Is SEO even worth doing as a job?

My question is more so, why would it not be ideal to enter an SEO/digital marketing career path in 2020?

I already have an answer in my head, but from being on this subreddit for some time, I can see the general consensus here is that there is a lot of distaste for SEO amongst people who do it for a living.

This sub-reddit seems to be dominated by experienced people in the industry who don't necessarily always agree with new people coming onto the block.

A lot of the posts and comments carry different strokes, where some things work for some people, people complaining about the algorithm changes, the fundamentals of SEO and how backlinks are the only important thing and content doesn't matter.

It's just a very disheartening place for new people who have an interest in SEO, which leads me to wonder why people do it for work and continue to do it if they're unhappy being in a largely 'thankless' job.

HTTP-HTTPS redirects: domain level or each URL?

Googling for answers seems to give conflicting answers here. We have a domain that has been HTTP but some individual URLs have been HTTPS (like form pages). We are about to deploy HTTPS redirect on the server to get everything going to https://www.domain.com . Do we have to go to the effort of a big 301 redirect list of all page-level URLs without Google dropping our earned page rank?

One website, two properties (domains)

I wasn't sure how to frame that title so let me explain; Due to error on my part, I have ended up with, a www.xyz.com , version of my website, and one that's just xyz.com. Now I'm tracking my traffic differently on GSC and GA. I'm not sure how to feel about this. Is there anyone with a similar situation? Should I just go on like usual or are there things I need to start doing differently? Kindly advise. submitted by /u/Blessed_Dude_101010 [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/87Z2MRA
