If SEO 1.0 is about ensuring that 1990s-era web design techniques (such as tables and frames) are modified to minimize search engine ranking issues, then Web 2.0 is all about addressing how you can make your sites search-engine friendly with new technology. CSS, AJAX and other dynamic design techniques can give search engines fits; SEO 2.0 is all about ensuring that Web 2.0 sites are as search engine friendly as Web 1.0 sites.
