Is SEO over-rated?

Posted on 14 April 2006 by Lord Brar

While doing my daily round of reading I came across this thread on SPF if Search Engine Optimisation is Over-rated?

Obsession of anything is bad! Same goes for SEO. I, for one, always make sure that all of my sites are SEO friendly and follow the best practices as advised by Aaron in his excellent SEO book.

Other than this I don’t do any specific SEO stuff. I never track my keyword rankings. I am not obsessed with getting links — if people like my stuff, they will link to it, otherwise I rely more on conventional marketing and advertising tactics. I don’t lose sleep when Google is dancing and neither I keep track of PR updates or algo updates.

And, I would advise that you also don’t lose sleep over why your site is not ranking. Just follow Aaron’s advice and you’d do well. Even though that’s an affiliate links but honestly, I am all bonks over his stuff and truly recommend it.

This is a viral video from Youtube that is getting a lot of attention.

I will let the author set the scene:

It was back in Oct 2005.

My wedding was about a month to go and I decided to make a memorable event for my future wife. But, I and she were working and due to preparation of wedding, I didn’t have enough budgets for expensive proposal. While I was considering for the event, I remembered what she said in the past. “Wow it would be great if I can get a chance to go in the room with full of yellow post it just like Sang Sang Plus” (Sang Sang Plus is one of the famous talk show (TV program) in Korea and they prepare a room with full of yellow post it - questions from fans to famous celebrity)

I wrote all the happy memories that I had with my wife in 5,940 post it. It took me 4 days & 5 nights to write everything and post it in the bathroom. (I tried main living room first, but, due to surface of wallpaper, I had to change the place) Once we back from honeymoon, we took all the post it off and kept it in the box until now.
