Default Do you think SEO is a con


Touring the conversations around various webmaster and business forums, it's pretty apparent that a lot of people think SEO=snake oil, and that it's mostly a big con.

While there are definitely a lot of bad apples in the cart - sharks will jump in wherever they can to make money - as someone whose business livelihood has depended on SEO success for the past few years, I find it an odd attitude.

This is especially when people start trying to understand SEO and talk about focusing only on content, and not really trying for links.

Does anyone here have any particularly negative ideas about SEO that they would like to share

SEO itself is legitimate, but there are people out there who overcharge for their services and make promises they can't keep.

As with everything else, you need to do your research and comparison shopping, Personally, I think niche marketing is more effective.

SEO is a con in a sense you can make a highlevel SEO site with a high pr but really is a step above gibberish. This is a proven fact with SEO. A common complaint is people click on a link that produces a unless page ladened with ads. Thats SEO at work.
