If yes, this article is for you Let’s have a look that how one should plan to achieve success with SEO, what are the most important things to avoid, and what are the activities that can be deadly for the SEO and will turn all your efforts down. One thing that should be kept in mind is that, you must target the right key phrases and build links consistently. It is a continuous process - not a one-time effort. With this in mind, we will be looking at the four serious SEO mistakes that you must avoid at all cost. These mistakes must be addressed carefully in order to get better results: 1.     Not Tagging Right Pages With Right Keywords You do not tag your pages with relevant key phrases. This is the most common mistake that many webmasters make. I believe you have seen websites that place only their company names in their Title tags. Title tags are words that appear on the top left hand side of your Internet browser. You must place keywords in your Title tag because search engines give a lot of weight to it. The title tag is like the Title of a book. It tells readers what the book is about. Likewise, the title tag tells search engines what your website is about. If you are trying to get higher rankings for a keyword but it is not present in your title tag, it is very hard for search engines to award you with high rankings. Therefore, make sure that your title tag describes the content of your page and place important keywords right at the front of it. I’ll be doing a post on “Keyword Research”. In that, I will be discussing tools and techniques to find right keywords for your website or blog. 2.     Outdated Or Not Having Enough Content You do not have enough content or your content is outdated. SEO is more than just tagging your pages. You need to have enough content for search engines to read. To rank high on search engine listings, you must place keywords in your content. Moreover, if your website content is outdated, search engines will visit your site less often, and thus view it as less important. This also prevents your site from getting higher rankings in search engine listings. Content is the king. Prepare ten to fifteen original blog posts before jumping into blogging. Unless you have content to put on you can’t go for its effective SEO. It is so important to have original content in order to be indexed in organic search engines. Your ranking will depend on the originality of the content. 3.     Optimizing Wrong Keywords You optimize the wrong keywords. If you are trying to optimize keywords that are too generic, it is very hard for you to achieve success from your SEO effort. This is because you will get yourself into a more competitive battlefield with other optimizers. So, spend some time to do your research and look for key phrases with lesser competition but relevant to your business. Remember that if you optimize keywords that are not relevant or too generic, even if you achieve high rankings for them, there will be no conversion. Again Keyword research will count the most. Use long tail keywords. It will not be a good practice to optimize the website for very generic keyword. Search keyword with respect to the niche. Have a look on the keywords that are coming up in search engines as well. 4.     Not Being Consistent You do not build link consistently. Link building is a process of getting more incoming links to your website. Quality inbound links will help your website to achieve higher rankings for competitive keywords. But link building is a continuous process. If you never do it consistently, you will not achieve good result from SEO. So, always build links constantly and steadily by using article marketing, blog commenting, directory submissions, and other common strategies that optimizers are using.
