Stop following these 5 outdated SEO rules

Hi Siftrs,

We’ve all heard the so-called SEO “rules”:

• “Don’t update a top ranking recipe.”

• “Use your exact-match keyword in the H1 / post title.”

• “Add internal links in the top third of your post.”

• “Add one external link in every post.”

Some of our personal faves?

• “To rank, write at least 1,500 words.”

• “Rate your own recipe — it’s fine, just leave a comment yourself.”

But here’s the reality: most of these SEO “rules” are outdated; they’ve just been repeated so often they sound like law.

Clinging to rigid SEO rules is holding way too many food bloggers back!

This issue of Siftr gives you permission to challenge outdated advice. If you’re ready to ditch the dogma and get real results, this issue is for you.
