‘experts’ still get away with lazily employing outdated and black-hat 
techniques?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The answer is simple. There is such a wealth of content out there that the good stuff gets lost in amongst the waffle!</span><br />

<h2>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">1. We can get you ranked #1 on Google by tea-time tomorrow!!</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">No
 you can’t. Be wary of anyone who guarantees page or position one on 
search engines in a ridiculously short period of time. 9 times out of 10
 they will adopt spammy methods that could see your website hit with a 
penalty.</span><br />
<h3>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">2. “It’s all about the number of links you can get.”</span></h3>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Contrary
 to popular belief, link building isn’t the be all and end all. I hope 
any webmasters reading this realise that it’s definitely a case of 
quality over quantity for link building today.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">However, what a lot
 of people don’t realise is that 1 million links from 10 referring 
domains is nothing compared to 100 links from 50 authoritative domains. 
It’s an unrealistic looking backlink profile.</span><br />
<h3>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">3. “Link building is dead.”</span></h3>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Although
 backlinks have lost some of their power in driving the rankings and 
they’re not as powerful as they were just a few years ago, they still 
have a lot of live left in them. Competitors telling you to stop 
building links as you’ll only get penalised? Wonder why?</span><br />
<h3>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">4. “Any part of SEO can be automated.”</span></h3>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">There
 is undoubtedly a wealth of great tools out there that can automate some
 of the mundane and repetitive tasks to save time and improve 
efficiency.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">However, if you’re using tools that automate blog 
posts, social media updates, directory submissions, links or content in 
general then you will most definitely come unstuck. Google isn’t stupid.
 If it’s not natural, enriching content then it’s worthless.</span><br />
<h3>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">5. “Keyword stuffing works. Keyword stuffing works. Keyword stuffing works.”</span></h3>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">See
 what I did there? Okay it’s pretty basic knowledge but you’d be 
surprised at how many DIY SEO’s still believe that keyword stuffing is 
good practice.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Don’t be afraid to repeat keywords that are 
relevant to your product or service on your website, but bear in mind 
that when it because unreadable gibberish, it’s likely to be marked up 
as spam.</span><br />
<h3>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">6. “Great content will go viral by itself.”</span></h3>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">You 
could be the hypothetical lovechild of William Shakespeare and Jane 
Austen who’s just created the next ‘1984’ but if you don’t promote your 
content the most exposure you’re going to get is a ‘RT’ off your mate.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Highly
 targeted PPC ads can be incredibly effective and Social Media platforms
 such as Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn offer promotion and 
advertisements to amplify and push your posts.</span><br />
<h3>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">7. “Once I’m ranking #1 on Google then I don’t need SEO anymore”.</span></h3>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Maintaining
 first position is often as tricky as getting there in the first place; 
if not more so. Competition at the top of the SERP’s is fierce and the 
only people who will benefit from you stopping a, clearly beneficial, 
SEO campaign is your competitors. SEO isn’t a video game; you can’t 
complete it.</span><br />
<h3>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">8. “It’s all about rankings/ It’s all about traffic.”</span></h3>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Now
 that Google and other search engines have become so algorithmically 
clever with its use of semantic and personalised search, the ‘top 10’ 
results that you see may vary greatly to that someone else sees. Either 
way, the difference in traffic in ranking 1st and ranking 11th is huge. 
Rankings still matter.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">You must, however, consider the quality of 
traffic you receive. Ranking highly for irrelevant keywords and getting a
 bunch of traffic from users with no interest in your product or 
service, then what’s the point?</span><br />
<h3>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">9. “Social Interaction is the new link building”</span></h3>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Social
 Media is great for driving highly targeted traffic, increasing brand 
awareness and yes, it is now one of Google’s many ranking factors, but 
replacing that bedrock of Google’s algorithm that is links?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Remember,
 it is a case of developing an all-encompassing strategy where you 
succeed in every aspect of online marketing and not just focusing on the
 latest trend.</span><br />
<h3>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">10. “Guest blog anywhere and everywhere!”</span></h3>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Since
 Matt Cutts declared early last year that the link building technique of
 Guest Blogging should be stopped, there has been wild theories banded 
around the SEO world.</span><br />
<em><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">“You must stop guest blogging all together”, “blogging gets you a penalty!”</span></em><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The
 fact of the matter is that not a great deal has changed. Guest blogging
 is still a great way of improving SEO. However, of the past few years, 
black-hatters have spammed the technique so much that Google have tried 
to tighten up on it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Ask yourselves these questions:</span><br />
<ul>
<li class="default"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Is it relevant?</span></li>
<li class="default"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Will the reader be interested/benefit from the post?</span></li>
<li class="default"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Are you ‘black-hatting’ with exact match anchors/keyword stuffing?</span></li>
<li class="default"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Is it actually any good?</span></li>
</ul>
<h3>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">11. “You should optimise anchor text”</span></h3>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Don’t
 get me wrong, this used to work. Using keywords for what you want to 
rank for as anchor text was commonplace but it’s so outdated. Again, 
focus on linking naturally. Benefit the user. A branded or bare URL 
anchor won’t hurt either.</span><br />
<h3>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">12. “Reviews are the new most important ranking factor”</span></h3>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Whilst reviews are important in helping you rank well locally, there are several other factors that Google takes into consideration when positioning local websites.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">This
 piece of bad advice is closely related to the ‘get more backlinks’ gem.
