sorry matt, but with no backlinks you don’t get rankings.
Thus, Google is still doing a bad job at defining who has the most quality content.
And we still need to be building backlinks the boring, long hard way.
Hope you will start picking up on User Behavior analytics where people behavior on a website and how long they stay on it will be a major factor of search engine rankings.

This is the *only* course you will ever need on traffic. And it gets my highest recommendation. P.S. STOP. You owe it to yourself to watch this video. There’s a reason it’s taken over all the forums, twitter, facebook etc… It works. It’s making people money. And they LOVE it:

I was making myself this question last year, my self answer was “leave it and run 100% into your IT career” and in the middle of quitting, instinctly boosted it up after a nice Sunday walk… Happy I did so, market is tending to value SEO professionals as a helping hand in this nowadays crisis times.
Nice to hear Matt commenting on this

SEO will absolutely exist in five years. As long as there are search engines and ranking of results there will be people who want to be ranked at the top.
There are so many pages out there that don’t get the basics right that I could work for an eternity and not finish optimizing them all.

Content Marketing will certainly always exist and should, but search engine Artificial Intelligence will continue to evolve. My only hope is that external factors like money does not affect the natural selection of these results. Go TheMusicAge to see another way of using user generated content in context of a Social Network. Google “TheMusicAge”.

Content is very important and often forgotten with company sites. Many businesses fail each year online because they forgot about the importance of content on a website. Custom SEO articles provide many benefits for businesses.

If I hear you talking I would almost say we dont need SEO experts in the future…

Good ideas. But be careful with spammers with links in blogs. In Spain, they are destroying all organic beauty. Cheers.

I’m not interested in black/crap/gray hat, but I am interested in doing SEO for anyone that wants it done with white hat professionalism. It is good to see that Google is on the side of the good guys and rewards them with high organic rankings.
