Google Myths Exposed
Posted by cotojo on January 9, 2008
Google is like the Holy Grail of marketing on the web. Rank well in Google and your profits are pretty much set.
But there is SO MUCH bogus information out there, often coming from the “gurus” themselves.
Jonathan Leger has released a new free report that completely obliterates the following myths about Google (and then goes on to show you what DOES work):
Myth #1: Google Knows All and Sees All
Myth #2: Google Will Not Rank Duplicate Content
Myth #3: You Must Get Links From Related Subject Sites to Rank
Myth #4: Your Site Must Focus On One Subject To Rank
Myth #5: High PageRank Means Good Rankings
Myth #6: To Maintain Good Rankings, You Must Add New Content
..and..
MYTH #7: THE BIGGEST MYTH: Ranking In Google Is Hard!
The site is in pre-launch now, but if you sign up early you will get a sample chapter full of proof and details.
And did I mention he’ll pay you for referring other people to this powerful free report? And that he’ll pay you for anyone THEY refer as well (even while it’s in pre-launch)? Find out more about that when you download your sample chapter:

Interesting read Colin and I learned a lot from this. I think too many bloggers are eager to ‘please Google’ and often post too much in stead of sticking to their theme and concern about content. Another thing is that Google and Yahoo rank different too, so often I use them both to find what I’m searching for.

RennyBA - Thank you for your comment
It is interesting reading. As you say, many are too eager to please Google and there are great differences between Google and Yahoo.
Here I try to stick to my specific theme with relevant content, and although this is not relevant to PC Security it was one I could not resist
Have a wonderful day my friend,

Joy - What these are are MYTHS…you do NOT need to focus on one subject. Content is very important but as on my Life blog, it varies and covers many topics/subjects yet I rank well.
Take care my friend,

I completely lost respect for Google’s pagerank. Many new sites, with 25 or less posts and only 100 or so incoming links have a PR4 or better which makes no sense at all. Then, there are other sites which easily deserve PR4-PR6 which have a PR0…for no reason at all. Four updates in a row, my site was ranked PR4…within days of the update, it was dropped to a PR0. I have 2 blogs, my other being Woman: God’s Masterpiece which I hardly ever post on, which has a PR4. There is no explanation. Any explanation from anyone, no matter how knowledgeable they are is pure speculation. I know I did everything right on my Revellian blog, but my rank is 0. Ranking is apparently at least 50% luck and therefore proves it’s invalidity.
I have read at least 20 books about Google’s pagerank…I gave up on it..hahahaha

Bobby - I agree totally…Google has its own way of doing things and it really sucks. Some of my other blogs I rarely post on have a PR2 to PR4, this one has a PR5, yet my Life blog which I post all sorts of things on and break all the rules also has a PR5.
I read many books on SEO and Googles ranking system, but it is just too heavy to read lol, the mind gets cluttered!
I think the best that anyone can do is to do what they do best…write, and Google will change its algorithms again no matter what hahahaha
Have a great weekend,
Take care my friend,

I am unlikely to get many regular readers for my blog from the search engines because of its topic so pagerank does not matter in that respect. All it is is a bit of an ego boost if it goes up.

Sue - PR is an ego boost for many, and they also rely on it.
On this blog I remain pretty much on topic, whereas my other blog doesn’t. If my PR goes down then so be it….I will carry on as I am LOL.
Take care my friend,
Colin
