Businesses want website designs that are eye catching and help sell product. But does an eye catching website design mean it won't be good for SEO marketing. If you need to choose one over the other whic way should you go?
Google "website design awards" and look at all the awards that are out there:
And theses are just a few from the 100 million+ results Google returns. (It seems like there are more awards for websites then for Hollywood.) Supposedly they represent the best that the web has to offer in terms of design.
Many of them don't follow best practices when it comes to SEO, yet they are winning web design awards and represent popular sites. NPR, NY Times, Nike and Hulu are some of the winners or nominee.
Does that mean that you don't need to practice SEO to compete?
My answer is no. These companies are successful despite not following good SEO practices. That takes me back to something I talked about before. Businesses succeed or fail because of an overall marketing strategy. There is no silver bullet. Great SEO or Social Network Marketing will not make or break a company. In the long run it is a combination of what you do and how it is executed.
