In years past, all you has to do was pretty much amass thousands of backlinks of any kind all pointing back to your landing page or money site.

Major changes in the SEO world in 2013 included further releases of Penguin, Panda, Hummingbird, and of course the shift away from providing Google keyword data, thanks to the all new encrypted search.

Many SEO experts have been asking whether SEO as a tool to rank websites is dead and for those working in the SEO industry this is a little scary not knowing if our jobs are in jeopardy.
