I agree with what was said in that link, people seem to dwell on seo and forget there is more to marketing than just seo.

Concentrating on one way to get sales is not a good plan, just as using one sponsor is not a good idea. Diversification and multiple methods is best.

I have been saying this for a while, nice to see I was not wrong.

For those that do not know the full meaning of SEO, then yes this article is correct.
What is SEO? At its core, the meaning of search engine optimization (SEO) is increasing your website’s visibility in the organic search results of major search engines.

It’s fair to say that SEO is complex and constantly changing

Since when does SEO NOT include
Brand Management
Social Media
Digital Advertising And Pay Per Click
Content Marketing

To get that visibility, you must understand three core components:

What types of content search engine users and your customers want or need.
How search engines work to discover, index, and serve content in search engine results pages.
How to properly promote and optimize your website to tell search engines more about it.


Seems like the author of the above mentioned article forgot the three core components of SEO, from this same site.

So how do you develop an SEO strategy to dominate your competition in Google and other search engines?

Because, ultimately, SEO isn’t only about being found on search engines and driving traffic to your website. It’s about providing a great experience and generating leads and revenue!

No one knows wtf they are doing when they claim to be an seo expert, this is what I have realized after hiring 5 people over the years.

There is no such thing as an SEO Expert.
They may as well say they are Jedi Knights. (From the movie series Star Wars.)

First, define SEO Expert.

Expert is defined as “a person who has a comprehensive and authoritative knowledge of or skill in a particular area”. There is no such thing. It’s not possible for someone to be an SEO expert. Experts don’t guess at things. Experts have definitive knowledge.
Due to the cons and fluidity and rapid changes in the algorithms not even the algorithm creators can explain or share definitive knowledge of SEO.
Remember the old cliche? Just when I figured all the answers, they changed the questions.

It’s not possible to have “authoritative” knowledge about Google. No SEOs work there, and no Google employees even know enough to share how anything works. That is the Google way. They clearly share very little about how the engine works. Most SEO knowledge is gained by trial and error, and whatever you believe from Google’s red herring spokesmen and SEO industry talking heads.

“SEO Professionals” are the guys you want to work with. “A person engaged in a specified activity as one’s main paid occupation rather than as a pastime.”

I never really understood someone calling themselves an SEO expert.

Imagine if you were playing a game against someone. The person you’re competing against doesn’t tell you the rules of the game. You have to guess. The person you’re competing against changes the rules anytime they want in their favour. You have to guess at the new rules. The person you’re competing against applies the rules differently to different players on the field. The person kicks you out of the game for breaking the rules that you don’t even know.
That person is Google.
The game is SEO.

Make my site worth the time for the surfer to stay on not what Google wants

FUNNY!

How is the surfer going to find your site, if the site is NOT what Google wants?

Can you NOT do both?
