As I was exploring on the web for more content on Search Engine Optimization I came across this helpful site on mistakes when optimizing your site. The Top Shameful SEO Mistakes on wordtracker talks about these issues. Number one is keyword stuffing. According to www.wordtracker.com , "Keyword stuffing refers to the shady tactic of stuffing a web page full of words and phrases in an attempt to manipulate a site’s rankings in Google’s search results." The number 2 mistakes is broken links. Nobody likes a broken link and Googles doesn't like it as well. Google is known to penalize you for providing broken links and giving your site a bad reputation. Number 3 is Copying another sites work and ripping off their original content. Google sees this and can put your site to the very bottom and even make it so hard for people to even find your site. Number 4 is duplicate content and having multiple pages with the same content you risk your self with being ranked lower so when you are presenting content keep it informative and don't talk about the same thing or reword something in multiple places. Number 5 guys we are half way there! Links from non-credible sites are where to watch it. "A link from an authoritative blog is more likely to boost your rankings and traffic than a couple of hundred links from low quality sources" (wordtracker).
Number 6, refers to meta keyword tags and to avoid using them! Number 7, is avoiding analytics. This is something you don't want to do. How are you to measure your sites traffic? You need to be aware how your sites doing and measuring what on your site is doing well and whats not doing well is crucial. Number 8 is not optimizing with the right keywords. Your keywords are everything. They are how people find you so once you know who your buyers are think of words that are going to create you traffic. Number 9, is not allowing your site to be crawled. If your content is difficult for a search engine crawler to find then Google will dismiss it and wont rank it because it can't be indexed. Alright guys, the last one is irrelevant anchor texts. Tailoring your anchor texts is tedious however it will help you with your ranking. So guys I hope this helped a little. Don't fall into one of these many mistakes, make your site the best and be ranked to the top!
