There are those in industries relating to the internet who bash search engine optimization as a bad career with few prospects.  Part of why people criticize SEO is that the actual practice of SEO has not had a very long lifespan.  It just started recently obviously, as the Internet also just started recently.  In fact, its most recent milestone occurred only in the nineties; there was a spam email sent out by a company for their SEO services (which mass emailing without any plan in mind and actually bad SEO).

Further, there are no hard and fast rules in SEO which bothers quite a few people.  Even experts in SEO cannot agree about what makes for good SEO practices, and what specifically will ensure success.  SEO is a kind of mutable art form, in a way; because search engines such as Google change the way they search out material and what they give prevalence to in their results, those in SEO must keep on their toes constantly adapting to such changes.  More criticism comes from the fact that many people believe that SEO cannot simply be a solitary career move.  It must be combined with something else, like reputation management.

However, SEO is actually a great career.  Besides, SEO is actually quite prevalent?  How prevalent?  Search for it on Google and you will get over 40 million results.  Yet like any job, you may not possess the necessary skill sets to thrive and be successful in SEO.  There are a few things you ought to consider if you are thinking about SEO as a possible career move.

The way you create linkbait (which is content that possible surfers will find interesting enough to stop on by and look at on a web site, and more importantly link to it, causing you to get more “hit points” with Google) will be integral to your success: it is based upon Google’s algorithm for searching.  Why Google?  It is THE top search engine that everyone uses, and therefore the search engine of choice to try to manipulate results for.  So not only will you need to know how to write, but also how to program, and how to read and define a demographic.  SEO incorporates numerous skills, but if you have the potential to master these skills, it is a great career.
