The Death and Rebirth of SEO

Brought to you by The Social Business

From 1999-2008, the practice of SEO stayed remarkably consistent. Research keywords. Create content. Build links. Rinse. Repeat. But online communities changed. Google changed. Searchers changed. And now, it's a whole new ballgame. A lot of what SEO was is dying, but something new is being reborn in its place, and those who will win the web tomorrow are following a different path than those who came before.
