Jim Morris of Nichebot fame, has highlighted an interesting SEO Case study from Webmaster’s World.
In the case study, one new site was “SEO’d” and another site was left to grow “organically”.
The SEO’d site took off like a rocket. The organically-growing site grew very slowly.
I wonder what would’ve happened if they’d ran the experiment for three to five years? Would the organically-growing site eventually beat the SEO’d site for traffic?
