Search Personalization's Effect On SEO

By: Aaron Wall
2007-01-29

Many people are syndicating the story that search personalization will kill SEO. Nothing could be further from the truth. When search engines update their ranking algorithms they create opportunity.

Plus as the field gets muddier those who understand how communities interact with search will have more relative influence over the marketplace.

Quality SEO is not based on using a rank checker for arbitrary terms and cranking out meaningless ranking reports. It is based on measuring traffic streams and conversions. If the search engines are sending you more leads or better converting leads then your SEO is working.

Customers worth having don't care about ranking reports. They care about conversions. Other than to create a straw man scenario for self promotional stories, why have rank checkers suddenly become important?
