SEO Gone Wild
Is too much SEO a bad thing? Many webmasters spend hours upon hours of worrying and refining their SEO techniques that help them in serps—search engine result pages. Although this mentality is good to have and can help you list higher within Google it can be overdone.
This is what I like to call SEO gone wild. Where the content of the website no longer caters to the reader but caters to search engines purely. A search engine algorithm is a computer program that solves a problem intuitively. The problem solved within search engines is which website is more relevant based on other websites within the niche keyword used.
The problem with any algorithm is it has no human ai — artificial intelligence. A good case in point is algorithms inability to distinguish words that are spelled the same but have different meanings. Although this is just restricted to certain words within the English language it is a basis to prove that an algorithm does not have the ability to think like the human mind thinks.
Another good example of this would be algorithms have the inability to detect quality content. Although website X might have followed seo techniques to the letter and lists higher, website Y might have extremely great content for their readers that far exceeds website X but lists lower. When this occurs usually what I do is paraphrase the word differently to get a set of results that are more relevant and user friendly or search deeper within the result pages.
So do you think too much seo or seo gone wild negatively affects top search result pages? Do you find yourself searching deeper in Google result pages more often than not to find relevant content? I would love to hear your opinion on this.
Too much SEO is a bad thing and can make your visitors feel like they are reading an search engine algorithm instead of a quality website. Imagine if every website on the internet practiced the same seo techniques?…I wonder which one would list higher for different search terms?
The bottom line is if you don’t concentrate on your visitor’s interests then you’re really missing the whole point of owning a website. If you buy into the whole seo gone wild then you might get a lot of one time visitors but over the long haul websites with quality content will beat you out.
