Don't do this while doing SEO

Dear all,
if you want more stability in SERP for your website then don't do these things in your websites and away from SE penalties...

* Over Optimisation
* Purchasing Links
* Selling Links
* Comment Spamming
* Cloaking
* Hidden Text
* Duplicate Content
* Keyword stuffing
* Manual penalties
* Sandbox effect

Thanks!!!

 

Thank you for your suggestion. Can you elaborate on the Over Optimisation Penalty.

 

Do not backlink internally too much within your own site.

 

Really, can this be harmful? I thought it was good to link within your site...only relevant words/links of course.

Anyone else know anything about this?

 

Care to explain more on manual penalties??

 

thanks but what is Cloaking

 

It's not a real penalty in the sense that it's setting off a red flag. It's just that you want to structure your site so that the juice is flowing where you want it. Going overboard and trying to link every which way can work against you.

That's what you're shooting for and it's ok if you have a good contextual internal link to throw in, just don't overdo it.

 

Showing the spider one thing and the user another.

 

Thanks for the information...

 

You have no control over manual penalties (never even heard of that) or sand box effect. That is done by the search engines!

Did you just compile a list of stuff you found on the internet? Cause this all over the place!

 

Thanks for sharing your tips!

 

Thanks for the information, I now understand what you mean and am every so great full for your help

 

Thank you for the valuable information.

 

Yeah, right. That would explain why Wikipedia ranks so poorly on so many terms...

 

Contextual links within a site can be good. They provide the "breadcrumbs" for visitors to easily navigate your site. Make sure they are relevant though.

 

There's absolutely nothing wrong with buying links if done correctly.

 

i know most seo experts doesnt suggest dup content..i myself also dont recommend it..but a few weeks ago..what i did is bought an article for a keyword that was ranking on top..from a site which was at #1 for it and paste it on my site..believe it or not my site went from page 5 to page one for that keyword..Google is weired

 

Thanks for the suggestions. Sandbox effect is not something we do, its something that google uses for analyzing the worthiness of new sites.

 

yaa that's good information its very usefull to increase SERP

 

This list is dated and irrelevant. You can't just spew general information like this, you'll give people the wrong idea. To say cloaking is bad, you obviously do not know enough about cloaking. Everything you mentioned has either been eliminated because of the canonicalization update in google, or it's been removed from the algorythm entirely.

If you really want to know about what and what-not to do, read about SEO best practices on one of the MANY authoritative SEO blogs. I'm not going to sit here and give you a list of links, you will find them. The best sites I can recommend are seobook, seomoz, wolf-howl, etc..
