SEOmoz overrated?
SEO moz is an SEO blog that has received a lot of notoriety lately. For some reason it has become a go-to source for SEO information, and its popularity is showing no signs of slowing. According to techcrunch SEOmoz has taken 1.25 million dollars in funding.
However, upon a more detailed review SEO moz appears to be overrated. A lot of the headlines either seem very trivial, unrelated to SEO, or downright boring.
For example here is one headline in SEOmoz:
New Features in Google AdWords & Google Analytics
If you can rank well using SEO you wouldn’t need adwords now would you? Isn’t the whole purpose of the blog to help readers rank better so they DON’T need to use adwords?
Other headlines seem to actually overcomplicate the SEO process:
Rewriting the Beginner’s Guide: Part 4 - The Basics of Search Engine Friendly Design & Development
WTF is SEO friendly design and development? HUH?
SEO ‘design’ is as simple as just using title tags with keywords, keywords in the meta text, keywords in the body text , and keywords in the anchor text. It couldn’t be more simple.
However, this isn’t 1997 and on-site SEO doesn’t get you very far anymore.
This headline left me scratching my head:
Facebook: What I’d Do If I Ran Your Blog
HUH? How is this SEO related? Completely confusing.
Other problems with SEOmoz is that some of the articles are way too long. Although quality content is important rambling will bore readers.
Overall, while SEOmoz has become an authority source for SEO information, it appears that finding good, unique SEO information is like finding a needle in a haystack with all the filler and clutter articles. There is good content on SEOmoz but you’ll just have to dig it up.
