There are several myths that circulate about SEO (search engine optimization) in general that have persisted for years. Unfortunately these myths consist of bad advice that could have you wasting your time and money and result in not making much of a profit of all.

Myth #1. “The more search engine optimized terms you have on a page the more money you will make.”

Unfortunately the more SEO keywords you have on your page the more traffic you are likely to draw but it is likely to be just surfers not real buyers. Furthermore a search engine could penalize you for what is called “keyword stuffing.”

Myth #2. “You have to be inethical to make a profit using search engine techniques on the Internet.”

There are probably more honest people using search engine optimization techniques to sell their products and services then dishonest ones. You can add SEO all you want to a site but if there is a basic problem with your business plan or equation then no short cut in the world will solve it. Usually the web sites that sell the most are sticking to the simple equation that has worked for salespeople for centuries – “The sell a product they believe in that does exactly what you promise it will for a low affordable price.”

Myth #3. “You have to spend money to make money using search engine optimization techniques.”

Using SEO to make a living is the same as any other occupation. You only succeed as much as you are willing to put into it. However the good news here is that throwing money at programs, software and other gizmos is not what is required to be a successful merchant or affiliate marketer who uses SEO. All it really takes is time and talent, which can pay off in spades if you are talented.

Am not agree with you fully in this myth or reality. Because to promote any site and getting returns from that site we have spend a lot, and in a short period of time if any body wants returns then he have to go for PPC, link purchasing etc..

What do you think?

Well friend I think link purchasing is which I also use myself for my clients. BTW this is not my article. Its written by some Anthony Gregory.

Still lets keep this secret or people will not pay SEO's for the work they put in.

yes u r right without paying anything we can't earn.so first go for investment and than wait for return is the way of business.

but what to do if i don't have money for investing?

if we dont have money for investing than just create some good quality blog or provide some SEO services.when there is 8-10$ in your accnt buy one good domain as per your business plan.and start work on that and do some SEO work and when u got ranking go for adsense or start affiliate programs.this way u can make money.this is what i m thinking,i hope other members will agree.

To start an internet business you don't need to invest money.

You people can quote me on that one. It's just that you read the stuff learn from it. Sell your services, buy a domain from that money, Work for yourself, sell more services or products and earn for yourself.

If someone wants to makes this process faster then he or she will invest money. It definately helps in making the process faster. But it cannot guarantee you a success. To achieve success you must pass the stages step by step.
