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
  • Link Building / Content Marketing

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.

This might involve ranking you in their top 10 for certain searches 'now and then' and measuring how well people react to you compared to those who are currently ranking. For searches carried out dozens of times a day they are able to gather this information and make a decision within a matter of days. For more occasional search phrases it takes longer.

It works like this:
