SEO San Diego: SEO Myths

SEO myths are frequently propigated by the SEO industry. Most SEO myths are easily clarified and debunked. Common SEO myths:

SEO is difficult to understand: The SEO industry has historically propagated the belief SEO is difficult to understand in order to maintain control over SEO practices. In reality, SEO can be learned and SEO published guidelines and rules can be understood. Google publishes SEO Guidelines to affirm and clarify what SEO practices Google accepts. Google's published SEO Guidelines follow common sense SEO practices. Google's business model is to provide consumers (people searching the Internet with Google) the most relevant search return results possible based on information on the Internet. The more relevant website information is to searches the higher the search return ranking websites receive. Website with limited or poor relevant content to searches rank lower. Thus, the Internet and search engines are married to the value of content housed within websites on the Internet.

SEO is difficult to achieve: SEO, depending upon online competition, may or may not be easy to achieve. Competitive online products, services or information require a significant volume of quality keyword content, higher-end website design and more advanced online marketing and promotion. Less competitive online markets or vertical speciality markets are generally easier to optimize and maintain a competitive ranked position.

SEO can be achieved quickly: SEO is a long-term process that requires online competitor research, keyword content optimized for specific keyword search term that reflect target markets and the addition of fresh content added to websites in order to maintain rankings. Short-term SEO practices commonly result in spikes of non-qualified traffic, do not increase sales conversions, and do not last.

High ranked search returns equal sales: Search engine placement does not equal sales conversions. Unless search terms match or reflect target consumer markets, sales conversions will not occur. Most SEO companies focus on promising high search engine positioning without considering the importance of matching search terms to target markets.
