When did SEO (Search Engine Optimization) become more important than website design? Call me old-fashioned, but 10 years ago when us advertising professionals were helping website designers like Alex Merino at Pixel Motion design new car dealer websites, they were works of art, not like the websites of today that are designed purely for SEO purposes by some I.T. person with no design sense. You tell me, how can this Scion website be interesting to a potential car buyer with 75% of the home page taken up with SEO text? Is it REALLY necessary to say "Marlow Heights" 26 times on the home page? What happened to attractive car pictures? They've been replaced by SEO text!

What do you think? Send me your comments below if you agree or disagree with me. I'd be interested in hearing from you.
