Search Engine Optimization: Common Misconceptions

SEO can be quite confusing if you are just starting to look into it. One of the common misconceptions about SEO that companies get is that a lot of business owners tend to think it is only about doing things within your website, as in making some changes to your Meta titles, creating Sitemaps etc.

While these are important aspects of doing SEO and ensuring that Google is aware of your website, it is very important to be realistic about what sort of industry you are in and if just on-site changes are going to help you rank.

You see, Google being the sort of traffic-generator it is, is quite a competitive market for most industries. Businesses are very aware of the importance of being visible on Google and as such, they are all trying to get their websites on page 1. Hence, logic dictates that Google simply cannot make these decisions based on on-page factors alone, because they are just too easy to manipulate.
