Keywords regarding gut instincts, a top SEO fail?

 Searchmetrics SEO Fail survey

In 1996, two men began a research project called Google and the idea of SEO or what top SEO fails are, wasn’t even a thought. Seventeen years later, the world of Google has been fully integrated into our personal and professional lives to make things easy. Consumers search for information and businesses attempt to be that information – it’s simple. What’s not so simple is how these businesses show up as the information consumers seek.

For many, attempting to show up in search results or gain the visibility they need, can be a struggle. Many companies do not properly equip themselves or are unaware of the mistakes they are making.

Because search engines like Google do not share their rules or how they identify and rank companies, SEO is essentially a mystery. Ultimately making SEO mistakes common.

Last week we took a poll on our social networks to see what others believed the biggest SEO mistakes are. We asked, “What do you think are the biggest SEO mistakes that are made over and over again?”

Many replied, and here are some of the answers we liked:

  • Keywords regarding gut instincts
  • Web catalogue inscription, Link sharing with websites with non-relevant content & social bookmarks
  • Unprofessional keyword-research
  • Link spam on money keyword

  • Getting on page correct is so important. There’s a fine line between clearly defining your text and anchor stuffing. It’s amazing however how many site wish to rank for “apples” and it doesn’t say “apples” anywhere on the page.

    You don’t have to stuff the site to get it right.

    One of the biggest mistakes listed in fresh content, but this really depends on the type of site you have. Nevertheless, fresh content always helps. Having quality and genuine content is a lot more important than having poor quality “fresh” content.

  • I think what you posted was very logical. However, what about this?

    suppose you wrote a catchier post title? I am not saying your content is not solid., but suppose you added a post title that makes people want more?

    Searchmetrics SEO Blogg iss kinda boring. You ought too look at Yahoo’s front page and nte how they create
    article headlines to grab viewers to open the links. Yoou might add
    a video or a related pic orr two to get people interested about everything’ve written. Just my opinion,it could make ylur
    website a little livelier.

  • You can’t have a successful business without investing money in SEO. But you can’t do it on a gut feeling. There is a lot of research that goes into a good SEO campaign.
