SEO Techniques to Discontinue in 2018

[Naksh]

Hello webmasters, which of your employed SEO techniques are about to be dumped by you in the upcoming year and also let me know the reason why you would do so?

I am going to discontinue article submission as I think it has turned lame for rankings and has become an almost dead source of traffic.

No SEO technique will be discontinued in 2018 and Article submission is still the effective SEO technique.

That depends on Google's change next year. An SEO technique will be considered obsolete if Google launches an algorithm against it

Directory, article & guest posting that will become black hat in 2018.
