Common Misconceptions about SEO



With the ongoing growth of search engine optimization brought about by technological advances and continues changes to search engine algorithms, some things you might know about SEO back then might not hold true anymore. Here are some of the most common misconceptions many businesses have about SEO today, and the truths behind these.

SEO Offers Quick Results

Back then, when companies utilized SEO tactics, they would see an increase on their rankings, at times even within days. However, with the recent Penguin and Panda algorithm updates, Google is now more interested in delivering quality results to its visitors. Hence, results from an SEO campaign might take months to be seen, making this a long-term investment.

SEO is Dead

Not a day goes by without another blog post or article being posted about the supposed death of SEO, being supposedly replaced by content marketing. Though delivering quality content is indeed effective in enticing visitors to your website, the positive result brought about by content marketing cannot be seen without an equally effective SEO campaign to make it more visible online.

SEO Doesn’t Need Social Media

Implementing an SEO campaign also entails having to boost your presence on social media, a powerful factor that can influence your rankings on a search engine results page. This includes sharing your articles through social channels and earning references from reputable social accounts.
