Stupidest SEO myths?

What are you guys opinions on competing with big adwords spenders/retail giants such as department stores? specifically in an ecommerce arena.

The reason being is that Im debating in my mind whether to launch and invest in a site that will compete with such. The site will be better in everyway and more niche focused, however Im beginning to think the game could be rigged.

You can do it, but you need to focus on long tail keywords

So... I can create a blog, copy hundreds of pages of wikipedia, paste them in my site and I can rank that? (not defying you, just trying to clarify for myself)

Yes, you can. Also like a bazillion people do this.

LMAO!Not the first time we heard this & certainly not the last of it,those who knows their way around will always prevail no matter
how hard things look to most.SEO will never die,it just evolve(like everything else) & those who are lazy,always relies on others wisdom instead of using their own brain will always say stuff like that.I would say to this guys if you don't like it then quit & move on but for heavens sake stop whining!
 
I set up my meta tags - I did the SEO by myself, It's simple, why would you charge so much for it...

I would agree with all those except #6 and #7, I do think G is evil but they have enough data through Chrome and other sources. I highly doubt they seperate and grab data for only the sites that use anyalytics, adsense and webmaster tools and rank them differently with those tools vs site that don't have that data. I think we give them too much credit sometimes but everything else is spot on.

So why they banned my first adsense account (years ago) that used the sites on which I used Google analytics, but they didn't ban my secound account, that used the the same method, but sites I put in this account didn't use Google analytic.

They do much worse things than spying on stats.

"If you blast your site with scrapebox you will be penalized"
 
Funny stuff......... hey SEO companies have to make money some how right.....
 
Blog commenting doesn't work

Niche specific backlinks are better then high PR backlinks

scrapebox is dead
 
My contribution to SEO Myths:

  • Reciprocal links hurt
  • High quality content does matter
  • Hard links are bad
  • Pagerank is not important
  • We don't need so many inbound links
  • Comment posts does not bring Google Juice
  • If you have good content people will link to you
  • If you do not do any SEO, it does not matter if you have good content
  • websites using black hat rank not so well
  • .EDU and .GOV rank better than anything else
  • The more you have pages and the more you get a good PR
  • SEOMOZ gives good advice on SEO
  • Websites that are part of link schemes, wheels, farms get penalized
  • One way links are the best
  • A long list of sidebar hardlinks gives penalty
  • There are lots of penalized websites on the internet
  • Lots of websites have been hurt by Penguins or Panda.
 
My uncle told me, that you shouldnt use meta at all, since it would make you rank always on second page?
