Hi, I am an Search Engine Optimizer with good experience and come across many things. I have seen that many people asking for many questions regarding how and what to do in SEO. One main thing we have to concentrate on "What Not To Do in SEO" also. This also plays very crucial role in ranking our websites in search engines. I am Sharing my views: 1. In on-page optimization, your main keywords should not be repeated in all the title tags, meta tags, descriptions. Should be used in mix of other words. 2. Should not build all backlinks with single keyword. 3. Avoid mass link building 4. Avoid Reciprocal link building 5. Avoid maximum outgoing links These are few things should avoid and i hope may useful to you, i will be sharing some more things also. Kindly share your suggestions for "what not to do in SEO" may useful to all of us. Thank you
Avoid Reciprocal link building ??? I don't think its a No No for SEO, Reciprocal links also helps in get good results.
I would add: >>don't get links from a page which already has too many links on it >>don't get links from link farms >>don't get links from sites which are not related to your theme >>don't accept redirect links, which means you enter a different site url and a different site opens...
never use hidden text on your site. if u do that, then it call black hat seo techniques & it is hated by google.
reciprocal linking is not completely banned by Google, but they do not like it that much either. Excessive reciprocal linking does damage to your websites serps.
#3 is the best point to make - don't overdo backlinks, especially not in short periods of time. If you don't have the traffic to match the volume of links you'll likely be penalised for it.
What the "don'ts" come down to is a single, immutable fact. Don't try to game the search engines There are no shortcuts. If you follow W3C recommendations when it comes to document structure, then you have pretty much done your SEO work (what most people around here call on-page optimization). After that you need to promote your site (what most around here call off-site SEO). If you think of it in terms of site promotion rather than SEO you will remain on much firmer ground. You are trying to promote the site to increase traffic. If you increase traffic and if the site has any worth, then the rankings will follow with time. If you are trying to game the SE's, then any gains will be temporary at best. The above, of course, applies to legit sites that are looking for sustained growth. A different strategy is to go black hat with disposable domains and make quick money over and over. That is a tough field to play in though. High risk and high reward.
Thanks for the information, it's incredibly useful. I've been warned about link building in the past, but are there "ball-park" figures for what Google deems as excessive? I've linked to a number of directories (not on a reciprocal), and I'm about to start building backlinks, so this info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Hi bloomsden and all repliers thanks for you all for informative replies and specially bloomsden for a best thread
Not agree with this....buying links is risk if you buying on broker with script But if you bought natural link such as on forum or else (without script) it's more safe and useful.
