what are the disadvantages of seo?

Hi,
Seo disadvantages:
1. Too many website visitors
Highly ranked websites receive significantly more visitors than those which are invisible to the search engines. In our experience, increases in visitor numbers from 200% to several orders of magnitude are normal.
Large websites with lots of images / Flash / downloads may find their hosting provision needs increasing. This is normally only a problem with websites on very old host servers. Cost implications are minimal.
It is likely that the amount of Spam received will also increase. This may be more of a nuisance.

2. Too many website leads / sales.

3. Extra costs.

4. Risks- There are risks associated with short term SEO or poor SEO work (or over-optimisation of your website causing it to be blacklisted and fall in search engine positions.

Disadvantages of SEO

1. SEO can increase website hosting costs. Highly ranked websites receive significantly more visitors than those which are invisible to the search engines.

2. SEO can increase spam. Highly visible websites receive significantly more visitors, both welcome and unwelcome. This will result in a large increase in unwanted contacts such as spam and sales calls.

3. SEO can generate too many website leads / sales. This can be a major problem. Leads and Sales are needed, but too many can add an extra cost.
