see the dishonest part of it. Actually, there are many roughs that are polluting our white hat marketing reputation. Always remember that, there is no secret sauce, quick solutions or shortcut in white hat SEO. When you go the hard way, you make investment that will last longer. If anyone showed you any shortcut and said that, this is SEO, can you please shoot that guy from my behalf?

Only the relative infancy of the internet makes it possible for such nonsense to make claims of respectability.
I wouldn’t be so dramatic as to use the word prophesy, but I predict that the internet will eventually give some people the drivel they want in the form they want it, packaged and presented, hopefully, by relatively intelligent machines as opposed to dishonest SEOs and alow the others to access useful information, probably from friends and colleagues as it did before the great unwashed took the internet over. Then everybody will be happy.

Thanks for the time to write a long comment and also for the passionate support in the language.

I have given my prophecies a second thought whether it is 13 or 11 prophecies. I have gone through all of these but understand that I have 12 prophecies. i.e. Prophecy # 13 (Future Internet Marketers will be Personal Helper) should actually belong to the Prophecy # 11 (Web-based Consumer Analytics will be Major Internet Marketing Process). So, I need another prophecy to make it 13.

So here is the new prophecy:

Prophecy # 13 : The Broadcasting Media will Merge with the Internet

Broadcasting Media or Television we know today is going to merge with the internet. They will also count hits, not downlinks when the convergence happens. The mobile devices are steadily being modified to receive television signals. Since the handhelds will have both television & internet facility, the broadcasting media will upgrade themselves to offer hybrid services that is more cost effective for the users. Moreover, this will remove the time barrier (i.e. the limitation to watch your favorite program in their specified time). So, we will have the flexibility to watch streaming videos from the internet. It will also remove the place barrier by allowing us to see our favorite program anywhere.

The advertisers will have the flexibility to see when, how long, which demographic niches are watching their ads. This will also help the advertisers to choose the programs they think are perfect for advertizing. Will this be the Web 3.0 era? I am not sure. But, the Internet Marketers will experience a shift from text-based web to the video-based Web era. Google has already started to provide video ads as AdWords. So, the future is very near.

Thanks for the compliments. I really appreciate your time for going through the article.

@ Richard Burckhardt (The Web Optimist) for his blog in Search Engine Journal
Link: http://www.searchenginejournal.com/false-prophecy-onsite-seo-will-be-h istory/7092/

I believe my first prophecy is the most debated and criticized. And making it the first prophecy is part of the game to attract more traffic by letting people carry on with the debates and spread it virally. Which I believe, has worked in some way. But, all prophecies are not meant to be accurate. Prophecies are vision of a person. I’ve accepted it and would be glad if you accept it as well

However, I’d like to shed some light on my visions on this. The reason I think Onsite SEO will parish is:

• Onsite SEO is a thing you have control on and you can manipulate the Search Engines to favor you by changing codes. The guesstimated stat of about 90% sites are not optimized for search engines, is true. Again the websphere is growing at a geographical rate. If all sites can easily make their site search engine friendly through nice & free plugins or addons available now-a-days, then think about the disaster that will happen in Search Engine Result Pages (SERPs). Search Engine will eventually get away from the manipulation that you can do on your site. Their move to count incoming links has actually pushed us a bit away from Onsite SEO. Moreover, counting the age of the site has also tied our hands. You never know in future, they will push you further to a stage when you will have no control on your site.

• Most of the search engines generate revenue from advertisement. I also believe that Googleopoly will not be there forever (another prophecy! . When the competition in the search engines becomes intense in future, search engines will find ways to tie the hands of the Search Engine Optimizers and drive these people to PPC.

• Search engines will become inter-platform friendly and equally favor sites that are built in Flash, Java, PHP, etc. To do that they might think out of the box and think of any algorithm that is independent of any codes. So, there is extreme probability that something like Visual Algorithm may come in that doesn’t care what are the codes, but cares about what it looks like and says visually (I said maybe . I had an interesting discussion going on in LinkedIn Answers on Visual Algorithm, please have a look at the discussion:
http://www.linkedin.com/answers/marketing-sales/advertising-promotion/ internet-marketing/MAR_ADP_INM/251092-16597556

I also believe that onsite SEO will not go away that easily. However, before dieing we may experience many changes in internet marketing regarding onsite SEO, such as

• If we look back at history, we needed only one webmaster for all the marketing. But, now-a-days, you can find a lot of people working for a site. e.g. Copywriter, SEO, Designer, Web Developers, etc. We never know this very Onsite SEO might change according to platform. We may as well see separate SEO for PHP, Flash, Java, etc.

• Visual Algorithms can eliminate the need for code-based marketing of sites. Only the designed outlook will count. If it is implemented, then keyword density, Bold texts, H1 would still have lives.

• There might be a situation when people will not need text anymore. The definition of web content is changing. Now, web components like flash, image, audio, video, etc. are also being defined as contents. There are chances that we will not stay in the text-based Web 1.0 era. If texts are not the center of any attraction, then why would the internet marketers need SEO anyway? And I am quite afraid that text-based Web 1.0 will die sooner than expected.
