SEO Website vs. Multimedia Website
By Benj Arriola - Posted on Fri Feb 16, 2007I personally do not know Jason Calcanis and I have heard from various podcast, read from various blogs and forums talking about what he said that SEO is bullshit, and you should just come up with good content. And I have heard and read the post of WebGuerrilla, Oilman and Graywolf on David Pasternack, pretty much delivering the same message and comparing SEO over PPC. And I’ve heard other people talking about SEO is not really rocket science. Well for me, after hearing it all, I just feel to lazy to even react. But I tell you, I am all for SEO. But then again, comparing this with PPC and other forms for marketing, every part has a piece of the pie. Sometimes some websites might have a bigger pie slice for SEO, sometimes a bigger slice for PPC.
Now I came across this website of MRPwebmedia with all these videos imitating the “I’m a Mac, and I’m a PC” videos by Apple. instead it’s their version doing “I’m a multimedia website and I’m an SEO website.” Pretty funny videos. Although they are making these videos sound like SEO websites sucks and multimedia websites rule, of course again, totally not true as both parts are part of the pie as well. But still the videos are funny. Their videos are so viral in a way, I will not be surprised if their sites will do good in SEO as well since they might get links from several places.

God that’s fucking lame.
Saw the first one, where the implication is that if you use SEO, you get loads of ‘hit’s, but no one hangs around.
Er, no, that’s not what SEO is. That’s what bad SEO is.
Yes SEO is about getting traffic to your site, but good SEO is about getting useful traffic to your site, and ‘converting’ that traffic into buyers/users, whatever your conversion point may be.
So, um, yeah, the entire premise of that video is even more inaccurate than the Apple ads. Which I didn’t think was that possible.

[...] started copying the same format of commercials. There is an SEO one too, where it’s I’m a multimedia website and I’m an SEO website. Below are some I’m a Mac, I’m a PC… and I’m Linux videos I found [...]

interesting post. I’ve even made a lengthy blog post about this stuff and if you want to just visit my site and see it, i think it’s an interesting view on the whole seo vs flash thing.
