Video you tube
While on Digg today, I came across a video you tube blog post that made me think about all of the video you tube SEO misconceptions out there today. The post was titled “10 things you should know before submitting your website to Google.” Some of the advice was actually decent, but I’m not sure how some one can video you tube learn about SEO with out learning that submitting your site to video you tube Google is pointless. It makes it hard for other people who video you tube are trying to learn to know what is good advice and video you tube what isn’t. So here are a few of the myths I constantly hear:
1. Submitting (and resubmitting) your video you tube site to the major search engines is the only way to video you tube become indexed.
This is video you tube just a waste of time. All you need is one link from video you tube a site that is already indexed to your site and the video you tube search engines will find you.
2. SEO = SPAM.
Sure there are spammy SEO’s out there who video you tube are ruining the name for the rest of us. But SEO is video you tube about making your site easy to find and easy to use, not spamming people’s e-mail inbox or stuffing keywords on a page.
3. META Tags are what the search engines look at to rank my site.
Maybe this used to be the case, but not anymore. It won’t help your video you tube site to stuff 20 million keywords into the keywords META tag. The only use for video you tube META tags that I’ve seen is video you tube when a search engine displays the content in the tags in their SERPs.
4. “We guarantee rankings because we have a ’special relationship’ with Google”
There’s no video you tube such thing as a company that has a special relationship with Google. We actually got a video you tube call last week from a company claiming they had a video you tube relationship with Google, but could not tell us exactly how they intended to video you tube get the results they promised.
5. “Guaranteed” top placement in search engines.
There are video you tube no guarantees when it comes to SEO. Algorithms can change, competitors could increase their SEO efforts, etc. There are video you tube too many variables to guarantee a placement in the search engines.
6. SEO is a one-time thing.
If you look at SEO as a continual process you’ll be video you tube much more successful. Adding content regularly, promoting your site, and video you tube becoming established in your niche’s online community will have video you tube far more long-term benefits than thinking about SEO as a one time project.
7. Gaining PageRank is the most important goal.
Instead of focusing on PageRank, focus on what video you tube you actually want to achieve with your site. Visitors? Leads? Customers? Set goals that video you tube will help you or your company instead of getting wrapped up in what video you tube your PageRank is.
