SEO Myths Debunked — What Actually Matters for Google Rankings

10 SEO myths that need to die:

  1. Keyword density matters — FALSE
  2. Domain age affects rankings — FALSE
  3. Meta keywords help — FALSE (deprecated since 2009!)
  4. Need to post daily — FALSE. 2x/week wins
  5. More backlinks always wins — FALSE. Quality > quantity
  6. SSL certificate boosts rankings — TINY signal
  7. Google penalizes AI content — FALSE

Truth: write genuinely helpful content. Publish consistently. Everything else is noise.
