In recent years, number of bloggers has increased rapidly. Many people have learnt making money through blogging and have become professional bloggers. Also rising is the number of SEO professionals. Blogging and SEO has become an incredibly easy way to make money and you can make huge amounts of money. I still don’t take it as a real profession or even an useful work. Its a waste of time and nothing more but you can make lots of money. Its useful only if you are a student and you are trying to meet your expenses. But, I don’t think anybody should do it for life as a means of earning livelihood. SEO has only helped increase web spam and SEO professionals have made billions of websites with false information which doesn’t help the real internet users who are looking for real and helpful information online.
I am also not sure about the future of SEO. Right now, one can make lots of money becoming a SEO professional but most likely within few years search engines will become lot smarter making SEO efforts on websites futile. Chances are SMM ( Social Media Marketing ) will take over SEO ( Search Engine Optimization ).
I am also part of this whole blogging and SEO game but I am in it for fun only. Money is not the main thing for me. Money is a side thing whereas fun is the main thing for me. This is never going to be my profession. I love playing computer games and for me, its just a different computer game full of fun.
