Why To Avoid Mistakes ?
SEO is like our body.The better we eat,the better is our health.Doing SEO right can bore very sweet fruits but doing SEO wrong is the direct factor responsible for the downfall of your blog.Link building,meta tags etc. things are the shortcut to better SEO but doing these minor things wrongly can also become the shortcut to direct turn down of your blog. Sometimes panda penalties hit people with completely copyright and spam proof blogs just because they confuse the search bots.In this post I have provided some of the basic SEO mistakes that you must avoid.
What Are The Mistakes ?
The mistakes included in this list are the one which people mostly do knowingly or unknowingly.I would lay a great stress on correcting these for prevention of hits by various google updates.
1. Overoptimizing
Most of the newbies optimize their blogs very well for search engines by adding dublin core tags,advanced seo javascripts etc. things.It is all right to do these kind of things but when you start to overoptimiz your blog,then it turns into a moving bomb ready to be hit by another bomb like search penalties.Search bots themselves can understand your website's content very well but you can add some kind of tags for making their work easier.The danger point is the moment when you add meta tags,dublin core tags,javascripts etc. things altogether.This confuses the search robots resulting into a penalty,so please avoid adding anything else than meta tags.
2. Acting On Rumours
Rumours are the factor that can make you aware of the upcoming danger and even confuse you between right and wrong.Maximum people believe rumours running over the web and act according to it.This not only waste's their time but affects their well settled schedule,design,seo etc. turning into huge ranking downfalls.There are a lot of rumours running over the web,you just need to believe those which you find on most trusted websites and in maximum amount.One advanced tip I would give is that confirm any kind of news 10 times before reacting to it.
3. No Content Management
Content management is really important for blogs,not only for building audience but also for SEO.Sticking to a posting schedule will make bots to crawl your blog properly and regularly.The content that you publish also matters,if your blog is multi-niche then stick to posting category wise in a series.Try to notice some big websites like quicksprout,forbes etc. which maintain a posting schedule.
What You Should Do ?
The biggest optimization lies in not optimizing your blog for bots but in optimizing your content for audience.Google many times said that they increase the rankings as soon as they find that the website is going to provide a better user experience.This is what you should do,focus on your content completely and you will yourself get great optimizations.
