mistakes web masters will ever make.
And to be honest with you, if your web pages are not being crawl by the spiders,
what else? Every other things on your blog seems not to exist.
*2. Wrong words on pages.

“don’t just write “mount Everest height” but write “how high is mount Everest”
because this is how people carry out their search on the net.

Writing compelling and quality content is what he encourage not focusing on building
back links and all that stuff.

are all about. The best way to do this is to carry out an extensive research on
keyword that are relevant to your blog topics.

failure to learn how Google works and what SEO is all about are the worst SEO
mistakes any web master would commit.
So, to add to this list, below are some of the well-known but sometimes overlooked
SEO mistakes to avoid.
6. Not Carrying out Research.
Many bloggers are guilty of this, this is one big mistakes you shouldn’t over looked.
Using keyword in your content and blog post without carrying out research on how
effective that keyword is, is one of the biggest mistakes to commit.
Wrong keyword in your content will lead to irrelevant traffic, opportunity miss, not
getting found in search engine for the right keyword, bounce traffic and the list goes
on.
There is a keyword tools at Google which is absolute free for you to use and reliable
to depend on.
7. Wrong Link Building.
Building thousands of links from low quality website would do you not any good. Try
all you can to build links from high authority sites that are trust worthy in the eye of
Google.
10 links from authority sites are better than 100 links from phishing site or some low-
end quality blogs.
8. Keywords Stuffing.
This is not only bad for search engines spiders but also not good for human visitors
that read your content.
A bad way to think of SEO practice, don’t stuff your content or web pages with
keywords, make your articles readable and first, write for humans not robot.
