SEO: You need patience for results to come up

“I have been building back links since months now. I am also linking internal pages, also promoting my sites everyday but no results have been shown so far. There has only been some minor improvement and my website still lies somewhere beneath a thousand other websites. This is not working and I am going to leave SEO. I hate SEO!”

I have personally seen users like this who complain that they do not get results quickly by SEO. It is important to realize the fact that SEO is a slow process and needs proper time to show results. Building a 1000 back links in a single day would do no good for your website, instead it may raise a red flag of suspicion and your website might get banned for this. Going for only 10 back links a day in good sites with higher page rank might do wonders for you, instead! Yes, SEO does not guarantee any fast results. One has to remain motivated and be patient to optimize the site slowly and steadily. As you all know, “Rome was not built in a day!”

It is always advised to be patient especially when your site does not get a lot of exposure in the initial days of applying SEO techniques. Remember that SEO is like an exponential graph. It might take some time to start off but once it gets on, no one can stop it. If you had placed a back link of your site onto other site with a great page rank, it will continue to boost your rankings and help you stay there in the top even if other competitors come up. SEO is a powerful thing and being powerful, it is always advised to give something everyday for optimizing. Coming up with huge number of back links also gives you a penalty like ban from Google and so on. So, work step by step and lay the foundation of your website slowly and steadily so that it constructs itself into a huge monument and can resist any storms and floods!
