Web 3.0 Will Change SEO

How Web 3.0 Will Change SEO?

Google has landed several knockout punches to the SEO industry. With Google’s Panda and Penguin updates, the SEO world has been critically wounded. Many companies who create tons of junk content and tons of junk links have seen their clients websites sink to the bottom of the Internet. This obviously led to a ton of angry calls and an Industry who shivered at the thought of what the big G would do next. A lot of the remedies that came from so-called SEO experts were ridiculous, “links no longer work!” No, like battered fingers that have been smacked for reaching into the cookie jar too
many times, the SEO is bearish about the supposed web 3.0 updates that are coming at us at some point in the future; maybe months, maybe years.

Web 3.0 is also known as the “semantic web” and has been predicted for a decade. Are we now on the verge?
What is the semantic web?

This is explanation is from Charles Silver, CEO of the Algebraix Data Corp

“The Semantic Web is about connecting data, all data, everywhere and putting it in massive graph databases that can be read and conceptually understood by computers. Currently, most Web pages are designed to be read by people, not machines. But because linked, graph-based data is machine-readable, computers will be able to answer increasingly sophisticated questions for us — to interpret data, understand context, infer meaning and do reasoning. Put another way: Semantic databases, which sprang out of Artificial Intelligence, allow computers to “think,” to understand big, conceptual queries, then find and combine exactly the information we humans need to make ever-smarter decisions. Yes, just like the Star Trek computer did”

As an SEO who has always created great content and who always sought relative links, the various Google updates didn’t really hurt me. As a juxtapose to the sky is falling brand of SEOs, many of my client’s sites actually increased in rank. I see the supposed web 3.0 as a great way to improve user experience, which is what Google cares the most about. Google can not thrive as the best and most popular search engine if their algorithm delivers junk sites or a useless ezine.com article when a person truly needs a solution.
My prediction is that above the board SEO companies will thrive in any environment. I also see businesses linking together to rank for semantic combinations. I can see restaurants teaming or even paying for ad space on
movie theatre sites to drive traffic. I also see more of a lifestyle sort of partnering up and where people who own gyms connect with grocery stores, which connect with doctors. What I really see is a circular world where a sort of ecology is created that links brands and businesses together. I think it is going to be a great time to be a marketer and the people who do great work, who write great content and who can create relationships will do well. I see web 3.0 as a much needed boost to how we use search engines.

In many ways, web 3.0 is the current form of linking that Google would prefer to see! Relevant links, relevant keywords, varied keywords that all ties together. I suppose if you do black hat junk content and junk link building then this would scare you but the rest of us are looking forward to this. In someways, I’m already doing most of this for my clients because I see myself as a marketer first and a SEO second. I think it might have to deal with how I got into the industry vs people who simply wanted first page rankings.

As you can see the world is getting smaller. The future web 3.0 is a welcomed and much needed change that will shake up the SEO industry in a positive way. I think that it will be great for businesses, end users and SEO companies. And you’ll start to see more an more SEO agencies talking about semantic web optimization services!
