The most common myth about SEO i face with when i start to talk about search engine optimization is that SEO is easy and cheap one-time event. Nope, think again. If it was really that easy, everyone would do it and get to no.1 in Google for "hosting". And if it was really that cheap, companies wouldn't spend thousands of dollars for their promotional campaigns. And if it was one-time even we would have no jobs :) We need more articles like that for people realize what real SEO is about. Very good article with most common SEO myths.

I learned a very that I knew but had never seen worded so they made so much more sense. Another myth is I've run into is that you don't have to change your site to do SEO. SEO can help bring people to your site but if your site doesn't engage them to stick around, one the traffic won't matter and two if a visitor won't stick around neither will a search engine to rank you.

A website is never “optimized,” it either has good rankings or it doesn’t. And once it has good rankings you don’t just sit back and relax, a lot of work is still required to maintain a good ranking.
