You raise excellent points and thank you for your post. I educate others that there is a sense of creativity to SEO and anyone who tells you it is all mathematical (software managed) is a spammer. I have had more success by being creative and then testing the ideas with logic and numbers. It has worked well so far.

Could it be that some people rely so heavily on software because they believe the software is smarter, or more “informed” than they are? Sounds to me like it could be a matter of not thoroughly understanding the who, what, where and when of the matter. And also TIME is a driving force for so many things! Thanks for a great and encouraging article!

I guess you can not expect that hammer to build a house all by itself!
Thanks Nick.

Hi Tom,
Thanks for reading…you would be surprised how many people that I meet that still feel having a software product will solve all of their SEO and sales (or lack of) issues…this is so far from the case!

Nick,

Excellent points! While some software programs can (and do) make your SEO efforts easier, you are 100% correct that “correct” SEO relies on human judgment, which a software program cannot replicate.

Yes, some tools are necessary but you can’t rely on them to do all the seo work. Google webmaster is good, I also use google adwords tool, and sheerseo is also very useful.
