Instances When SEO is NOT Needed

published by Dan in SEO with 1 Comment

There are rare times when SEO is actually NOT needed.

• You do not want your website to be searchable - If for some reason you do not want your website to be searchable then you surely do not need your website to be optimised. However, if this is the case you should also know how to exclude your URL from the index of search engines. Here are a few articles that should help you:

Options for Removing URL from Google (PhoenixRealm)
Excluding Pages from a Search Engine’s Index (an old post of mine)

• Getting more traffic isn’t important to you - Even if you site/blog is searchable but your purpose for putting up the site is not commercial nor do you particularly want to spread the information in it, then you do not need the benefits SEO brings. Examples of this are personal or family blogs and websites.

If you have a commercial site though it is important that you do SEO in order to get the most traffic that you can.
