If you arrived in this section, it is assumed you have read or seen some advertisement that claim to increase your chances for a higher ranking in certain Internet search engines. In this series you will find the ten most common myths and misconceptions in the field of Search Engine Optimization (SEO). We wrote this section because more and more companies come to us and have preconceived ideas about SEO. Our Top 10 SEO Myths series will help you separate myth from fact.
SEO definition: to rapidly and easily find any Web site
To begin with, SEO has been around only since about late 1996, early 1997. You should
be careful of people that claim they have been in the business ten years or longer.
GCIS strongly believes that, if an individual, company, business, large corporation
or some government agency has invested in the creation, update and hosting of any Web
site, it goes without saying that the site should be properly optimized. By being properly
positioned at the top of search engine results and optimized for the Web, potential
clients wishing to purchase products and services that interest them, your Web site
listing and address will rapidly enable them to find your company on the major Internet
search engines such as Google, Yahoo, Alta-Vista, All-the-Web, Teoma... etc.
