		<description>I think SEO is a bit &quot;over rated&quot; these days.There really is not so much else to good SEO than writing good quality content regularly and building links back to your site.By doing keyword research about the topic you are writing about is where it begins.

		<description>I completely agree with your reasoning and say the truth I still do not think that SMM will ever substitute for SEO!</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t think SMM will supersede SEO, but it is going to play a very important role.  SEO and SMM are both important... and very different.  I think there will always be a need for both.

I agree that providing a product of good value is the cornerstone of any business, but if you already have that SEO and SMM are essential if your product is going to reach your market.

		<description>@Dragos - Agree with you on the fact that a business has to provide valuable services or products. And about SMM taking over the SEO industry I think that it&#039;s possible to happen but I also have some restraints. I think that basic SEO knowledge combined with &quot;what keywords to target in order to get traffic&quot; is very important. I know that you can get traffic and clients just by using SMM : this is what I&#039;m doing with my blog. It&#039;s a .ro domain and almost all the people that reads it are from other countries. My traffic doesn&#039;t came from organic searches : it comes from my activity on social networks. And I also believe that it depends on how mature that market is. For example in Romania I don&#039;t see too many opportunities for businesses on social networks at this moment because the majority of social users are still young. Thanks for your feedback.

		<description>For a business, being it online or not, I think it&#039;s essential to provide real value for your clients. That&#039;s the cornerstone.

The rest is necessary of course, but the first step is mandatory. And now, if I had to chose between SEO and SMM I&#039;ll give SMM precedence. Just my feeling that it will supersede the SEO industry sooner than we think.
