Just came across a post on SEO Shark where industry heavy hitters talk about the most enduring search engine optimization (SEO) myths. Rand Fishkin from SEOMoz kicks off the list with his top three:
1. Meta Keywords are still useful (they’re definitely not). See Meta Keywords Tag 101.
2. Keyword Density is a factor in rankings (it’s definitely not). See Keyword Usage.
3. Submitting your site to search engines is a critical part of SEO. It hasn’t been since the 1990’s, but like meta keywords, this one just won’t die.
