SEO – Mythbuster

Google wants to deliver relevant results.

If you created a site about a short-lived but topical news item, there would be no point in having to wait to build up links etc as by the time Google started listing it, it would no longer be relevant.

So in certain cases Google lists brand new sites for competitive keywords. But it never lasts. You’ll get a period of grace of a week or two, then you’ll be back to the grind of acquiring links – the more natural the better.

I can back up what Fortune said. Even for some competitive markets, I’ve often found that for a week or two a new site will rank very well and generate good traffic. After the glory period…. it’s back down to earth with a bang.

What’s the hardest part about SEO, where do begginers start? The site coding, the linking, what’s the formula for rankings?
How to tackle the beast?:hattip:

1st step: make sure all your pages are optimized – specific keywords, keyword density (around 8%), different title tags;

2nd step: make sure your internal linking structure passes importance to where you want it;

3rd step: get links! And where you have control, ensure the anchor text matches the on-page keywords/content.

Steps 1 and 2 will take you very little time – they should be built into your site design process.

Step 3 is ongoing and infinite. Getting natural links takes time. If you’re tempted to go down shady routes, you’ll buy short term success and long term ruin. Give it 12 – 18 months mimimum before you expect too much return on your work.

Best advice: Do the right things and be patient!

What is the easiest way to check the keyword density?

Oh my, ya know
I did search for a few diffrent keyword density checker to compare
and I get a diffrent result on each of them
I mean very diffrent, 1 says for keyword casino 7% , and another one 5%
and the next 3,4% and so on.
Which one can be really trusted.
Is it maybe better to pay a good SEO tool?
Any recommendations what to do?

Thank you all
