    The main mistake, most of them dont know what they are doing. In SEO you should spend more time in analysis, then act accordingly. Planning holds a great role in Optimization, you can't just start building links all of a sudden.

    New bloggers make these mistakes very often. The target wrong keywords, ignore title tag, concentrate too much on meta tags, backlink spamming, duplicate contents and still lack of keywords in content.

    Many of our new clients come to us with an existing website…a website that has done little for their practice. I can usually guess the problems I will find before I ever see their pages. Despite the fact that basic search engine optimization tactics are available to anyone willing to read, I see the same signs of negligent web development over and over again.

    It's my belief that search engine optimization and web development are not separate disciplines. Effective web sites are built with the search engines in mind. Here are some of the most common mistakes we see when search engine optimization is an afterthought.

    Nice point of view and really good points. But some more mistakes which many of us apply to receive more traffic and later on get banned. Such intentionally happening mistakes are:
    - cloaking
    - Doorway pages
    - Hidden affiliate link
    - Copying others content
    - keyword stuffing
