Wal-Mart Announces Bid to Takeover SEO Industry
Wal-Mart announces plans to dominate SEO & SEM industries.
Sam's Club Online Services
You can expect to see a lot of Main Street SEO shops shuttered shortly and their staff greeting you at Wal-Mart as in you sneak in for a bag of athletic socks.
I mean who can compete with this?:
Hand submission of your website URL to the major search engines and directories.
![]()
With cutting edge services such as these, I can't see how the mom & pop SEO shops will survive.
Rumor has it that Wal-Mart will introduce its own search engine in early 2009 which will employ a part-time army of grandmothers to conduct "hand searches" for requests either phoned in or dropped off at a Wal-Mart store.



1996 called and wants its bogus services back.

The timing is very interesting. A site, who has failed to adhere to the rules about crawlable URL's is now ranking in the SERP's on Google. While many other key players are not showing up with similarly poor URL structure. Just a thought.

Walmart will use offshore SEO works and will pay them less the $1 a hour

I remember when I started selling online. At the time, I had only a few competitors in my industry and it was easy to beat them in the SEO game. It took only a few metatags and such, and within weeks, I was dominant.thanks for the post.
