This article highlights some very common SEO mistakes so that you can read them beforehand and stay away from making. It actually helped me to make my local SEO more effective.
Indeed a great post about SEO mistakes.
According to me, Search engine optimization is something which can make our future If we do it the right way.
You have listed most common seo mistakes which almost every blogger is doing.
In order to rank instantly in SERPs, people are trying un-ethical SEO strategies like keyword stuffing, building low quality or spam links.
Keyword stuffing is the most common and worst SEO mistake I have ever seen. People think that filling the article with so many keywords will help them to rank fast.
But It is wrong, Nowadays Google is very much strict for such webmasters and rolling regular updates to kill these webmaster’s work.
Copying articles from other site is also a most common seo mistake and I had also did this mistake when I started my blogging carrier But now I have completely avoided it.
I am completely against keyword stuffing and copying content.
Thanks for listing all the mistakes here so that people can learn about these mistakes and can try to avoid them. 😀
Thank you for acknowledging the directories aspect of seo and it’s importance. It’s less about getting your website in a place that’ll “drive extra traffic” but more so getting a niche relevant link pointing to your local business, which is very important in local seo. Also, the maps statement was funny because in my beginner days, it drove me insane that Google would have slight changes in how they’d write out street names and abbreviations, I thought all my NAP’s were doomed.
Great info graphic. I find some of the most important factors in 3 pack rankings are reviews and adding content to your GMB listing. I next plan to add Google virtual tour as these expand your listing and make it more interactive for your users.
