That’s a lot to think about but in the end it really still comes down to compelling content and making sure it’s easily indexible/understandable to the SE’s.

As the internet takes over more forms of media, SEOs will be brought to task of making sure all media on a website is targetting specific keywords. I think we will see term internet marketing bottle all of these changes.

(my comment on the blog) - I like the list... funny thing how this has been getting some play once more (future of SEO) - for a while there we were in the ’SEO is Dead’ - ’Rankings don’t matter’ phase inthe industry of late and now finding there are plenty of new angles to approach things from.One thing I’d probably add is page segmentation. While early systems were more about identifying topic focus shifts on a given page, I can see it being very useful in valuating links as well.We know how G loves links and editorial ones best, page segmentation algorithms would be a serious bonus for them and a concern for the SEO industry... (crap links get devalued even further)

The social media aspect is growing and will probably be big in the future. Social media is also where more and more of the consumer population will be, hence the to concentrate on it as a bigger consumer base.
