Hello everyone, today SWJ would like to talk with all of you about professional SEO. Friends who truly do SEO and rely on it for a living all know that the current domestic SEO market in China is still very unstable. There are too few experienced SEO professionals; if there are any, they have mostly gone to work for large portal websites or other big enterprises. Otherwise, they are doing foreign trade SEO while keeping a low profile online. These are roughly the two types for experienced SEOers.
But, for us newcomers entering the field of professional SEO, where does our future lie?
Looking at the Chinese SEO market (domestic business mainly centered around Baidu), many people, including SEOers, believe the prospects are unclear. Baidu, this "big thug" of China (a term almost universally agreed upon by those who create websites), no matter how strong your SEO skills are, once you encounter them and their manual intervention... This directly leads to Baidu's bidding system, where "a single call from an agent can keep a webmaster up all night." Why is this? I think everyone knows clearly—it's due to the rumored "Baidu manual review mechanism." So, does Baidu really have such a mechanism? SWJ believes they definitely do, but this mechanism is the highest priority one, something most Baidu staff don't even touch. So, what should we so-called professional SEOs do in the future? Consider switching to Google? Doing foreign trade SEO? Changing careers? Becoming senior editors?...
I've heard that search engines are also transitioning, moving towards more humanized and specialized development. Does this mean an SEOer has to split their brain into several parts? Different searches, different rankings, different optimizations—if that were true, it could really be "deadly"...
Therefore, SWJ is currently playing the role of a jack-of-all-trades, making small explosions here and there on my own little blog. Mainly inspired by what my teacher said when I was learning software development: "Those who do programming should master one language and understand multiple others." SWJ studied JAVA (j2ee), but also learned and looked into PHP, .NET, VC++, among others. However, I focused my energy on JAVA back then! Now, of course, SEO is the main focus. SWJ also believes that whether it's the future SE market or the SEO market, it will certainly develop in a more standardized and rational direction.
So, SWJ thinks that future SEOers don't need to worry as I do. SEO is just a small part of online marketing, but its value absolutely far exceeds what we can imagine, especially as China continues to build a harmonious, moderately prosperous socialist country with distinctive characteristics...
Well, today SWJ has briefly shared some long-accumulated feelings. I haven't had time to write them down until now. SWJ didn't do well in school (failed all 8 courses in vocational high school except for PE, which is embarrassing...). So wherever my thoughts lead, that's where I write. My articles may not be mainstream, but as long as they are easy to understand, SWJ feels that is their greatest value! o(∩_∩)o...
