Question Is there such a thing as LUCK in SEO ??? Have your say now !!!

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

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

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.

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

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.

Well, with the billions of pages around I do consider it kind of luck when one of my pages gets picket out. Sure, it takes work to create a site, it takes work to optimize pages and get backlinks, but at the end of the day the fact is that for every imaginable subject the public can choose between tons of other sites with the same subject and I guess that this is where some form of luck kicks in when a site becomes popular.
