Comments on: Why SEO Sucks http://www.johnon.com/233/more-alienation.html I think there's an opinion on that subject lying around here somewhere....

What's hard is getting a client to understand that everything doesn't end with optimizing a page or website one time. It really does take a lot more work over time, especially if your client is in a niche that's just, well, different from the norm.

You work hard, do the things you know that work (the things Matt Cutts talks about incessantly) and don a whiter than white hat, only to sit back and watch every spam filled, nonesense website built upon mindlessness and link buying outperform you. The answer? Fill the internet with yet more crap to compete and watch the Google bot lap up. It sucks. And yes, I am bitter. Nope, SEO definitely sucks.

At this moment i really feel that SEO SUCKS. It seems like such a waste of working hours, thousands of people spending entire days posting meaningless links just to be on the top of google. It is sad and frustrating. Great title of this post. At this moment i really feel that SEO SUCKS.

It's really pretty simple, not silly, nor hard to understand. These day I feel that seo is silly and even counterproductive in the long run. I haven't always felt that way, but my experience with the subject and its practitioners have led me to that opinion today.
