As the blogging world is getting hits from all over the globe,
the competition is getting tough day by day. To stand out from crowd, you must
be good, not only in your articles, but your SEO tactics as well. I have seen
many websites getting spoiled because of low rankings in search engine and this
happens because of SEO mistakes that the website owners do. If you are also
running any website, then go ahead and read this article to know about the top
most SEO mistakes that spoil your websites ranking.
Irrelevant Backlinks
All of you know that to get success with your website, you need
to have good PR. Backlinks decide about your website's page rank, But only with
the relevant ones. Means there is not any benefit of getting a back link from a
health related website while you are running tech or any other niche. This is
called irrelevant linking and instead of showing any positive results, it
always results in negative ones and thus spoils your website completely.
Keyword Stuffing
This is what the big G, Google and other search engines hate the
most. Many of the website owners try to be over smart by using the wrong
keywords just with the hunger to shine on the top of search results. Keyword
Stuffing is the worst SEO mistake that any website owner do. There are many
owners who perform that and then end up with the frustration over getting their
sites banned from search engine listings. Come on, it's matter of common senses
as well. Suppose you are writing an article about 'Web Designing' and there you
are talking about the entertainment stuff, then to how much extent, this is
good to do? Of course to zero. Not only the search engine will penalize you for
this, but the readers will also not stay longer.
Poor Website Design
Some people don't care about their website's design and it's
another big mistake. The theme is not for the appearance purposes only, but for
the SEO as well. There are many websites which have got penalized by search
engines, because of using a poor design. Come on, the website templates are
available for free, choose one SEO friendly from them, rather than going for a
poor random design.
Duplicate Content
Some people don't want to work hard and want to earn a huge
success. The perfect examples are copy cats who just copy the articles from
other websites and use on their own. The search engines detect them and spoil
the website's ranking. The SEO starts from content and what one can do, if you
have copied it from somewhere else.
No Internal Linking
Many people just write articles in their websites without doing
any internal linking. Internal linking is must for the SEO point of view. And
if you are not doing that, you will soon find your website in the Spoiled
websites' list. Do you want it to happen?
