Why SEO doesn’t work
Most webmasters try to improve the rankings of thier sites in the search engines through what is called SEO. The most common form of SEO is buying links, trading links, social bookmarking, and writing unique content.
However, trying to optimize your site for the search engines by applying SEO is generally a waste of time and is ineffectual.
The reason why is that SEO invloves a linear solution to a non linear solution (search engines). Almost all search engines are non-linear systems have have VERY complex rules. SEO, on the other hand tends to involve brute force such as buying X links with Y PR and writing Z number of content pages. When you try to solve a multivariable, non linear problem using linear methods you innevitably fail. At best you can approxamate the solution of a non linear system via a linear process, but the results are lackluster. If you took calculus you learn how to approxamate the vlue of a complicated funtion through a tangent line. SEO is the equvalant of using a tangent line on Google.
Thats why SEO generally doesn’t work. People buy pricey high PR links expecting to see a significant rankings boost only to notice a negligible or nonexistent affect. They mistakingly assume that Google can be ’solved’ via a linear solution such as buying high PR links.
So is there light at the end of the tunnel? Unfortunately, no. If I knew the answer I wouldn’t tell you and I would be retired on a private island.
