Search engine marketing has lots of myths attached to it so let me today help you sort the facts from the myths. So let’s clear the myths and get started with 4 basic facts of SEO.

• First and foremost thing while doing SEO for a site is patience. You cannot expect your site to get into search engine result pages (also known as SERPS) overnight. Your work will take about 3 weeks to get reflected in the result and a site takes about 3 months to get into ranking in the search engine. So do not jump to hasty conclusions if you do not see your site in ranking after you start optimizing your site.

• Don’t rush into optimizing your site. Gradual optimization is the key to successful ranking. Step by step optimization of your website and equally supported by off site optimization for the web pages that you have been optimizing would help you get desired results quickly.

• Optimization is a never ending process. One needs to continuously monitor the market and the visitor trends and plan the marketing strategies accordingly. Just the way you are working on your site so are your competitors so as to stay ahead in the race one must be aware of the continuously evolving market. Also it is possible that you are #1 today but if you do no work to maintain the rankings then you can very will go out of the search engine rankings itself.

• Getting visitors in huge numbers doesn’t mean that your website is giving you the returns you are expecting from it. The traffic needs to be relevant to your website. So it is highly important that your site ranks on keywords that are relevant and related to your website or the market you wish to target.
