All the craze right now is Web3 or Web 3.0, the new iteration of the World Wide Web based on the blockchain, which incorporates concepts including decentralization and token-based economics. And some are concerned it will kill SEO, that Web 3.0 will be the final nail in the coffin for SEO.

Well, it won’t. Don’t believe me, ask Google’s John Mueller who also said no, it won’t on Reddit. Don’t trust John? Go look at the other comments on that thread, mostly all saying it is fear mongering…

The question posed in the thread was “Will web 3.0 kill the SEO? Just a fear of mine that soon I’ll be jobless.”

The response from John Mueller was a simple “no.” But here are some of the other responses:

There was a story from Bloomberg yesterday named Facebook and Google’s Ad Addiction Can’t Last Forever Facebook and Google are the least diversified of the tech giants, relying on ads for 98% and 81% of revenue, respectively, hinting at potential future issues. “Technologists, for one, are also talking about a radical shift to Web3, where large online platforms will be replaced by systems underpinned by blockchain, a move that would require rethinking the companies’ revenue model. Regulators, meanwhile, are targeting Google and Facebook’s dominance of the digital ad space; and young people’s gravitation to gaming, messaging and TikTok has already threatened Facebook’s all-important engagement metrics with advertisers.”

There are more responses – but it seems like we are all safe, for now – at least until Web 4.0…
