Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the last several years, it is pretty common knowledge that traditional SEO has evolved to include many facets of online marketing. Sure what we call on-page SEO still remains an important, foundational tactic but the modern day SEO has many other things that they need to employ in order to experience success in organic search marketing.
The following infographic details both the OLD vs NEW approaches to SEO. And while some of the tactics listed in the infographic have never been good SEO, it does clearly demonstrates how SEO is now a multi faceted discipline of digital marketing.

Hi David,
This is nothing short of brilliant. Hopefully this will make some old school SEOers realise the old stuff simple doesn’t work any more.
What an excellent visual representation of today’s SEO. Probably the first time I have seen anything about SEO and understood it the first time I read it.
Excellent inforgraphic on SEO both previous and current. I think it sums up everything very beautifully.
David this is amazing. I’ve gone through the infographic twice and picked up new things the second time around. I haven’t seen anything else that shows the information in a way that is so easily understood.
Now I know what happened last google update. But I just wonder that my EMD site sill on first page on google search as well as my friends’ site. I think there is still a way to get good serp regardless on above explanation.
I am recommending this to all of my contact list interested in do it yourself seo. Everyone should look at this infographic to find out what they need to be doing differently in 2013 to create long-term website brands that Google will love. Way to go love it!
