If your website has high search engine ranking, you will reap the benefits without a doubt. Learning seo can be a bit daunting, did you know that simple seo mistakes can actually kill your ranking.
1. Using the wrong keywords
The first thing you should do is keyword research. If you get this wrong your off to a non starter. Make sure you target the best keywords for your niche, ones that searchers actually are using.
2. Missing title tags
Many beginners often forget to use title tags. They are important and tell search engines and visitors what your pages are about. Make sure you use different title tags for each page.
3. Over the top flash
When goggles bots crawl your website, they cannot read flash. It may look nice but it wont do you any favours. If you must use flash, make sure you also include html mark-up.
4. Link farms
A mistake even those claiming to be the best are making. SEO changes all the time, link farms are not liked by google. You need to spend your time getting one way links from high pr websites.
5. Keyword stuffing
The content you write on your website must make sense. Do not stuff your content full of keywords that have no relevance to your sentences. This will get you penalized by Google quickly.
6. Keyword density must stay below 5%
7. Duplicate content. If you use content that has been used elsewhere, you will get your website sand boxed by Google. Search engines love fresh content.
8. Inadequate navigation
Your sites navigation and links must be clean and unbroken. Your visitors and search engine bots must be able to find their way around your site.
9. Using only images for headers
Headers are what Google bots read first. Make sure you include your important keywords in your headers not just images.
10. Using unreliable hosting. Cheap may be good for your bank but having servers going down and pages not loading will lose you visitors and stop Google being able to properly access your site and give it high search engine ranking.
