Did you hear that, I am learning the ‘Outdated SEO’
Yup, I was trying to learn SEO recently. After the whole big blogs and websites who talks about the uses of SEO, I decided to check it out. I ran through the SEO expert quiz by SEOMoz. It was quiet interesting and I got 51% in it. So, I decided to learn SEO, not because it can make me money, not because it can give me traffic, because it is fun and I can get more points in another SEO quiz and can put a badge in my blog saying “Oh, this guy is the god of SEO”.
The problem is that SEO has almost went outdated. When I went from one SEO blog to another, most of them didn’t have any new content that adds to my knowledge. So I decided to check out their oldest posts and what I did was Google for any SEO tip mentioned in the article, so I can learn more. Almost all searches gave me an article saying the tip was outdated; does that mean Google hates SEO or the whole SEO industry is outdated? May be not, it may be because the tips are getting outdated -not the industry- due to fast spreading of information in the blogosphere.
In my search for “become SEO”, I found an interesting article from Webmaster World forum. It said that, to become an SEO, what I had to do was claim myself an SEO and don’t tell the clients what I am doing. If the website is good and gains rank in Search Engines organically, I will get the credit. If the opposite happens, ask the website owners to curse themself. The article was actually teasing the industry, in an intelligent way.
So, what i am going to do now is learn all the outdated SEO tricks, so I can get more points in another outdated ‘SEO quiz’.

I remember reading an article that explains that the foundation of internet money is in PPC, Affiliates, and Search Engine Marketing.
I have two SEO books, that I’m trying to master, but I’ve expanded my foundation. SEO is one step, but I tell you, this whole blog experience has turned me upside down.
I will be revamping my blog again.
@SparkD Thank you for your comment. I am not an internet marketer to reply to your comment. Blog is absolutely different and more trustworthy than internet marketing. Wishing you good luck.
