The Very Complex SEO List - For Beginners & Pros

[morestar]

If you're lucky enough to happen across this post, you'll like this article dealing with the Increasing Complexity and Volume of SEO Tasks.

The writer Everett Sizemore, touches on virtually every aspect of SEO, new, old, what works and what doesn't anymore. It's a massive article of which I haven't finished reading yet but I'm thoroughly enjoying it.

It's also interesting how he seems to believe that SEO has evolved so much that they're not SEOs anymore, but are Internet marketers. I definitely concur.

I think I'm going to take a lot of his list and make my own file to refer to.

Either way enjoy and enjoy your weekend!

We talked about his post a few weeks ago on the podcast. It's a good starter article, but it never seems to go in to much detail about any one topic. It just introduces the problem and then moves on to the next one.

What it does do is serve as a great starting point for a series of very in depth posts about each subject.

I agree. I also think these articles are mainly written to give the writers something to write about. To me it's just more of the same but spun to look new. Trustworthy SEO pros (as apposed to the fly-by-night, pump and dump crown that uses a hammer for every problem regardless of the long term consequences to their client) have always pretty much done what the article alludes to - which is taking a long term wholistic approach to their client marketing goals. I guess it's good to break it down every now and then, but almost no one has a budget big enough to actually implement all this stuff. For most businesses some great content, backed up by relevant links and unique keyword rich title tags and meta descriptions, is plenty good to achieve their goals - and all they really have the time and budget for anyway. The formula for success has always been to create something useful, describe it well so people and search engines can identify it, and then get people talking about it. That's about 95% of the battle.

Wow! A long article indeed. The spelling mistake "delimma" was no doubt included as a way of checking whether people had read the whole thing, or were just bluffing.
