There have been numerous speculations about Google trying to give less preference to organic listings by promoting their products excessively in the market. They have been constantly putting stress on paid ads, PLAs, Local Search and Google+. This has made the speculations stand true. This limitation on organic search will raise the bar for coming on Top Spot of Google because of the increment in terms of worth for those few spots.


2.     Ranking on Google No.1 Spot Will Not Be Enough

The face of Google has changed completely in the last year and keeping the traffic concentrated on top spot is not easy anymore. With so many advertisements, PPC ads, Local listings, it has become tough to generate a high CTR. This is the reason that even sites on top spot are seeing a decrease in traffic rate. Organic search performance in 2013 will be improved by conversion rate optimization and aggressive testing.

3.    Escalation in SEO Cost

The stress on quality and genuineness of work will put the cost of SEO in top gear. The search engines now demand extremely high-quality, genuine and most importantly informative content. The link building is not just about off-page submission to directories, articles and link exchange, but getting links which act as sponsors for the content on your page. Affordable SEO services will slowly become a thing of the past. There are high expectations among marketers that Panda Updates next year will be targeting to change the way SEO is being done as of now.


4.     Hiring The Truly Talented Force

Finding a professional who is definitely talented and can work their way to turn things around will become a headache. SEO has increased to great heights in the past years and there are no institutions for providing the education and degree for becoming such professionals. This is the reason that finding someone who is talented enough for the job will be difficult and expensive as well.

5.    Rich Snippets For Higher CTR

With all the things discussed above, if you are still not considering CRO (Conversion Rate Optimization), then you must not do SEO at all. The trend of including Rich Snippets in SERPs is becoming popular now. It allows for better credibility and attracts the attention of user by displaying extra information about the link. It has the potential to allow for higher click rates from organic search rankings and most likely to get popular in 2013.


The coming year will be fiercely competitive with a race to achieve the top spot that is surrounded by non-organic listings. The most challenging task will be to get higher number of clicks from organic searches.
