Hi Guys,

We all know skill plays a huge part in SEO and I dip my head to those that do well in this area.

BUT - Does anyone think LUCK also plays a part in the theater of SEO and if so how and why?

Let us know your thoughts and see if we can answer this deep philosophical question that torments my mind

Nope there nothing about luck... when it comes to SEO

I mean really if you know what your doing and good at what you do you will get the results that just the bottom line

just like what i always say... no exact result but definitely theres an output.. "depends on how you are going to do it"

SEO requires time, hardwork, knowledge and analysis skills. It isn't something that you base on luck

[pinkfluffybunny]

In this business you make your own luck

[my_misyel]

I think hardwork is the best answer to find your luck in SEO

I think some things you do can bring a surprised or lucky result. But it is all a learning process and some people find methods quicker than others, which may have been a bit lucky in the 1st place.

I agree with you briggidere, I am new to SEO and have spent many, many hours studying SEO, reading articles etc,etc and our site was new in Oct 2007 and just after Christmas we had achieved several page one results on Google for some of our keyword search terms, in fact on Yahoo we have the number 1 position for one of the most competitive search terms "Orlando Villas for Rent".

So yes, lots of hard work and constant tweaks can bring some pleasant surprises.

Its all about EFFORTS...

[angeliqueish]

sometimes we think that we're lucky enough to have good results in seo, but it's really all because of our efforts and hardwork.

[full house]

nope! If you work hard to it and focus on what your doing you can get good result. there is no luck . . .

[zeruel]

Certainly not... It requires knowledge and patience to play this game...

[jabo]

I don't so..
SEO requires knowledge and patience..
but not luck...

[harsha22]

SEO knowledge plays an important role. 99 % knowledge & 1 % luck

[Cryxellis]

Maybe there is a luck in SEO. But the main reason for your site's success was the effort you have done.

[arcel]

hardwork makes your keyword on the top spot not luck.

It could be a form of luck when someone adds a page from your website to Digg and apart from reaching first page your article gets several links on authority sites. It's also a form of luck when someone adds your site to Stumbleupon and it gets popular resulting in many backlinks.

I've had both happening to sites I own and I think there's an element of luck in there.

How is that luck? If the page wasn't good, (the result of hard work) the odds of it becoming popular on either of those sites is pretty minuscule.

yes there is a thing called luck in SEO. obviously hardwork and reseach is a better formula.

Hard work and lots of efforts... That's the SEO way...
