Perhaps a better conclusion would be that: startups should no longer consider SEO a viable __short-term__ marketing strategy.
Sure, the industry has spawned aggressive black-hat SEOs that make "profitable" keywords very competitive. But I feel that a startup that's carving out a niche that's not as cutthroat as "hotels", and more focused than content farms, can still make search engines a significant part of their traffic.
