Whether you’re a developer, marketer, entrepreneur or Fortune 500 CEO, there’s an inkling in the back of your mind that perhaps, in the near future, your job or company may be obsolete. It’s not an unfounded fear. The rules to success for nearly all industries in today’s economy are fleeting, at best.

SEO is the key to driving more customers to your online store. Some say that SEO is dead as search engines have changed their algorithms to have more complex standards for relevant results. But SEO isn’t dead — it’s just changing.
