What happened to this NG?

I was last here years ago and there was a buzz of activity.

Now it is dead,

What happened?

Did SEO die or did everyone go elsewhere?

Google has unfortunately made SEO get very boring. No one ever seems to
know anything new these days and everyone seems to know the old stuff
(except Bill)((just kidding Bill!)) :-D

People are scared to link now too. I think even google are regretting
the zealous use of "nofollow"

Can't answer for everyone, but my take on it is that most people have
realized that the best way to improve SEO is to have lots of relevant
content. All of the "experts" that used to inform us of "tricks" to
improve our SEO results and worrying about things like "the Google
dance" are probably now busy adding content to their websites.

I write neural network software. A search for "neural network
software" has found my best selling product in the Google top ten for
years. I've never done any SEO at all. All I have done is keep my web
sites updated.

I don't see you in the top 10 (or even the top 50). Is it for the site
in your sig?

No, that's my company site. All my products have different web sites.
A search for "neural network software" will find EasyNN-plus, which is
my best selling product. The last time I checked it was at number two
in Google.

Too many trolls here and off topic replies and people that think they
know stuff that they never even tried themselves. There are lots of
forums with better info and google will also get you better answers.
If you have a question. it's still worth a try though.

I connect to newsgroups through news.individual.net. It's 10 dollars
(or maybe 10 euros, I forget) a year and I rarely see any spam in this
newsgroup nor in any of the others I follow. It's a bargain for that
price.

I now go to Webmaster World - when I get time that is.

Thanks for the info though.
