7 Huge, Yet Common SEO Mistakes

You sure you never meet any mistakes when doing your Search Engine Optimizaton ( SEO ) plans ?. Of course no, I’ve made some mistakens, that being said, it’s important for web developers to know what some of the bad things to do are when it comes to SEO. Sites with no mistakes stand a better chance against the big guys. Sites that have many back links, but still have some problems in the html can still climb in the search results when the SEO are fixed. Luckily for webmasters, most of these mistakes are extremely easy to fix and can be completely fixed within minutes. For those with search engines regularly crawling their sites, the changes can be made search engine-side almost instantly. Those with slightly lower crawl rates, will naturally have to wait longer, but the changes will have their benefits in time.
Here are the most common SEO mistakes and how to solve them:
1. Too Much Info – Meta, that is.
The problem:
You’ve not only put all the possible combination of keywords that describe your site, but you’re halfway through all the keywords that you’ve ever heard of.
The solution:
The maximum number of keywords a site is allowed is 10. Sites with more than 10 meta keywords can be penalized and pushed to the bottom of the search results. Make sure you site has no more than 10. Even if it’s just one over, it’s like having thirty over. 10 is the absolute limit. For meta descriptions, the maximum allowance is 150 characters. This really is enough space to give visitors an idea of what a site is about. However, having no meta information is a big killer.
2. Title Too Long and Have Too Much Information – Also Hurts SEO
The problem:
Your site title is 230 characters long, and you’re on your way to the third run-on sentence describing your site.
The solution:
The page title should be no more than 70 characters long. Some people may think that this doesn’t allow enough space for their marketing genius. But to be honest, even 70 characters is too long. You don’t have to write a book to save that for your content.
3. A Word Or Color ?
The problem:
Everything on your site is HTML. You love HTML and can’t get enough of it.
The solution:
If your site design is in HTML, you’re commit a cardinal SEO sin. What year is this – 1997 ? Site designs should be written in CSS. Otherwise search engines can’t differentiate what is design and what is content.
4. Everyone Can See My Photos Except Google
The problem:
No “alt tags on your images.”
The solution:
Add “alt tags” to each of your images. By doing this, you’re telling what the image is. You don’t have to describe the entire picture, but at least put something descriptive there. Everyone likes to know what’s in a photo, even if they can’t see it. Many people do not have the time to input alt tags for every single little icon or part of the design. It isn’t really necessary to have alt tags on ALL images, just the important ones. The alt tag argument is becoming more and more controversial, but it doesn’t hurt to add them and personally. I’ve noticed a different since adding them.
5. Domain Age and Register Period

The problem:
You have 210 days until your domain expires.
The solution:
Search engines like Google put more faith in a site that’s going to be sticking around. That being said, domains that are registered for more than a year do much, much better with SEO than sites that will expire in less than a year. Personally, I register sites for two years, but I’ve registered my most important sites for up to 10 years. The domain expiration mistake is quite common as many people are baffled by the fact that search engines actually consider this as a factor in measuring the importance of a site. But, I guess if you register a site for something like 10 years, then it’s important to you and if it’s important to you, then it’s slightly more important to Google. I mean, anyone willing to put more than just $10 down per year on a domain must REALLY be interested in it, right ?
6. Incoming Links

The problem:
Your site has no back links.
The solution:
A site’s on-page SEO really helps, but off-page SEO is what’s going to bring it to the top. Web sites need back links. In fact, the most important part of SEO is back links. It’s important to also put your keywords in your back-links.It’s important for back-links to be natural… or at least appear natural, so webmasters must take care in not creating too many back-links right away. This looks fishy and sites have been known to be penalized for this. Take it slow. Add a new back-link here and there. Taking it slow allows you a lot of space to dabble a little – to see what works and what doesn’t without a major investment of time or money.
7. I’m Going to Be Rich Someday.
The problem:
You’ve picked a great keyword, but you have 50,387 back links and still don’t rank for the keyword.
The solution:
You’ve picked some bad keywords. It’s too bad, just do some keyword research with this tool. Every niche has those extremely competitive keywords, but those with a creative mind can come up with some good keywords – ones that people search for often, but are allow the webmaster the ability to rank for those keywords.

Top SEO Secret

Search Engine Optimization ( SEO ) is most of things people doing to get back benefits from internet. Good or bad, it’s by your experiences and the ways you’re doing. In SEO, you can get the best result, also you can get bad result and lost everything. Take careful when you choose thing you do, because it can hurt your website.
How could my website get hurt ?
You website can get hurt from search engine ( major search engine : Google, Bing … ) such as disappear in search engine result page, dropped google page rank, lost backlinks … You started with SEO, and easy to make mistake. I ever spend a lot of time to reading seo tips of the others and doing follow it and not almost of it is good.

2. Domain Name and TLD
What is TLD mean ?
TLD is extension of domain such as .com, .net, .org …
Which will be good ?
I can’t say which is the best, it by your purpose and what type of content you are writing developing. But most people like .com, it’s base tld domain and always get the best result in search engine. I recommended you just choose some base tld to use ( .com, .net, .org, .info ) except you running business for special location.
3. Website Title
First thing search engine spider reading is domain name, second is website title. So before you publish article or new post, you should choose the best title for your page. It can help you get high search engine ranking. Combine with keyword tools to get relevant keyword and put it on title of website. And don’t make it so long, no more than 64 character
4. Meta Description Tag
After domain name and title, description tag also appear in search engine result and addition a point to get high ranking. Of course it’s important and because it’s description, it must be clear to people know before they click on result and going to your website.
5. Keyword Research
Don’t make anything without keyword research. I don’t know how you doing but with me, it’s first thing I do for each of my article. It help me decide what I must focus on and important keyword for that article ( title, url, description … ) .
6. Submission
Many people and friend asking me question : Is submission to directory and social important for now ?
I tell them my opinion : I ever do that and still doing that because I got benefit from it ( traffic and subscriber ). I made my website able with social bookmarking, networking; easy to submit and save. Also I always submit article to Digg, Mixx, Twitter, Facebook and Reddit ( more ).
With the other people, it may not valuable. But I think it can give a little bit benefit. That’s enough.
If you want to make it automatic, try this one : Automatic Submission
7. Content
Quality vs quantity content ? What do you think which is important ?
Most people tell content is king. Of course it’s king, but is it enough ? If you own a blog, keep write article by yourself or accept guest post from someone. Write 3 – 5 post / week can keep your traffic increase. Update new article and don’t make your subscriber waiting from you.
8. Visitors
Quality content can keep your visitor come back, subscribe your rss feed or bookmark your website. But you should remember visitor will help you get benefit and money. So don’t let’s them go with any stupid reason such as flood your website with advertising banners/textlinks, too much opinion in your content, very slow to loading your website … People don’t make money by blog/website, people make good blog/website and money will automatic coming to you. That’s way.
