Why I Want Keywords Dead Part 2

Web 3.0, Semantic Webs, Social Networks and Swickis - Will It Help?

These have become a vital gold mine for search engines. Think about it, a search engine has to do less cross correlation algorithmically, by instead relying on the intrinsic associations and linkages that teach the engines who's who and what's what.

Unfortunately search engines are still in the one or two dimensional keyword model phase after all these years, and that's pretty lame. Sorry but let's be honest here...

An article in Business 2.0, a stellar magazine for any professional (full or part time information site Blogger) covered the issue well, and even mentioned the possibilities of some of these things unseating the giants, Yahoo and Google. Unless they get bought out by the giants, I say. But it's interesting regarding the cross-correlation of information.

Here's the Business 2.0 article:

I remember there was talk in 1999 of such technology but it turned out to be mere pre-bubble busting hype, it seems. The thinking then was that there was such technology, but the technology didn't happen. It was an era full of empty promises and hype. But are we there yet? Obviously not!

Let me just say a word of caution about what you just read however (in the Business 2.0 article). It's too optimistic because it's a sales pitch. Taking people completely out of the loop? Yeah right, that's still a ways off...

Why I Want Keywords Dead Part 1

Am I Being Ignorant By Thinking This?

Well, before you judge this too harshly hear me out. My thinking is that the whole focus and concern about keywords is not good. It keeps us from our full potential as content providers because it puts us inside a box and limits us to what we can say, and more importantly how we can say it.

The whole keyword thing has become, in my opinion, quite ridiculous. It has exacerbated the development of shortcuts, trickery and poor quality content rather than the opposite of what the search engines claim they want.

Forget SEO? I Wish!

Alright, can you tell that anything other than content development is a frustrating thing for me?

Search engines that really want quality content should allow websites to be what they are. Those who use better words than others automatically rise to the top based on searches, but who cares because shouldn't search be better cross-examined with synonymous words rather than so logically simple and one or two-dimensional?

Seems to me the whole keyword thing is the purposeful way for search engine technology to get out of having to spend more to get better faster, so that it can make Billions without having to give much back, for several years. Well, I say this, you may have fooled everyone but you haven't fooled me. It's always about the money, isn't it?

5 Ways Blogging Makes Things Better Part 2

The "Poor Man's" (and Woman's) Media Outlet?

3. A blog can be the ultimate poor person's solution to idea spreading, thought-provoking, cause-starting and mass marketing and advertising without spending any money. Think about it, once the blog popularity is built, then you offer your product or service and because of the extent of your blog network, the traffic you get, and the niche market you tap, you're bound to get sales and support and hopefully rave reviews as long as your product or service is good. A bad one will get slammed. Case in point? Digg.

Now realize the reverse in terms of huge negative effects could occur and this could be detrimental though there are also ways to recover. Just be careful. A good product or service that satisfies customers should be ok.

How It Will Be In The Internet Democracy? -- Simple...The Blogosphere Rules -- Mainstream Media Outlets to Follow Behind Them...or at least that's what some will tell you...

4. Blogs are sometimes picked up by mainstream media and the associated press, depending on an article's popularity and appeal. If this happens, the blog ideas and concepts reach even a greater market and the powerful social network only grows. Once such a network is huge and continues to grow, the blogger's influence to effect positive change and inspire positive action can influence events and make a great difference in the world.

For Ordinary Folk and Fun...that's the main thing...

5. Finally, a blogger can find a great deal of self satisfaction and personal or professional fulfillment with their themed, opinionated blog. It can be a hobby or a business and whatever it is, it's fun, where the creative juices can flow and be released and where a blogger and other people can be inspired. This is a win-win situation! reading and/or creating a blog?
Do you feel the same way when reading or posting to a blog?
