5 Popular Myths About Search Engine Marketing

Search engine marketing is vital to any online business. However, there are several myths going around that could leave you with failed results, if you buy into the myth. Here are five of them:

#1 – Once you reach the top, you can remain there permanently – there is no such thing as permanent ranking. Thousands of new pages are being added to the web every day, thus shifting the rankings frequently.

#2 – You can receive guaranteed positions – SEO experts can show you the results of past performance, but nothing is guaranteed. Anyone making such promises is someone you should avoid.

#3 – You can achieve instant link popularity – anyone promising instant link popularity plans to do so by spamming search engines. Genuine link building takes time and is far more rewarding.

#4 – Search engines are attracted to blogs – this is not true. A poorly optimized blog can be ignored, just like the poorly optimized e-commerce site.

#5 – Sub-domains can boost your rankings – while they can help, sub-domains will not automatically boost your rankings. You should always perform optimization on your primary domain, as it holds the bulk of your content.
