SEO or Search engine optimization is very important and every website has to be optimized for SEO to get high rankings. However, there are many useless factors that do not even make any necessary influence on your website or blog. I will list 10 facts, which may be considered as unnecessary tips for SEO.
Fact 1. Submit URLs to search engines. It is no longer necessary to submit your website URL or any other link to search engines to make it visible. Just get a back link from any other website and your website will be reachable for everyone.
Fact 2. You must have a Google sitemap. If you have correctly made website, there is no need to have a sitemap. If you have sitemap it doesn’t hurt your website or blog, and it is not necessary because it won’t get you better rankings.
Fact 3. Update your site frequently. Updating your site doesn’t mean you have to change something. Frequent updates will not increase your rankings. Updating your content is a great way to get back links and all the back links may get you better rankings.
Fact 4. Pay per click advertisements will increase or decrease rankings. People say that Google Adwords may increase rankings but there are many more people who say that Adwords may decrease blog’s or website’s rankings. Neither of the propositions are true.
Fact5. Your blog will be banned if you do not follow Google guidance. Everyone can read Google Webmaster’s guidelines. If you do not try Black hat SEO tips your website will not lose rankings.
Fact 6. If you buy links your website will get a ban. It is not true because if you buy links your website will never be banned from Google. Your website may get better rankings only. They do not allow to participate in link schemes. People can buy or sell links because it is a part of internet business.
Fact 7. Use H1 for better rankings. It is very hard to prove that keywords in H1 tags make any effect for search engine rankings. Many tests have been made and none of them showed that keywords in H1 tags affect rankings. It is up to you to decide because it is a doubtful fact.
Fact 8. Use meta keywords on your page. Home keywords or meta keywords are ignored by Google and do not make any effect. This is really funny to read posts that meta keywords can help you get visitors but this is an old fact.
Fact 9. Use 250 words in post to get better rankings for SEO. It is absolutely untruth and it’s not necessary to write 250 words or more to get better rankings. Even short stories get great rankings because of back links.
Fact 10. Optimize for long keyword phrases. This fact is not true because you will not be competitive for long keyword phrases. It is good to optimize for short keywords or for two, three words in length. It is also great to make keyword phrases in bold in your text.
I hope these untrue facts will help you understand the facts about SEO and its rankings.
