Search Engines aren’t going anywhere. Social media isn’t going anywhere. It doesn’t even make since to me why anyone compares them. It’s like apples and oranges. There is room enough for both of them. My recent post Security Issues on Social Network Websites

AOL was way ahead of it’s time when it first came out, it provided users with up to date news and content right from the moment the person signed on using their branded software. Unfortunately for them, they didn’t stay ahead of the game and got lazy. Which is why they are slowly fading away.

It’s a sort of silly question as to whether SEO “still matters,” and really not worthy of an answer as such. But as to the general trend/question of the rise of silo networks, I think there are two important macro-level trends occurring which have both complementary and conflicting aspects:
– first, Facebook and Twitter both have demonstrated that they see their futures as LINKED TO SEO with their Microsoft (Bing) and Google linkages; we see an ongoing blurring of search across general-purpose “silo” social networks to the point where I think it’s clear that such tools will be part of the whole porridge of generally-searchable (i.e., NEEDING to be generally-searchable) content and thus SEO lives on…
– however, we do see that niche search is vital in more specialized areas, and we see even in notable enterprises (including a well-known global leader in search) niche search capabilities built in-house to address such as “find people” or “find type of document”, and we see niche search engines and niche-purpose silo sites as not only continuing but growing; this is especially important where a niche area can be too easily confused with “noise level” and terminology confusion in the general space.

Creating silos of human-selected content from the total available on the Web is complementary to SEO methods — meaning, it doesn’t have to be one or the other. Perhaps you haven’t utilized a Google Custom Search Engine — where you can curate a select group of preferred sites and/or pages, then search that sub-set of the Web. It’s very effective — http://www.google.com/cse/

Almost 3 years ago our foundation ICMCC started building a silo of news and science articles related to medical and care ICT (http://articles.icmcc.org). Without any advertising we now have, per month, 10,000+ unique visitors, 400,000 hits, 40% returning visitors and an average of 15 visits per person, which shows that even, or maybe especially, in “niche” markets, silos are very important.
