Misconceptions About Search Engine Optimization
Summary
Imagine a teenager entering a barber shop and declaring, "Don't touch me, I'm only here because my mom forced me." This scenario parallels the challenges search engine optimizers face. They're skilled and eager to improve a client's site, but the client resists changes to the visible content. Such situations arise from widespread misconceptions about search engine optimization (SEO).
Misconceptions in SEO
1. SEO is Just About Meta Tags and Hidden Code
Many people want high rankings for specific keywords but overlook placing these keywords in the visible text on their pages. Clients often expect SEO experts to work wonders by simply adjusting meta tags. This is a common misunderstanding.
While it's true that keywords should be in the title, description, and keywords meta tags, they also need to be strategically placed throughout the page content. Some clients might say, "I like how it looks now." Nevertheless, without the right keywords in headlines, the opening paragraph, file or domain names, link text, and body content, search engines might not recognize the page's relevance.
If your existing content effectively converts visitors or serves your site's purpose, keep it. However, be open to suggestions from your SEO expert to help search engines better identify your site's relevance to specific queries.
2. SEO is About Tricking Search Engines
Some clients want no visible changes, asking for hidden modifications instead. Using invisible text risks getting your site banned. The real goal of SEO is to optimize your website to rank well for relevant queries without compromising user experience.
So, collaborate with your SEO professional to showcase your website effectively rather than trying to deceive search engines.
3. SEO is Mainly About Onsite Modifications
Even with a well-designed site featuring proper meta tags and keyword-rich text, high rankings in competitive queries aren't guaranteed. While on-site factors matter, off-site factors, like backlinks from authoritative sites, are also crucial.
Alongside onsite optimization, work with your promotion team to secure links from respected websites to enhance your site's credibility.
4. SEO Delivers Immediate Results
Don't expect instant traffic surges post-optimization. While some search engines update quickly, Google, the dominant player, is believed to include an aging delay in its algorithm. This means it can take months to see top rankings, especially for new sites.
During this time, consider other promotional strategies like pay-per-click ads, article marketing, joint ventures, paid advertisements in ezines, and offline marketing.
