Comments on: Search engine optimization: Killing journalistic creativity or marketing to a new audience? http://wanderlustwilliams.wordpress.com/2008/11/20/search-engine-optimization-killing-journalistic-creativity-or-marketing-to-a-new-audience/ An Experiment in Multiplatform Journalism Mon, 15 Jun 2009 03:35:13 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Mark http://wanderlustwilliams.wordpress.com/2008/11/20/search-engine-optimization-killing-journalistic-creativity-or-marketing-to-a-new-audience/#comment-79 Mark Sun, 04 Jan 2009 01:01:06 +0000 http://wanderlustwilliams.wordpress.com/?p=486#comment-79 Nice article, and appropriate conclusion. While as a creative writer I enjoy reading (and writing) creative headlines, I find many headlines to be downright misleading. Sometimes this is unintentional on the author's part (who is just trying to be clever), other times it illustrates how biased our press can be. Search engine bots force writers to be clear and accurate if they want to rank in search engines. Misleading headlines are buried, as they should be. As contextual search improves and becomes more commonplace, there will be greater opportunity for creativity in headlines while protecting us, the readers, from misrepresentation.
