Imagine this. You search for something but the results page comes out with heaps of useless links which somehow got to the top of the list because of the misuse of SEO. That is why I usually just click one of the Google ads instead. They are more relevant in terms of what I am searching for.

Also, being on top of a results page is of course wonderful to attract ‘newbies’ but I’m sure if you have a powerful site title which stands out in a sea of SEO inducing pages. I’m sure being top 50 in the results is good enough.

Well this is just another point to see it. People click on to your site to find content that they want to find. Make your content unique, the design extravagant and I assure you people will be coming back in floods. Using SEO only helps slightly, gaining people’s attention to bookmark the link and come back for more is an achievement. Have a look at your site and ask yourself what can be removed. Removing clutter is a good thing. Helps the newbies a lot. So they don’t have any options and be subliminally directed to click the ads instead.

Just my 2 cents.

Thanks for the input, Hin Ching. In my present course of learning SEO and creating a unique Wordpress theme fo myself, I find your comment here really helpful.
