The Future of SEO
As the search engines change in an attempt to improve their search results, the way we need to optimize our web pages changes too.
Here are some predictions on the future of SEO from an article by Glenn Murray, of www.DivineWrite.com that was published recently in Site Pro News
one-way text links from relevant pages continue to be the most valuable links
reciprocal linking continue to decline
the ’shotgun’ approach to link buying declines
mass email link requests decline
frëe directory submission declines
niche directory submission increases
article PR (article submission) increases
article submission sites (e.g. EzineArticles, GoArticles, and ArticleBlast play a much bïgger and more important role in helping online publishers locate quality articles (due to the increasing article volume)
user popularity is just as important as link popularity, which means:
the quality of article PR improves in order to increase site traffïc, credibility, and loyalty the quality of website content improves in order to convert traffïc and encourage repeat visits.
