SEOs Tell Newspapers To Stay Out of SEO Business

Remember how the starving newspapers began to try to revitalize their dying businesses by offering SEO services?

Well, we ran a poll asking our readers if newspapers should sell SEO services. The results are not that surprising.

Most SEOs don't want the newspapers to get involved in SEO. Some for competitive reasons, some for professional integrity reasons and some for other reasons. But some surprisingly don't care, they find more competition useful.

64% said they do not want newspapers in the SEO business, whereas the rest said sure, let them in.

The one "other answer" was:

is there still such a thing as print newspapers?
