7 SEO Mistakes to Avoid!

Big Words/Acronyms SEO

You may have caught yourself using jargon that might be over your clients’ heads. These SEO Experts may know the trade, they just lack the ability to communicate effectively with clients. If you notice that your client has a blank look, you may want to ask if they don’t understand something you’re saying.




Sparkling, White Hat SEO

Don’t get me wrong, white hat is the way to go in SEO. However, some incompetent SEOs may claim that their lack of linkbuilding is due to high moral principles. They put on a facade of “White Hat.” These SEOs either don’t get linkbuilding or they don’t want to put forth the effort to do it. Of course there are plenty of gray/black hat ways of building links. But other linkbuilding methods such as submitting a press release, creating quality linkbait, etc. are legitimate and great for SEO.




Conversion Expert Turned SEO

The Conversion Expert SEO is more uncommon. These SEOs somehow mistakenly believe that user experience is intricately connected with SEO. They carry the label of “Internet Marketer” but they only talk about conversion and design. The idea of increasing traffic rarely crosses their minds




Self-Proclaimed Social Media Expert

The Social Media Expert may have been an SEO who was drawn into the hype of Social Media. He tells the world that he is a Social Media Expert because he knows how to use Facebook and Twitter. He frequently talks about “going viral,” although he has no idea how to go viral. And sadly, he measures his effectiveness based on the number of followers and friends he acquires.




IT Guy

SEO is an IT thing right? Wrong. Unfortunately, the in-house IT guy thinks that SEO belongs to the IT department since it involves algorithms and coding. While SEO may require someone with a bit of HTML skills, it should belong to the marketing department and more specifically a “Search Team.”


Bad Grammar Offshore SEO

We get plenty of emails and comments filled with poor translation grammar. Do you really want someone who’s using a translation tool to do your keyword research? These SEOs may be cheap but not very effective.


Black Hat SEO

The Black Hat SEO should be avoided like the plague. He may get you fast results, but those results will quickly decline after Google notices the spammy tactics around your website. Black Hat SEOs will always take the easy way out and often do more damage than good.

Really good post.

 

Thanks for sharing this -- I enjoyed the visuals & presentation of it.

That was nice of you to post it in here. No different from how everyone shares a link on social media, as long as you know the true owner.

 

Wow !! What a nice post. I really happy for getting this information.

 

Thanks for the warning! Some things were almost completely forget and it should be more attentive in SEO. Article is wonderful in deed!

 

I am not agreeing a complete SEO means a complete web master. How do you think SEO is just for marketing? While SEO encode everything he have to consider design, url, content even search engine preferal coding whether Jquarry, html

 

Pure SEO thinks about traffic from search engines only. So, mrtaxi, design has 0% of influence. If design and conversion rate is included than it is complete internet marketing, not just SEO. SEO is part of that only.

URL, content, coding... That is something that everyone can learn in a month or two. So, the job of SEO specialist is to analyze that things and suggest changes, not to code himself. There are pretty simple rules about that and even if something is not so good on website, that will be less than 5% influence on positions.

Of course conversion rate improvement, design, coding and other stuff are bonus for a SEO and every SEO specialist who works long time will know that things, at least basics, which is enough.

And it is all about business level and budgets.

If someones budget for SEO is just $2000 will it be reasonable to tell him: "you should invest something like $1000 in a new logo, for brand and identity purposes" ? But if SEO for websites worth more than $100.000 is done then considering new logo for $1000 is ok. Someone who is looking for big deals will hire a company for thousands of $$ where SEO is just one part of that.

Personally, as I work for projects budgets from $1000 up to $10.000, 60% of my job is pure SEO and 40% is helping a client improve his complete online presence, as conversion rate, website improvements etc...
