\nGood quality content is all that\u2019s needed for a high rank<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Experts from SEO services UK <\/strong>say high-quality content is just one part of a successful SEO strategy. Keywords are important too because that is how search engines ensure that the content is being shown in the correct search results.<\/p>\n\n- \n
Your website does not need a dedicated blog<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Regardless of which industry your company operates in, there is always something to share and talk about. And, this makes having a dedicated blog necessary. Add content to this blog regularly and it will help boost your website\u2019s rank.<\/p>\n

To improve or maintain rank, you have to post regularly<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
This one has some truth to it as well but unfortunately, there are a lot of people overdoing this. One post every week or even every two weeks can actually help you maintain a high rank. One quality content post is better than two low quality ones.<\/p>\n

Your website does not have to be mobile friendly<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
This is probably the most dangerous one we have heard because in today\u2019s modern era, smartphones are how majority of people access the internet. It\u2019s been proven that mobile users spend very little time on unusable websites which means, not having a mobile-friendly website means kissing majority of your visitors goodbye.<\/p>\n
Moreover, websites that have a responsive design (design that adapts to the visitor\u2019s screen size) get a rank boost from Google. So, if you care about your website\u2019s rank, make sure your website is sporting a responsive design.<\/p>\n

Internal links have no effect on your website\u2019s rank<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Internal links are how you keep users on your website. Without internal links, a big majority of the users will read the page they visited and then they will just close the tab. And, when users spend little or no time on your website, you can be sure it will adversely affect your website\u2019s rank.<\/p>\n

SEO can be automated<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
No, it most certainly cannot be. Those SEO bots will achieve nothing more than making your website look like spam. SEO requires human touch. From the content quality to keyword research, every little aspect has to be handled by human experts.<\/p>\n

SEO doesn\u2019t work anymore<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
This one is so dumb we couldn\u2019t believe that there are actual people out there who believe this. SEO is one of the most successful methods to promote your website. In fact, SEO is so effective that today, organic search drives 51% of all website.<\/p>\n
