Portent Staff Survey: “What’s Your Biggest Question(s) About SEO?”

How awesome is this? We’ve done these at Amplify, but never really put down the questions and answers in a blog post. My favorite questions:

  • Do rankings even really matter anymore? What about the whole personalized search thing?
  • Why are my search results progressively less helpful every time Google has an algorithm update?
  • The new HTML5 elements (i.e. section, article, etc.) are a big deal for accessibility. How do they play into SEO?

There are a lot more in the post, so make sure you stop on by there and see what else people are wondering about when it comes to SEO.
