Before we start, let me say, there will be no technical talk and no boring stuff, what I want to discuss won’t give you tips on how to optimize your site and nor will it make promises of front page exposure in Google. What I want to discuss today will just entertain the technical boffins and tickle the technophobes.
Firstly, I will not be describing what Search Engine Optimization, or SEO, is. If you are interested jump over to our “Get Great Google Results in One Year“ page to read up.
SEO has been around for a few years now, longer than most sites have even lived on the internet, and all of them have some level of SEO applied to them. Most sites have their code tuned up at least once or twice a year. So what is going to happen when all of the sites on the internet are SEO-ed?
Imagine it, you are trying to optimize your site, a site that has been optimized many many times, and you can’t squeeze any more optimization-ness into it. So what do you do? You would have to invent some kind of SUPER-SEO to get a leg up on the regular SEO-ed sites on the internet, and only one site can be at the top of Google. So what that means is NONE of the sites on the internet are effectively SEO-ed and you start again from before SEO existed!
So you find yourself inventing a new industry, Super-SEO and you make a billion-trillion dollars. And eventually SUPER-SEO catches on that all sites eventually become SUPER-SEO-ed and then, AGAIN, none of the sites have any SEO. So you need to invent SUPER-SUPER-SEO… and it can go on again, and again, and again until the ends of time.
I have always believed that SEO is great for now, but it is an idea that just can’t last forever. It’s a flash in the pan, internet FAD and it can’t last. And the next internet billionaires who already know this are busy at work inventing the next big internet optimization or marketing fad, I call it SUPER-SEO!
So if you want to make a billion-zillion dollars get out your protractors and start thinking… SUPER-SEO!
Have a nice day!
