Due to the large volume of information available about the broad topic of search engine optimisation, it is quite easy for enthusiastic amateurs to get the wrong idea about various aspects of it. This tendency is arguably worsened by two factors. Firstly, the world of search is subject to continual change. This means that what was once relevant and accurate may no longer be so. Secondly, the nature of the net permits ill-informed or unethical individuals to spread misleading information with regard to SEO. Some examples of the relatively common misconceptions which are in circulation could be of some assistance to absolute beginners.
One misconception which is sometimes disseminated by black hat SEO firms is that a search engine optimisation campaign can yield swift and sustainable positive outcomes. Most online firms perceive that being at the top of the search engine results pages would be a great commercial asset to them, so being told that SEO is a fast-acting process is simply music to their ears. The unfortunate reality is that such a contention is completely at variance with the truth. This is because ethical (white hat) or borderline (grey hat) SEO only works effectively if it is implemented over a considerable time period. Even then, no guarantees can be given with respect to potential outcomes.
A second misconception is based on the fact that not everyone comprehends the perpetually changing sphere of search. Some individuals believe that once SEO has been implemented and positive results obtained, it is possible to cut unnecessary expenditure by ceasing investment in the search engine optimisation campaign. It is imperative to remember that neither competitors nor the search engines stay still. To maintain a competitive edge it is necessary to keep up the good work. Close consultation between an online firm and a SEO company can ensure that the right level of SEO is continued.
A further misconception is that it is crucial for an online firm to acquire SEO services from a large corporation. While attempts at DIY SEO can lead to errors and unforeseen difficulties, small SEO firms can sometimes provide levels of assistance which are not exceeded by their larger rivals. They may lack economies of scale and they may have smaller quantities of human capital, but their flexibility and affordability can give real advantages to their clients. In short, it is not possible to generalise about whether a large firm or a smaller operation is able to provide a superior service. The persistence of myth in this complex area is based on widespread ignorance about the nature of SEO.
Inexperienced individuals can absorb misleading information pertaining to search engine optimization with unfortunate ease. They can get half-baked ideas from the net and fail to subject them to critical scrutiny. The way to proceed is to learn gradually, crosscheck sources and keep up-to-date. It is also worth recalling that much of the controversy is related to the fact that what worked well in a particular set of circumstances for a specific site may not deliver in a different context.

I also believe that SEO should be a non stop project. If you discontinue SEO for the website once the target placement and ranking has been achieved, it would be worthless since a lot of websites are doing continues SEO for that certain keyword.
