The 5 Most Common SEO Mistakes

The 5 Most Common SEO Mistakes (http://www.seochat.com/articles/25/page1.html)

I thought there would be sense in providing a consolidated list of things you most definitely DO NOT want to be doing if you want a high ranking in the search engines. There are 5 main things that literally hundreds of thousands of webmasters err on regularly. Read the full article here (http://www.seochat.com/articles/25/page1.html).

thanks, this may be useful :)

I'll add some here:
- not-working internal and external liks
- bad use of flash (the same as JavaScript)
- adding to long titles, metatags
- not meeting content with keywords

ps: I don't see the article link. there are a lot of 5 most, 10 top, 7 worst... ;-)

Here's the single biggest SEO fault that I see over and over. Meta Title tags. They are sooooooo important, so make sure every single page has a unique title. If not you are wasting time on other SEO. Do this first.

Thanks Gregor, I have fallen victim to two of those! I only have one:

Not using robots.txt correctly, allowing some bots to reach 404 errors.

I can add one:

Too large sitemaps.

Large enterprise websites can have thousands of links that needs to be in the sitemap but if the sitemap gets too large the searchbots will just ignore it.

Limit the amount of URLs to 50,000 per file and no file should be larger than 10MB.

1. title of the site :P
2. description of the site :P
3. keywords :P
4. meta tags :P
5. poor content :P

That's the basics, but aren't Title, Description & Keywords meta tags? So you only have 4 steps :P

relevant incoming links should be on there IMO :D

Don't know where to find the link you're saying :trockon:

Is the OP a spammer or what?? I can't see any link in his post.

By the way, The list of most common mistakes changes from person to person, cos you may think what someone else posted is not even worth mentioning because it is the most basic thing.

keyword overpopulation,
fast backlink gain

Yeah it's good to use a metatag analyzer to make sure your keywords fit the site.

Its a good article to share
