Why people thinking SEO is dead? Is SEO Dead or Getting Ignored?

I have read many places that don’t optimize your website for search engine and they also guide us to make the website only user-friendly. Firstly as SEO marketers I don’t believe that optimizing website for search engine isn’t a good practice. I am not going to give any spam practice at all but like to make you understand that search engine algorithm is quite different from real users. A website is not equally clear in front of search engine as it in among humans.  I personally believe that only failures have such issues and they shouting like SEO is dead, SEO has no more scope, Links value has finished. While I search for SEO is dead I found there are major websites has explained that SEO is not dead but they did not focus what factors generate such question.

Life is the name of changing so why suppose the traditional SEO marketing still useful. Stop blaming SEO and analysis your practice with SEO checklist of 2014 and assume where you are lacking. Recently, Jayson DeMers also shared a post on Forbes and cleared that content, links and social media will remain three major pillars of online marketing in 2014. While people sound like SEO is dead I feel competition is dead because SEO isn’t just about making your website more search engine friendly but it’s about online marketing for your services or products that you serves.  Let’s check what recent activities happened by Google, and people start to hear “SEO dead”?

Activity – In recent years there are many products has been modified in functions like Google analytics, webmaster and also Google keywords tool replace by Google keywords planner.  The broad search result is now finished and by default only exact match keywords search is producing by Google.  It also generates questions isn’t it another tactic to demoralize SEO?

Solutions – Google still a major source for keywords selection process with Google trends, the Google keywords planner but now keywords selection has become a more Curial task for marketers so they are also used alternate keywords tools like Bing keywords tool, Moz’s keywords difficulty tool, word tracker etc. Targeting three to four keywords with a page still a good practice for SEO but be natural avoid keywords stuffing.
