All you say is truth. Without SEO there is almost none change that your site will become visible to anyone except yourself, your girlfriend and your mama. That is pity because the popularity of sites should be based on their content, not marketing, but what can we do about it? Nothing, web marketing is the whole branch of tools and applications to increase site’s traffic and it is still growing fast. Soon there will be probably no site that is not using some SEO efforts to become visible and search engine results.

Justin,
Why is it that numerous accounts have lest blog posts above that are redundant or the exact same wording as left prior? -some are exact duplicates!
Beautiful blog- we’re getting our literature finalized today- you can be sure this will be on it!
Pete – I am not sure what you mean? Are you referring to comments? I am not seeing any duplicate posts or comments so I am not sure what you are referring to. Thanks for the feedback though!
“SEO utilization is at 39% of all businesses, up from 19% in 2007.” – a good reason indeed. I started in the business of SEO in 1997, before it was even called “SEO.” Back then, we referred to it simply as “internet marketing” or “web promotion” and almost no one even had the slightest clue of how to get ranked in the search engines. Ironically, it was a lot easier back then, so the learning curve was not so steep. Now, most small business owners at least know what SEO is…many of them engage in some SEO themselves and those that don’t have the inclination to test the waters with their own time will pay someone to do it for them. So, yes, this is a *very* good reason to use SEO – whether you are or not, your competitors likely are!
SEO is everything nowadays. Google yahoo and msn are 1,2,3 in terms of traffic rank. If you aren’t doing seo you aren’t getting traffic.
