My argument is that the methods to game them will become so complex that most people will opt to build sites legitimately instead of using black hat techniques that are either beyond their level or beyond how hard they want to work. Thus, leaving blackhat seo for the truly gifted and relegating everyone else to legitimate UEO. Mayank,

E.g. A good user experience demands that all the pages in your site be well linked together for easy accessibility. And the search engine spiders also want the same thing. That said, people will never stop gaming the search engines. As the engines evolve, so will the methods to game them. UEO will definitely help in search engine rankings. E.g.

SEO has come to be understood as gaming the search engines for better rankings. All I am saying is that as search engines use more human generated content (toolbars, feedback, etc) in their algorithm, that the opportunity for gaming will slow down and the main focus of SEO will not be Search Engine Optimization, but User Experience Optimization (UEO) which is what the search engines want us to be focused on. Yes, I will admit that people will still focus on UEO simply because it helps with search engine rankings which technically makes it SEO, but not in the sense defined above (taking advantage of deficiencies in search algorithms). Thus, SEO as defined above will slowly die (or be a playing field only for the truly creative). Paisley,

SEO isn't dead when 2 of the fortune 100 aren't (weren't.. now they have stats after our meeting), even using analytics on the organic traffic... it's still an infant.. p.s. SEO is pretty close the the same as it was in 1995... a searchbot (at the time webcrawler's bot "spider" now "googlebot") reads HTML (now it's dhtml, xml, asp, etc..) looks for unique, relevant content and returns to store that information (the properties of the object, keywords vs. URL authority vs. update frequency), in a database, centered around a URL.. it's a program (the search engine) and a website is an object... object oriented thinking isn't going away anytime soon... =) you must do PPC for a living…
