6 <strong>Mistakes</strong> <strong>to</strong> <strong>Avoid</strong> <strong>While</strong> <strong>Doing</strong> <strong>SEO</strong><br />

Perhaps someone may be surprised, but even the most experienced and literate<br />

<strong>SEO</strong>s sometimes make mistakes while promoting a website. In this article, I will list<br />

the basic ones. No matter how well you are versed in <strong>SEO</strong>, just try <strong>to</strong> always keep<br />

them in mind. Check out here <strong>SEO</strong> mistakes <strong>to</strong> avoid:<br />

1. Reluctance To Optimize The & Tags<br />

and tags are the short description of your HTML­code<br />

attached <strong>to</strong> each page of the site. With their help, search engines get a general idea<br />

of the type of content published on your site.<br />

It often happens, that after the optimization of several dozen pages, many<br />

webmasters are getting <strong>to</strong>o lazy <strong>to</strong> continue registering the same tag again and<br />

again. Please don’t do this.<br />

You should not neglect these tags because they display on SERP, and, thus, are<br />

responsible for the user’s first impression of your site.


At least, it is possible <strong>to</strong> use certain programs. For example, some <strong>SEO</strong>­plugins in<br />

WordPress, offer its users the option <strong>to</strong> generate meta tags dynamically. It simplifies<br />

the task, even though does not implement it fully.<br />

2. Duplicate Content<br />

Duplicate content issues, as well as duplicate meta tags and title tags, can severely<br />

decrease the search engines trust. The problem here is not just about the intentional<br />

plagiarism or copying but in the indexing error. Google indexes the HTTP, and<br />

HTTPS versions of your pages as separate objects. Webmasters often forget about<br />

such things, though they should not.<br />

3. Over­Optimization Of Keywords<br />

Although you might want <strong>to</strong> generate content optimized for the search engines,<br />

please don’t. Always remember, that the main aim is <strong>to</strong> create a useful and userfriendly<br />

website with the valuable content.<br />

Do not put a huge number of keywords on your every page, it only reduces the<br />

quality of your content, and trust <strong>to</strong> your domain.<br />

By the way, long time ago Google integrated semantic features in<strong>to</strong> its search<br />

engine, and the number of keywords don’t mean so much for the site optimization<br />

anymore.<br />

4. Focus On Quantity Content, Not The Quality Content<br />

If one publication brings you X of subscribers, does it mean that two publications<br />

bring you twice more? No! Such attitude ruined many <strong>SEO</strong> campaigns.<br />

It all depends on the quality of the content. So, better spend more time <strong>to</strong> create<br />

something insightful and trends­corresponding, rather than frequently publish<br />

unuseful material.<br />

5. Outdated Sitemap<br />

Yes, Google indexes your website content no matter if you have XML­cards.<br />

However, if you have one, Google can do it faster, and determine you as a content<br />

crea<strong>to</strong>r, so you will never face unpleasant accusations of plagiarism.<br />

Since most of the sites are regularly updated, maintaining the XML­sitemap <strong>to</strong> date<br />

can be the difficult part, but still crucial.<br />

6. Neglecting The Diagnosis Tools


There are various platforms providing all necessary information needed <strong>to</strong> create<br />

and promote a website that is going <strong>to</strong> love both users and search engine spiders.<br />

Tools like Serpstat are aimed <strong>to</strong> conduct a quick comprehensive analysis of the<br />

website <strong>to</strong> get the information on the number of errors and see how well the domain<br />

is optimized in general.<br />

For example, on the image above, there is the errors report of the H&M website,<br />

obtained by the Serpstat audit. As we see, most problems are connected with Meta<br />

Tags, Headings, and Redirects.<br />

In each section, errors are divided by level of priority.<br />

And it is easy <strong>to</strong> pull a list with them all for the convenience of future work on these<br />

bugs. Fixing them is crucial for developing a user­ and search engine­friendly site. A<br />

regular audit is one of the keys <strong>to</strong> the technical stability of the site and the growth of<br />

organic traffic.<br />

Do not neglect such <strong>to</strong>ols. They are here <strong>to</strong> make webmaster’s life easier.<br />

P.S.<br />

I hasten <strong>to</strong> say that even fixing of all mentioned errors won’t magically boost your<br />

rankings. <strong>SEO</strong> is a constant work on improvement of yourself and the website you<br />

are working on.<br />

My advice is <strong>to</strong> always operate at full power, constantly keeping in mind the idea<br />

that you can make a mistake. Re­examination of your workflow will never be<br />

redundant <strong>to</strong> your strategy. Always strive for excellence.<br />
