The link economy has become so established, we’ve even got strategies built around the idea of never linking out. Once people perceive something to be valuable, they’ll think twice about just handing it over for nothing. So what is an SEO supposed to do?"

You ask some great questions. What works today might not work tomorrow. Is it sites like Sphinn, and forums like the Warrior Forum  where people are going to keep up with all the changes on the net for people who have blogs or services to promote?  I find that people want more than just a brochure style website now, unless they are driven there for a specific purpose.  It seems that interaction is the trend. Are people more interested in building some sort of communication relationship online then in shopping online?It just seems that there has to be a better way to build customer loyalty and web visitors than purchasing advertising  though.It will be interesting to see other comments this gets.

As more media moves onto the web the channels open for participation and exposure increase. Just think, now rather than attending a conference people are giving webinars, video search = TV, Print = PPC, Radio = Podcast. All marketing channels on one medium. I think links will always be a backbone for SEO, but it will be progressed with more rich platforms.
