SEO limitation is something what you need to understand clearly before you proceed to work with some SEO companies or you buy the SEO packages from somewhere online.
You have probably received spam emails guaranteeing top ten positions for your website in the search engines such as Google, Yahoo and MSN/Bing. You have probably also seen claims that you will be ranked in hundreds of thousands of search engines. You may have seen that SEO firms selling eBooks saying they will show you how to rank your website in three days or 24 hours at the top of Google, but come on.. There is no magic trick or stick for SEO. Most of this is nonsense; background noise that creates an entirely false picture. As one of our clients put it, "There is a lot of snake oil out there!" Here are the facts.
Typically getting high ranking is not that easy. Otherwise everyone would be at the front page of major search engines within a couple of weeks and boost their sell. You try a couple of techniques and they don't seem to work. So you try something else, and may be you achieve a little success. Then you try another thing. Search engine optimization can often be very time and labor intensive and you may not see results for weeks and more likely months.
The degree of work required depends on the competitiveness of the keywords you are going after. Some keywords are incredibly competitive; solicitors, wholesale, websites, mobile phones and so on, are highly competitive as millions of people searching typing those keywords in the search engines. If you are in a business with less competitive keywords, then you are may be in luck to get highly ranked quickly and easily.
Although how search engines function is based science and search engine optimization is more art than science. Why? Because search engines do not want the outside world to know how they rank websites. You have to just experiment. Ranking a site can be very difficult and tremendously laborious. After all, why should it be easy or even cheap? There is huge competition, so it can't always be easy. If it were easy for your site, then it would be easy for your competitors' sites too, wouldn't it? And after all, there can only ever be one number ONE.
