SEO will never die.

According to various "experts" in the industry SEO is DEAD in the general sense of things. They've proven time and time again that it is all about Links. You can SEO all you want, if someone else gets the right links you may have to opt for second best. So, what happens when you combine both?

VEO

"Edward, what is it that you do?"
"Well, I do Visitor Engagement Optimization."
"What the heck is that?"
"It's a combination of the various disciplines under the Search Engine Marketing umbrella."

Ya, that's what I do these day, engage the visitor in some form. And who is that visitor? Could be organic, could be a machine. Both are going to interpret my page at face value. One is going to take the face value and add other things to the equation. I'm sure you can figure out which of the two that might be. :)

SEO is DEAD

Yup, time to close up all those SEO Sweatshops. < That message won't be heard until sometime around 2012-12-21.
