Filling your website with loads of trustworthy, relevant and high-quality content will improve your SEO efforts. Writing for the sake of filling will likely damage your website’s credibility. One of Panda’s functions is to reward websites with high-quality content a higher search engine ranking and to punish websites with low-quality content a lower search engine ranking. High-quality content is professionally written and structured, meaning that the content is void of grammar and spelling mistakes, the information is trustworthy, and the content is relevant to the topic. The phrase “quality over quantity” is your mantra for best SEO content writing practices.
SEO Myth: The practice of spamming the search engines can deliver a big payout
You have more to lose and nearly nothing to gain if you practice spamming search engines. Search engines nowadays are remarkable intelligent as they can detect and fight spam manipulation. Google’s Panda is a perfect example of this remarkable intelligence. Since the launch of Google’s Panda, this sophisticate program has mercilessly crushed spam and low-quality websites on a scale unimaginable. If you think you can beat the machine and the corporation that backs it, good luck.
SEO Myth:Paying for search results will boost organic search results
Spending on search engine advertisements will not improve your organic SEO rankings. Search engines like Google and Bing, have erected barriers that prevent the crossover of paid search results and organic search results.
SEO Myth: Keyword stuffing is how search engines will find my website
Since the launch of Google’s Penguin algorithm update, the practice of over-optimization violates Google’s Webmaster Guidelines. Websites that practice over-optimization are penalized; this penalty results in a loss of credibility as a website and a decrease in search engine ranking. Any written content should have 2-3% keywords, so a 100 word article should only contain 2-3 keywords.
SEO Myth: Meta tags are important to the SEO process
SEO actually does not care for meta tags. SEO is interested in the title tag and the meta description tag. A title tag is the main text that describes an online document. The title tag is a vital element to SEO because it appears in three important places: browsers, search engine results page, and external websites. A meta description tag is a 150 character snippet of a page, article, post, etc. Placing significant and relevant keywords into the title tag and the meta description tag will greatly improve your SEO efforts.
SEO Myth: Search engine submissions will help with your SEO efforts
Perhaps back in the classic days of SEO (late 1990’s), but nowadays search engines all publicly note that they rarely use “submission” URLs because it’s useless to the practice of modern SEO. Don’t fall prey to an SEO offering “search engine submission” services; that SEO just wants your money.
