SEO Dooms Day


World Wide Web is certainly growing each day with hundreds of thousands of pages being added everyday. Inevitably search engines like google, yahoo, bing etc. becomes more important to us in searching through billions of files. To some extent, the effectiveness of the search engines depends on the SEOs (Search Engine Optimizer) operating all over the world.

Let me elaborate about this in detail. Lets say you want to find the official website of a particular hotel. You do a search in google using the name of the hotel and it returns the search results in an orderly fashion. What if the official site of that hotel is not on the first page. Obviously it should be the first result. Instead it is on the 3rd page. Is this what you expect from a search engine. What is the cause? SEOs have influenced search engines in a such a way that we are the puppeteers of search engines. This is possible because the search algorithms use are not intelligent. If the search engines acts rationally it would have listed the official hotel site first in the search results.

Its a matter of time until someone comes up with an intelligent search algorithm which will wipe out search engine optimization industry forever. I hope it want be in my life time.

I don't think there will be a doomsday for SEO. As long as search engines like Google dominate the game, we are all just players, playing differently. I hope the merger of Yahoo & Bing will have some effect on giant Google. Visit http://seolk.wordpress.com for full story.
