If you build it, they will come. If you SEO it, they will come, and be bored to tears. ;-)

That’s not exactly fair though as the “SEO’d” sites that bore people to tears are not much better than MFA (Made For Adsense) sites, peoples’ goals being misplaced.

At the same time, the “SEO’d” sites seem to be done by people doing maybe the right things for the wrong reasons and ending up leaving the visitor to their site totally out of the equation.

Even though one reads in blog after blog and webmasters forum after webmasters forum that one should build a site for humans, most people seem more interested in short term results and end up not realizing the no SEO can actually be good SEO.

Also, sometimes that hardest thing one can do to try to improve a given situation is, nothing.

I guess good SEO would be just following the guidelines laid down by the search engines and avoid indulging in black hat SEO techniques. Also important is to have patience to yield SEO results.

I think that you are so close it’s scarry… Good SEO is building for the user, the engines will find it and, more importantly, you will stay at the top! (because you deserve it)

After a few years of chasing links and listening to the “experts” it has become clear to me the key is to write.

Taking the time to write a quality essay verus a 3-500 word piece of crap is the key to longterm success.

What came first content or the link? No doubt in my mind that many links in the future will be devalued, but how can you devalue quality content?

Well, smart SEO is invisible, as much as smart usability or marketing is. Everything just works when everything is done properly. That's the point, Ahmed. Providing value is the key.

Hmmm…

I think the real problem here is ‘thinking too much’ about SEO.

Create something remarkable and authentic, and it will get links.

Create something that’s in demand, and you’ll be doing SEO.

Do both, and you’re in business.
