Ha-ha, actually, to Google, all SEO is a big mistake.
Unfortunately, if you go 100% by the books and do everything the way Google wants you to do, you will be always outranked by more adventurous and less ethical guys. You wanna know why? Because Google does not have efficient means of keeping these guys at bay yet. The only keywords you can rank high for using all white-hat methods are the keywords nobody else wants. This is the reality.
Perhaps things will change in the future and Google will really manage to "level the field" for everyone. If this happens, I will use only legitimate ways to build my google search engine ranking. Until then, there will be no way for me to avoid grey-hat techniques entirely.

 

One of the top SEO mistake will be Keyword stuffing and following black hat SEO technique.

 

On top of that, low quality contents!

 

to chime in on JohnKets list, I totally agree with being careful and aware of those mistakes but I would just like to point out something about press releases and the "mistake" of publishing it on more than one website.

Press release syndication is not the same as article marketing or blog content marketing. The very nature of press release syndication requires that the press release article remain intact and unchanged. This of course is going under the assumption that these are high quality authority type sites that are syndicating the press releases.

 

add some more-

1.Targeting 2 or 3 keywords.
2.Submitting same article or press-release more than one website
3. keywords stuffing in content
4. Using poor directory for submission

 

SEO is very deep

 

Another biggest mistake in seo is to use black hat seo and breaking the Google's guidelines.

 

I agree above statement.

 

Thanks for sharing your views with us. Sure there are plenty more seo mistakes but i want to focus on those that it seems everybody has forgot.

 

I am agree with your post.Most of the time innocent people hire black hat seo and they make them suffer a lot and result is that they lose their money and site reputation both.

 

i have to admit that you are perfectly right.. thanks for sharing that with us

 

Thanks for sharing these tips,they are really helpful.

 

You are most welcome man .. i will come back with more of that type...

 

Hiring someone that doesn't have a clue what they are doing ..........

 

I think the biggest mistake you can make in SEO is to focus on SEO. Sure, you need to follow certain guidelines to get your page ranked, but in the end the human visitor will be deciding on the quality of your content. Time is better spent in delivering content of higher quality than trying to push low-quality content to a larger number of people.

Pushing low-quality content to a large number of people only means you're getting bad reputation quickly.

 

You are absolutely right man .. there is no succes on pure white hat you need a little grey in there .

But there is also some things very important to succed with your grey hat strategy. You absolutely have to obey some rules that Google says cause otherwise is so difficult.
