SEO in 2012

Google is drawing more and more of the internet under their control. So when they say that they're changing the way the search engine algorithms work and cracking down on search engine optimisation techniques, that should definitely make SEO providers pay attention. But does this actually mean that SEO is on its way out as a way of marketing your website, or is that making a mountain out of a molehill? Here's an overview of the way things look in 2012.So what are Google talking about exactly? It's fairly hard to pin down, but in terms of the changes that relate directly to SEO they've talked about measures to remove content that's 'written for search engines.' It's standard practice to build links for websites in SEO by spreading supporting content across the web. 'Written for search engines' strongly suggests that Google are targeting the terrible copy you see out there are the moment: sites with the same key phrases repeated over and over, poor formatting, and clearly very little care towards people actually reading it.But where does this leave the white hat providers who've been honing their trade for so long? Surely content that's for users and serves a purpose as well as providing link networks isn't something that can be wiped out? At the moment, that certainly seems to be the case. And that means if you're with a reputable company that takes time over the content that put out for marketing purposes, and considers writing as something that's for users as much as algorithms, SEO should still work.That said, good web marketing is all about adapting. At the moment that means diversifying the strategies you use to promote a website. If you can integrate elements of traditional white hat SEO with aspects of social networking, and good PPC practices, that's when marketing is most effective.So the latest on search engine optimisation is that it's still a good pillar to build your website promotion around, but there are other things you can use alongside it. It makes sense to adapt to changes, and give your site the best chance of getting noticed on the web. The basic principles of that are the same as ever.
