10 SEO myths

5 Jan, 2008

Since I’m not a pro in this whole SEO thing I decided to do my own research. I came across with Search Engine Land, where they talk about “10 myths of SEO”. I don’t know if this is all true or not, but I thought that sharing this would be interesting.

Check them out:

Adding your URL to the search engines: This may have helped once upon a time, but it’s been at least 5 or 6 years since that’s been necessary.

You need a Google Sitemap: If your site was built correctly, i.e., it’s crawler-friendly, you certainly don’t need a Google Sitemap.

You need to update your site frequently: frequent updates to your pages may increase the search engine crawl rate, but it won’t increase your rankings. If your site doesn’t need to change, don’t change it just because you think the search engines will like it better.
