Being an open marketing strategy often times people commit mistakes in the search engine optimization process. They tend to spam and in before they know it their websites are no longer to be found in search engines because they have been slapped already. Nobody would want that right? All the money, effort and time put into waste and what's worse is your business might be on the verge of closing down.
Search engine optimization is a vital process in any online business, but it is a process that can make or break your business depending on the way you do it. Below are some of the most common mistakes most internet marketer does.
Targeting the wrong keyword Though you won't end up being slapped by search engines in doing so but it is the soul of your campaign and targeting the wrong keywords will end up into waste so might as well tackle this one. Keywords should be relevant to your services or otherwise your hard earned traffic would just navigate away from your website. Some internet marketers just randomly select keywords without creating a study, it is always best to create a vigorous study on any market in any industry before engaging into it, to see what is feasible and what is not.
Spamming There are various ways of spamming, creating excessive links would result to a spam. A certain website should only have at least less than a hundred links a day to be on the safe side. We all know that link building is not only a numbers game. Instead of wasting your time on building links that are close to useless better spend your time on building a few quality links a day.
Black Hat Black hat SEO is also a form of spamming, but this time in the website itself. Black hat is technique used to rank faster and be indexed faster. It can be done by putting excessive links on page and creating hidden tags like a keyword on the background of the page that of the same color cloaking the tags. Yes you can be indexed faster but search engines will find out about it and its end of the line if they do.
Excessive postings If you have a blog corner on your site it is best to limit the number of postings every day. It goes the same as link building; too much link will lead to a spam. That is why if you can notice most high page rank article directories do not allow more than 2 link or a link on the body of the article itself.
We have a saying that not only in scarce we find difficulty but also in excess. Same goes for organic search engine optimization. Everything just have to be the right amount and in the state of equilibrium.
