Tips from February 2, 2010
The Small Business tips today discuss common SEO mistakes.
- Duplicating Content: Your
content is plagiarized, and not original. You lose the optimization of
the words on your website if they are not original.
- Poor
Design & Usability: Broken links are killers for SEO. Come up with
a creative, yet useful design that your visitors will be able to
navigate.
- Same Meta Description on Each Page:
To the SEO world, your websites have the same content. Your meta
description should be specific and unique to every page.
- Over-stuffing
Keywords: You are essentially spamming your own website, as it becomes
unreadable in SEO terms. This could get you blocked/banned from some
search engines or sites, such as Google.
Daily Overview: Trying to manipulate SEO to get
your website better rankings leads to many mistakes and poor rankings.
Avoid this by having a knowledge of the SEO world, track your website,
and fixing keywords and meta tags.
