Eh, not sure I'd say SEO shouldn't exist. At least, the techniques used for it are all things that should be the expected default on every site, like having a logical HTML structure with heading tags, having a useful unique title for every page, having a description shown in listings, logically linking to relevant content, rendering the page on the server rather than the client, etc.
Maybe black hat/spammy SEO shouldn't exist, but at a certain level, good SEO is basically just about designing a good product and marketing it well.
- dccoolgai 8y agoAgreed. A lot of the "good" stuff you can do for SEO nowadays is pretty close to "stuff you should be doing anyway" for accessibility, usability, etc.
- XCSme 8y agoI agree with doing SEO as of implenting stuff the way it should be implemented (use tags as they were supposed to do, add rich snippets for ratings and prices), but not with stuff done purely to optimize for a search engine. As I said, the article doesn't mention any real SEO techniques, but only good practices that should be known by any junior web dev (site should load fast, use a CDN, mind the cache, etc.)
