If you've been hunting down SEO advice for your Consignment Shop website on the net you've probably seen a lot of advice. But how much of it is true?
Not much ... is the answer!
In this section I'll take you through the common myths that surround Consignment Shop SEO and debunk them including:
- Blogging
- Sitemap Submission
