SEO is Bullshit 29.04.09
…too many people spend too much time trying to get Number #1 rank on Google instead of focusing on improving themselves, their sites and their products
A very true quote from this post by Sam Brown called “Why I think SEO is Bullshit“, and he’s got it spot on! Clients seem prepared to compromise good, functional design for the sake of putting a massive H1 with a string of useless links – all in an attempt to get #1 in Google. Similarly, as per Sam’s article – they’re pinning their hopes on SEO, rather than spending time making their services actually worth talking about.
In support – it’s worth noting that I get almost ten thousand visits a month to both my blog and portfolio, but hardly anyone (seriously, it’s like 0.5%) arrives by searching Pete Usborne, or Digital Designer. SEO means nothing for a lot of people and companies, especially in an age where word-of (inter)mouth is of growing importance.
