SEO Myths to Leave Behind In 2015
Everyone can fall victim to myths, and in the world of SEO, there are plenty of them. Wondering what SEO myths should you be aware of in order to avoid making big mistakes that could damage your business? We’ve got a few tips.
1. You Need To Fill Your Front Page to the Brim with Content
Some business owners feel they need to stuff as much as they can into the page that visitors see first. Don’t overdo it with your front page information. Provide enough text to explain who you are, what you do, where you are, and what people should click on next. Leave incentive for browsers to explore your website. If you put too much in one place, people will feel confused and overwhelmed. They may leave and go to the competition for their needs – you don’t want that. You should always strive for a great first impression, even if it goes against what you have been told in the past.
2. In Order To Be Successful, You Have To Add More Pages
Another SEO myth involves the amount of pages that you should have on your website. The more you have, the higher your chances of success, right? This isn’t true. If you put all your effort into the quantity of content, the level of quality will degrade. You can’t have both without one suffering. People will consider your content irrelevant spam. Keep in mind that not every page of your website will be indexed in a search engine. Even if something is indexed, it may not stay indexed. Focus on putting out your best work over everything else.
3. Submitting Your Site to Google Is Crucial To Being Found Online
Google is the most popular search engine around, so it’s natural that you would assume that you must submit your site there in order to reach your audience. However, you don’t have to do this. Google has the ability to find your site without your help. Telling Google about your website doesn’t guarantee anything, though it’s a step in the right direction.
