Top SEO Mistakes

 

I will help you avoid some of the common problems and SEO mistakes, the kind that cost you time and a lot of money. A big mistake that is seen usually is duplicate content. Creating two sites that are exactly the same with minor design changes. No Unique Content.

Do you want to know why your traffic has dropped all of a suddenly?

    Google Analytics has day-by-day stats, so if you see a major decrease on one day, you can just view Google Analytics for the previous day (or the whole week if you want to be accurate), see where the incoming traffic was coming from, and then view for the day where the decrease happened and compare the different sources of incoming traffic.

Google Analytics also shows you incoming links from different sites. They split it into Search Engines, Direct Traffic, and Referring Sites.

Some of the top SEO mistakes made my webmasters are
 

  • Duplicate Content (Search engines biggest enemy)
  • Bad Anchor link text (Targeting the wrong keywords).
  • Paid Links from irrelevant sites (Getting backlinks too fast using Link Farms).
  • Repetition of keywords (Keyword stuffing).
  • Irrelevant Outbound Links.
  • Poor Page Title (Not using unique page titles for each page).
  • Bad code Programming.
  • Doorway Pages
  • Tiny/Hidden Text
  • Lack of focus on one Niche in a website.
  • Focusing on the search engines and not the visitor can lead to mechanical pages.
  • Using Auto generated content
  • Not using main keywords in H1's
  • Cloaking
  • Over Submitting site to engines
  • No use of key word or key phrase (use of Unrelated Keywords)
  • Redirects
