  constant research, constant tweaking, and even

  suggests that the age of the domain plays a role
  in ranking.

• The reality is that old sites have been working
  for a very long time. If we compare five year old
  sites that have consistently built valuable links
  with sites that have just been around for 5
  months or 5 years, we will see that due to the
  high volume of links.

7. Image Optimization Is Not Needed

  Google that you are more popular and give people
  valuable content.

  and Google looked for consistency in quantity.

• If you are in the market for SEO services, one of
  the things you often hear is that SEO is cheap.
• Truth

  alternatives on the market, but it is not cheap.
  Some small agencies offer affordable services
  from other agencies, but that doesn't mean it's
  cheap.
