These mistakes could ruin your entire SEO campaign

    Just to the point

    1. Do not choose keywords you would use to describe your topic. You need to find keyword phrases your visitors would use. You can find out more about popular keywords and their search volume by using Google AdWords or using your visitor counter to get an idea of the keywords your visitors searched for before clicking on your pages. Use up to five main keyword phrases but try finding some secondary keywords for specific sections of your website.

    2. You should not assume that your XML sitemap will help search engine spiders index all your pages. An XML sitemap is useful only if your website is properly organized and if all your pages are optimized with strong keywords and filled with quality content. You should work on the structure of your website by creating more links between your different pages and optimizing these links with strong keywords.

    3. Creating back-links is not a task you will have to do only once. You need to always look for ways to create more back-links to get more visitors. The quality of your back-links has a huge impact on the success of your SEO campaign and website. Do not spend your time sharing links by commenting on blogs and news stories or posting on random message boards. You need to focus on getting some quality back-links that will be noticed by the visitors you want to target, for instance by establishing partnerships with other webmasters who are interested in featuring your content or getting some interesting articles featured by online magazines.

    4. Do not forget to optimize the elements search engine spiders cannot read. This includes your Java Script and Flash elements. If you use Java Script for your menu, your links will not necessarily be accessible to search engine spiders. You should also optimize your images with some alt tags and integrate videos or your Podcast by adding a title and a description filled with keywords.

    5. You should not approach search engine optimization as something you will have to do once. There are always ways of improving your SEO campaign and optimizing your content further. Besides, it is very important to stay up to date with new SEO trends since search engines always look for new methods to analyze and index content. The SEO strategies you use might become obsolete if search engines start using very different methods. Subscribe to blogs or newsletters from search engine optimization experts to stay up to date with the latest trends.

    Hope it helps :)

    Yes... Creating backlinks is a regular process. It must be done regularly to keep your rankings.

    A good way to figure out or "find keyword phrases your visitors would use" is to use the Google Adwords keyword tool to get the core keyword, then go to Google Suggests or Wordtracker Questions, which will give you an idea based on actual questions people typed in using the keyword.

    As for links, continually adding quality links would be optimal, but if you develop dozens or hundreds of sites it may become impractical. Building a site based on low-competition keywords on a microniche topic (under 5000 searches a month) is often all that is needed to rank highly (say page 2), and one pass of quality links may be all that is needed to put it on page 1. If done right, the site will then build more links naturally without your further pushing the issue with more artificial back linking, which Google doesn't like anyway.

    Good saying .... but he would recommend to not spend on backlinking and create more content, do one hour to backlinking and guest posting per day make a strategy otherwise you will be demotivated in the first month... be organized is the secret

    What I would say that everything you do, try to create something unique, new so that they would easily be indexed and they would be treated with quality, and you would get ranking accordingly.

    Link building is a challenging task. This is a continuous process. While you may set goals for this particular task and stop once you've reach it, you need to check on your links from time to time and keep on building them through various methods.

    Hope that helps. Have a good day!