 And, just like with links, don’t ever consider buying reviews! Did I 
even have to tell you that!?</span><br />
<h3>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">13. “We should ‘do some SEO’ ourselves”</span></h3>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Yeah
 great idea. I mean, it’s not like there is a plethora of SEO and 
Digital Marketing agencies out there who do it for a living. With years 
of experience. Possibly working for your competitors. (Apologies for the
 severe sarcasm).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">SEO today forms part of a wider digital 
marketing strategy that takes hours of research, planning and 
implementation. ‘Doing SEO yourself’ with no experience is essentially 
digging your website its own grave and you will most probably do your 
business more harm than good.</span><br />
<h3>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">14. “Pages with thin or duplicated content don’t affect your rankings”</span></h3>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">In the words of Matt Cutts:</span><br />
<blockquote class="quote colour margin-bottom">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">“Duplicate content issues are rarely a penalty.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">It’s more about Google knowing which page they should rank.</span><br />
<div class="no-margin">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Google doesn’t want to show the same content to searchers for the same query; they like to diversify the results”</span></div>
</blockquote>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Although
 unlikely to land you with a manual penalty, duplicate or thin content 
will merely mean that many of your pages will not be indexed.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">This
 is of added importance for eCommerce companies who want to display many
 similar products, or even the same product perhaps in a different 
colour, with an accompanying description.</span><br />
<h3>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">15. “SEO is all you need”</span></h3>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">What
 about similar marketing methods that intertwine and support SEO such as
 Content Marketing, Conversion Rate Optimisation and Social Media 
Marketing? Paid techniques such as PPC and more traditional tactics such
 as Email Marketing?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Do some research into your niche, decide 
what’s appropriate for your company and take it from there. There’s a 
lot of noise out there, and not all of its true! If you are still 
following these truly worrying tactics then we recommend you check out 
this video for further ‘help’.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Facebook
 has announced a new mobile app named Paper that could see the social 
network control a significant portion of the digital news market.<br /><br />The
 app will launch on 3 February for the iPhone in the US and promises a 
“distraction-free layout” by pulling in new stories from various media 
publications - both the established and the “emerging”.<br /><br />Working 
with human editors, Paper will curate various sections (including sport,
 food, science and photography) whilst also allowing users to customize 
their own feed. Traditional updates and pictures from users’ friends 
will also be available in the app, but they will be kept separate from 
the news stories.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"></span></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><img alt="Facebook's new app curates news stories from old media in 'distraction free' format" border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6oeg7GcgoOwLil2XazRg-tkY8zf2H0KF8N8OfMGTo33emBcNRavYIRPo3gj5rO1nu6KAAp3y2mekPQs2qVpS8IZK51TmQmAq0_6ktIqtcrT0H_ebNJrGR4c-raW6cGH2PcS3ggXrGnCyv/s640/paper.jpg" title="Facebook's new app curates news stories from old media in 'distraction free' format" width="640" /></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">In
 terms of visual style and navigation, Paper appears very similar to 
news-curating app Flipboard. Users’ navigate through Paper with a series
 of swipes; going from left to right to flip through stories, and 
pulling up or down to expand or shrink content.<br /><br />Users can also 
tilt their phone to pan through panorama photos whilst small, 
context-rich ‘cards’ are used to compress stories. This latter concept 
is becoming increasingly common online, with both Twitter and Google Now
 using these small packages of information to break up the ‘firehose’ of
 information online.<span id="goog_1053838170"></span><span id="goog_1053838171"></span><br /><br />Paper
 is the first major step in Facebook’s ambitions to create “new and 
engaging types of mobile experience” in 2014,and some commentators 
believe that the app might even supplant Facebook’s current offering.<br /><br />Paper
 doesn’t offer quite as many features as the standalone version of 
Facebook, but plenty of other apps have won over users by offering them a
 single service as simply as possible. Complex navigation doesn’t always
 transfer well from PCs to mobile, and Paper looks to offer a stripped 
down approach to Facebook that could appeal to many.</span></span><br />
