Google will ban you and "If in doubt Google will throw you out".
1. Keyword Spamming
One of the most common SEO mistakes we see is "Keyword Spamming". If you shoehorn your chosen keywords into your page within each and every key indicator then you will be guilty of Keyword Spamming. Keyword density needs to be no more that 3 5%. If you exceed this then you will fall into the beginners trap of thinking that more is better, when in fact, more is definitely less in terms of your rankings.
2. Invisible text
This practice falls into the realm of "Blackhat" activity. It is also quite basic in terms of non compliant behaviour. It is very easy for Google bot to compare your text colours with your site background colors and to determine that you are trying to add invisible content. A word of warning, Google bot is not 100% accurate in thes regard. In the last year, we have seen a site penalized for using invisible text when the actual crime was non existent. The site was predominantly dark Grey on white, with a couple of text boxes that were white on dark grey. Googlebot failed to pick up the text box background and the site dropped out of the rankings. While it might have been an isolated event, it is worth considering taking steps to prevent the same thing happening to your site.

No effort involved, no hard work. Most, if not all of these sites offer very little in terms of a benefit for your site.
4. Paid Links. Google hates paid links
Having said that, Google also makes all it's money from paid ads. So expecting the rest of the world to cease is maybe asking a bit much. Google terms and conditions states that it will penalise sites that use paid links, but it doesn't go as far as defining what it considers to be a paid link, nor how it intends to police this. Is a banner ad a paid link? Yes, but not particularly well targeted. By definition, Google have stated that they will penalise the rest of the world for paid online advertising anywhere outside of Google itself. Are they actually enforcing this currently? We have no proof of any sites having been penalised to date, but that doesn't mean than.....Continue reading this at link below http://www.howgoogleranks.com/2010/09/7-seo-mistakes-that-google-hates.html We welcome you to our new Free SEO site!
