These 5 SEO Myths are Wasting Your Time - Jain Technosoft

Who doesnt want to rank high on SERPs and get
that enormous amount of traffic faster and
easier? But, it definitely isnt easy to get high
in on SEO with only a little effort, is it? And,
with all the SEO myths doing the rounds on the
internet, it becomes only more difficult. This
is why people are substantially depending upon
hired SEO services in India to take care of all
the SEO tasks for their websites to help their
pages to rank higher.
Even though youll make a wise decision when you
plan on hiring such SEO professionals, but just
to keep you on the right track, we also list some
of the many misconceptions from the SEO world in
this blog that you should stay miles away
from. Myth 1 You must have a high percentage of
links in your content There was a time when
Google considered more links in the content as a
positive factor and ranked pages with more links
higher. But, this led to people stuffing their
content with links, in the greed of ranking
higher, without considering whether the links
were relevant and useful or not. This led to bad
SEO practices, which
2
pressurized Google to come up with a solution
the Penguin update that happened on 24th April
2012 which addressed problems of keyword
stuffing and link schemes. Thus, you need to
have good content and a natural link profile to
achieve good rankings. Myth 2 You must have a
high keyword density in your content Keywords are
important, but that doesnt mean you stuff your
content with keywords. You should keep in mind
the number of keywords you are putting in.
Content should be written naturally, with the
focus being on readability, and not keyword
density. There is no ideal keyword density
percentage to improve rankings in Google. So,
dont focus on the number of keywords, rather the
quality of your content. Myth 3 Syndicate
content is bad Copied content is definitely a bad
practice, but syndicate content isnt. Now,
whats the difference between the two? Copied
content is when one simply copies a piece of
content on their blog or page or, when the
entire piece of content is kept the same with
only a few replacements of words, phrases, and
sentences, trying to provide a different version
of the same content. But, syndicate content is
when a third party publishes an article taken
from a source while mentioning it and giving the
source the entire credit. Hence, syndicate
content does not violate Private Label Rights as
the original author keeps the ownership of the
article and offers a Creative Commons license
for reposting the content. Myth 4 Social
signals dont impact rankings in SERPs The likes
on Facebook and Twitter definitely dont count
towards Google rankings. But, they definitely
have a positive influence on shares and
engagement. You build a brand and put up a
successful activity on your social accounts and
create engagement, which will attract a large
audience and send them to your site. Thus, you
indirectly drive traffic to your website and
influence your ranking on Google. Moreover, the
incoming audience will share your content and
amplify it organically, thus boosting your SEO
efforts. Long story short, social signals have an
indirect impact on both SEO and search
rankings. Myth 5 Tabbed content can penalize
your website Tabbed content is used to keep the
site clean, without overcrowding the content.
When a user lands on a page, he can click on the
tab to read what interests him and
3
leave the rest of the content hidden. But, as
much as this strategy proved useful for users,
it confused Google into believing that the
website was hiding text from the users. Because
bots could not read the hidden text, they
couldnt index or rank the page, but this does
not mean that Google penalized the site thinking
that it was a bad practice. Google penalizes
websites that deceptively use hidden text, but
not all hidden text is considered deceptive. In
fact, JavaScript for tabbed content that
includes hidden text is an accepted example
within Googles Webmaster Guidelines. Thus, your
site wont be penalized if you use hidden text in
a non-spammy way. So, here are the 5 most
popularly believed SEO myths debunked for you!
So, get rid of them and use the 5 most
positively affecting SEO elements on your website
instead. For more information, visit
