SEO Future
I don't think that there will not be the need for SEO. I want to believe that we need to adjust with new facts and move to new strategies
Google and SEO
I, too, am amazed that quality content, great product- made in the U.S.A.- and true value for your dollar just aren't going to cut it alongside 140 character comments. We make high quality, custom jewelry that we design ourselves. We give our customers so much more than they would get from a retail store. And, now I am told that what someone tweets about going to the grocery store for a loaf of bread is going to be more important than my well thought out article giving tips for selecting an engagement ring- real information- not just some ad that says come to my custom jewelry design studio- Well, if so, then lots of people will miss the opportunity to meet a real jewelry designer and have a great piece of jewelry designed and created at a fair price.
SEO, A business on its own
SEO started mainly by trying to get search results on top in google and in trying to do so, SEO has become a big business on its own now. Today SEO is all around the world in forms of tools, strategies, conferences, etc all trying to make money. As long as search will continue on the web, SEO will be there, whether its on google or any other search engines or social media sites which are used as much as google.

I don't know if anyone else has noticed, but the results Google gives are becoming more and more irrelevant to the search terms used.
If I search for 'Septic tanks', I don't want news results, local government sites, images, etc. and I certainly won't want any results for the rubbish tweeted on Twitter!!
Google has lost the plot.
Why bother with what Twitter says?
I cannot imagine why any serious search engine would bother about the results from Twitter. Most of them are mindless comments about nothing by people who don't have enough to do.
If the Aliens' first contact with us was via Twitter, they would be certain that there were no intelligent life forms on Earth.
Bing is Better
I agree and have given up on Google searches. I use Bing now and find the results are much more relevant.
What is the attraction of Twitter anyway? Most of it is rubbish.
Twitter is for Twits
What garbage Twitter is!! If I ever feel like commiting suicide I think I will go on Twitter first just to get the final incentive.
The all powerful Google
The problem with Google is that the company is owned by shareholders, and over time, those shareholders will do with Google what corporate shareholders have always done with companies.
Google is becoming too powerful, and one day the people who founded Google will no longer control or run the company and it will be owned by and controlled by shareholders and executives who's one and only motto is "make more money for me at any cost" as we saw happen with newspapers over the past thirty years.
Those shareholders and their bean counters are no doubt already having a growing behind the scenes influence over the direction that Google is taking.
Google is nuckin' futs. I
Google is nuckin' futs. I don't want Google giving me altered results because it thinks it knows what I'm looking for. And the worst part of it all is that the vast majority of end users will never know Google is collecting their information or altering their results.
I'm switching to Bing.
Google: 2020
Be afraid. Be very afraid.
Bye, bye Google
I just hate it when someone tries to make decisions for me.
I hate it when Google gives me google.it when I'm in Italy, google.de when I'm in Germany and google.hr when I'm in Croatia.
And all I wanted was google.com.
Now they say they will see who my friends are, what kind of soup I prefer to eat, when do I go to toilet and serve me the search results based on that.
Great.
So they think they know what I want better than I do?
Who do they think they are? God?
***
I hope some new Google will be created based on ORIGINAL GOOGLE'S PRINCIPLES.
I'm waiting for a worthy opponent to Google.
It's time for a change.
Remember: it was US who made Google great.
They better listen to what we have to say. Or bye, bye Google.
Google should stay independent
I absolutely don't like all this stuff Google's working on. I believe they should give independent search results. I want to stay in control of the audience I want to reach, don't want Google to do that for me...
How about just "Site Optimization"...
... so that it works a good as possible on all fronts -- search engine performance as well as visitor experience & conversion, social media integration, mobile viewing, accessibility, etc...
If we get too focused on only one of these aspects, it's so easy to loose site of the rest and all are important.
No company can keep that
No company can keep that kind of info "safe" if tha ruling government want it. Any company that believes it can is arrogant beyond belief.
Don't forget that info won't just contain details of US citizens but details of people all over the world.. And add to that the the US Government has a phrase that can get it anything it desires... "war on terror" ring any bells?
