There have been so many shifts in the industry with all of these updates that google has been releasing, and I keep hearing people say that SEO is dead and social sharing is replacing it. Here is an article released by Forbes Magazine on the topic as well:
The Death Of SEO: The Rise of Social, PR, And Real Content – Forbes
What are your thoughts on this? Is it still safe to buy links, or are you better off trying to leverage social sharing more than anything else?

Seriously though, all around approach is always necisary, no single focus in one are will work.

November 27, 2012 at 11:01 pm #830120p.arenaMemberSaying SEO is dead sounds quite ridic. It will be dead when google, yahoo and other search engines won’t be accessible. The situation is quite similar to the online poker one, game has changed and you have to adjust to it. Those who don’t adjust will go broke and those who will work hard enough, will get rewarded anyway.

I agree. It seems like more than anything, SEO is simply evolving and rather than optimizing for search in the traditional ways, google is throwing some other factors into the mix that are indicators of your popularity.
I think the “SEO is Dead” thing came from people hit by penguin/panda, trying to find another way to get traffic
November 29, 2012 at 7:31 am #830160abbykungMemberI think it would be fair to say that the old way to do SEO is dead, but SEO is far from dead. Like Arjun pointed out, SEO has just changed a lot. The old stuff definitely does not work anymore, especially in the area of link building.
But, now that I understand how the new Google works, I think these changes are completely fair. Truth be told, I wouldn’t change a thing about any of it. God bless Google and Matt Cutts lol

so that would be from webmasters who broke googles rules?

10. On-Page “Black Hat” TechniquesDecember 21, 2012 at 8:24 pm #830955bigprofitbuzzMemberI’ve been hearing the words “SEO is dying” for the last 8 years from various SEO “celebrities” – the only thing that is dying are my brain cells reading the silly posts about it.
Like everything in the world, it evolves, and you have to move with the times.

I have to say it was not the best at all, but it was ours. That said, we have used a few articles that we recieved from a few affiliate programs when we did not have our own up and running. We get content sent to us on a weekley basis from several programs and we do use it at times. Is that the duplicate content you are referring too.

If the articles that you are receiving from these affiliate programs are also sent to other affiliates, then that would definitely be duplicate content.

So, if that is the case, it’s better not to use that type of content even though they give us their approval to use them; is that correct?

It isn’t going to help you any with SEO.
