If you've been hunting down SEO advice for your Costume Store 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 Costume Store SEO and debunk them including:
- Blogging
- Sitemap Submission
- Keyword Tools

Yes, you have probably heard many say things like 'You have to blog', 'You need to have a Facebook page' or be on Twitter. You need to beg other websites for links.
