    I think some myth is not actually that "Myth" anyway. :)

    Our SEO firm is endorsed/approved by Google <-- Do you really believe in this? You should know this from the beginning by using your own sense.

    Having an XML Sitemap will boost your Google rankings <-- Do you think Google would count this one as a ranking factor? What about webmasters who have a great website but do not know about sitemap? This is not a good logic.

    SEO is a one-time activity you complete and are then done with <--- This is not make any sense from the begining. How about your competitors? Do you think you can done SEO and sit duck without continued afterward? :p

    Given that it's pretty much impossible to attempt to figure out EXACTLY how Google ranks pages, these types of myths will continue to persist. Not only that, people debunking these myths will sometimes get it wrong as well. Out of the 36 myths, I think they got at least two wrong, so either I'm wrong or they are and I'll probably never know for sure unless I dig a hell of a lot deeper (and even then it may not be conclusive).

    The best way to debunk any myths you're unsure about is to carry out your own experiments, although even then with so many variables involved it's a pretty difficult task to try to isolate particular techniques from the vast array of factors that determine your rankings.

    Almost all of them are true. Many people spread bad info on SEO.

    It really depends which source you will believe. I myself just believe those things I actually experience. Now some things just need a common sense and maybe I believe in those too.

    Great content can equal great rankings, so I'm not sure about this one. Obviously if you just stick content up and tell no-one you won't get anywhere but if you market the content without doing SEO the great content can attract links without any SEO work on your part.
