The Top 8 SEO Myths
Myth 1: SEO is a Scam
SEO is no longer a quick fix or approach that use can trick Google. Forget writing text in white, spamming pages with keywords, and grabbing links from offshore none of these approaches can be considered as SEO, but they will most certainly get your website penalised by Google. But there are white hat, ethical approaches to doing things correctly that will help the SEO of your website.
Myth 2: You Can Be Number 1
You have probably received 10 emails this week from companies promising to get you to number 1 in Google. The important point is what search terms are you going to be number 1 for? It could be that the search terms you will be ranked for don’t actually get searched for
Myth 4: Google is SEO
This depends on where your audience is. For example SIRI is powered by Bing. Microsoft windows defaults to Bing
It could be that your audience aren’t using search, perhaps they are visiting trade shows, talking within their trade association or just talking!

Myth 6 : Google is Evil
Google is a great search engine. It’s ultimate aim is to deliver a great search experience for a user. With this in mind Google doesn’t care about your website. It doesn’t care if its good or bad, informative or pictorial. Its just interested in making sure that when a user searches for a “subject” they get sites / content that is most relevant to their search.
So don’t think of Google as evil, a bind, confusing, a route to get found for a keyword; just think about the great topics and content you can create. That will be the start of your WordPress Search Engine Optimisation journey.
