If you really believe that, you should learn more about SEO. A big part of SEO is:
1) Making sure search engines can find and understand all of your pages.
2) Making sure that people want to visit your site when your pages show up on SERPs.
3) Making sure that LOTS of people link to you and talk about you online (the PlentyofFish guy has nailed this).
4) Assorted markup tricks that help people find your site better.
5) Understanding what people are googling for when they are looking for products/services like you provide.
If you think dissing SEO is taking the high road-- you're half right. There are "black-hat" tricks that you should avoid. But throwing out SEO as "meaningless if you have a great product" isn't taking the high road. It's taking the stupid road.
- staunch 19y agoI do agree. That's why I said "the way most people do it" and not all. When people talk about building a site through SEO they're almost always talking about those black-hat tricks. I'm all for the kind of SEO that Digg or Wikipedia does. I'm not suggesting you ignore SEO altogether. My point was that SEO is not a product in and of itself.
