A couple weeks ago, Bill Slawski posted on Twitter asking if SEO writing is dead.
Bill Slawski has been in the SEO industry since the 90s, before even me. 🙂 He writes some of the most detailed and technical SEO posts out there, more than almost anyone I know, on his blog SEO By The Sea.
So for him to see shallow SEO posts out there, either on sites like this (okay, nail me in the comments) or others, it can be upsetting.
Here is Bill’s tweet:
Now, most people say there is still value in SEO blogging and writing but there is no doubt, there is a ton of bad stuff out there.
Bill doesn’t think I am the source of that bad stuff, thankfully:
But I admit, I am sure some of the content I produce, or a lot of it, can be done better.
Anyway, Kim from Cre8asite Forums expanded on Bill’s tweet saying:
Content in general is an issue on the web. There is just so much of it, and we can blame or thank Google for that.
That being said, I am not sure if this is an SEO specific issue or just a general issue with the web in any industry.
I started this site well before there were SEO blogs out there. There were many a handful of them. Now there is a new one every week.
So I ask you, anonymously, should SEO bloggers go away:
