Why SEO is dead?
SEO is officially dead !
If you are the one wholly dependent on the profession of SEO for a living, you will be out of business within next four years. The reason : SEO is dead and its only matter of time that people realise it.
Gone are the days when very few people knew about SEO and lot of them needed it. Now virtually every webmaster, every web designers knows the basics of SEO and there are no takers for any SEO product. Apart from this, the fact that now search engines use technologies like site speed and user preference ruin the SEO efforts. People get different search engine results on every PC depending on their preference.
A lot of companies and SEO firms switched from SEO to SMM ( Social Media Marketing) in an attempt to survive in business. But Social Media sites were created with a totally different purpose and these efforts will soon have no value too. The reason is quite simple: Social Media Sites are becoming targets of spams and will soon be categorized as link farms as was the case with directory submissions.
If SEO is officially dead how are the companies already in business still existing?
Only a handful of them will survive. Those companies which have large clients (big companies) and have changed SEO with other marketing methods with the changing times, and have provided value for the clients will survive. What these clients need are visitors to their sites and not SEO. If you can provide that in the best possible way you can survive. The worst affected will be ’smart start-up companies’ and will mostly shut down business. Its a critical situation out there for those who are just starting a career out of SEO. If you are passionate about SEO, you can still make a living, but would require years of dedication, passion, hardwork and patience.
And yes, we are not shutting down 
we are very much in business and will stay on for years to come. We have adopted with the changing times and keep changing before the search engines change.
