The New SEO
This Curagami post takes issue with the priority and emphasis of two "old world" SEO posts. When Jeff Bullas suggests, important tweaks could result in top rank he over reaches.
When Forbes worries about content length, they ask the wrong question in the wrong way. Here's a thought experiment to prove the point - does Oprah need to worry about technical SEO tweaks or content length?
Answer: No Oprah does not. When your tribe is as loyal, eager to consume and collaborate as Oprah's SEO is moot and adds little. Think Oprah achieved her position of trust and created such a loyal tribe by tweaking or manipulating content?
Neither do we. Do we miss the days when a tweak here or there meant rank? You bet. Life was easier then, but marketing is so much better now, and it will become better still.
The rub is Jeff and Forbes are right and wrong at the same time. Technically every tip Jeff shares is correct, but the emphasis is backward. Jeff starts with keywords. In this Curagami post we suggest starting with your story, your "why": http://www.curagami.com/seo-loves-ya-baby/
The problem with a Jeff Bullas and Forbes SEO post is they miss the point of the "new" SEO - to win hearts, minds, and loyalty with authenticity, stories, and collaboration. We suggest listening more and technically tweaking or worrying about content length less.
