Will Content become essential element of SEO practice?

[yogis]

It looks like to me. Content will become an essential and one of the most important aspect of SE's crawling. All other SEO techniques have been thwarted by Google. What remains ultimately are the designs (for looks) and content (for quality reading) that will make your site ranks amongst the best. Also time has come for we pro writers to get a tap on our writing skills. It will be all for good now on.

Anybody disagress?

Any sane person would agree with you Yogis unless he/she is from Uranus.

Yogis, I think content HAS been an essential part of most long-term SEO efforts. Brett created a classic post a few years ago titled something like "Succeeding in Google in 12 months" - good content creation was the key element in that strategy.

The real title was "Successful Site in 12 Months with Google Alone"

Er, yes. What's new?

It's been that way for years.
