Today I was asked what should be avoided to obtain a good or great search ranking. I pointed out my “how to destroy SEO” article from a few months ago. Then i read over the post and decided to simplify it …quite a bit, and explore some ground I didn’t cover in this post.
So without to much more chatter:
- Avoid Hidden Text & Links
- Avoid Cloaking & Hidden (JS) redirects
- Avoid loading the page with keywords (don’t keyword stuff!)
- Avoid Creating multiple copies of the same content
on seperate pages or domains - Avoid using Doorway Pages
- Avoid wasting time submitting to major search engines
they will find you if your worth it, do submit to smaller engines - Avoid using the same Meta Tags on each page
- Avoid writing copy for search engines
Writing naturally is better for everyone - Avoid obsessing over Google PageRank
Even Google admit its only part of a search rank - Avoid checking your ranking daily
it does your health no good and won’t change that much
