Common Mistakes in SEO
Search engine optimization (SEO) can be a complicated process, especially if you are not very
familiar, or well-versed, with the method. A lot of SEO beginners, and even some professionals,
continue to commit the same mistakes when they do try to use SEO, thereby making it harder
for them to get the results that they desire for their site’s page ranking.
Fortunately for you, by simply determining what mistakes they make and avoiding them, you
can actually fair off better than those people who commit them, even if you are an SEO
beginner. If you are already well-versed with the SEO process, then learning these mistakes
won’t hurt your chances either, but rather, help improve them.
5 tools for all your SEO needs.
You've got all of them!
Wrong or irrelevant keywords
A lot of people try to use popular or common keywords in order to get people to their sites,
regardless if the keywords that they use have any relevance to their site or not. You may be
able to generate traffic using this type of method, but since you are not offering relevant content
based on your keyword, people visiting your site will just end up leaving simply because you are
not offering any content that they are looking for. You are actually getting traffic of market that
isn’t even interested in your site or its content, so you just end up with nothing.
Avoid doing this method, instead try to focus on using genuine relevant keywords, so you can
direct traffic of possible clients to your site, and not just useless web traffic.

Overuse of keywords
Another mistake that people do when they try to optimize their site is by over-using keywords, or
using them repeatedly in the title, tags and body. They believe that by overloading their site’s
content with their chosen keywords, they will be able to trick search engines, and improve their
site’s page ranking in the process.
Unfortunately, this is not necessarily the case. Search engines will be able to detect if you are
committing the over-use of keywords, or “spamming”, and if so, your site will pay the ultimate
price by getting itself banned from the search engine’s index.
Good or relevant content missing
You may believe that even if you do not offer any good or relevant content in your site that your
site itself is still good enough to get and keep the traffic that you are able to produce, but this,
however, is not the case, as good and relevant content is what will get people, or your possible
clients, to stay to your site.
5 tools for all your SEO needs.
You've got all of them!
People are driven to go to your site with the keywords that you have chosen, but it is your site’s
content that they will be looking for, so make sure that whatever keywords you have chosen to
use, those keywords will direct them to relevant web content in your site. Do take the time to
write good and relevant content in order to ensure that your site would continue to do well
against others offering the same thing. Remember that the only way that you can get your site
to stand out against other sites would be your site’s content.
Wrong HTML codes = HTML errors
If your site commits a lot of HTML errors when people try to access it, even if it has very good
and relevant content, chances are people will visit your site a whole lot less. So before you
submit your site to search engine directories, you need to check and double-check your HTML
codes to avoid any problems with your site, such as slow loading time, browser conflicts, and
low page ranking.
5 tools for all your SEO needs.
You've got all of them!
Too much graphics
Bear in mind that search engines detect texts when indexing, analyzing and checking sites, and
are not programmed to look for graphics, so creating a graphics-rich site will not give it an edge
over other sites in terms of SEO, but can actually have the opposite effect. Since search
engines are not programmed to look for graphics, they may bypass your site, giving it a lower
page ranking.
Learn to avoid these SEO mistakes, and you should be able to do a whole lot better than others.
