If your business relies on SEO or is affected by Google search rank in a critical way, it may not be a viable business long-term.

Yes, that means I'm talking about a lot of online businesses.

The intelligent thing to do is sell a product or service that has value on its own and neither relies on SEO nor is it likely to be blames by other sites or companies for lowering their SEO.

I feel bad for these folks, but if you are planning on starting a business that doesn't really provide much value on its own that is identifyable outside of the roach motel of SEO, then you are headed into the ocean in a dingy with a small outboard motor, imo.
