Top 5 SEO Mistakes That Bloggers Should Avoid

Top 5 SEO Mistakes

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is a must for every blog to be successful. So, in order to get your blog on the top of the list, SEO should be implemented in a right manner. Over the years, SEO has changed alot.
Basically Google uses an algorithm to index websites on the search result based on multiple factors which keeps on changing time to time.

In this post, I will be discussing some of the most common SEO mistakes made by the bloggers and which should strictly be avoided

Copy-Paste a.k.a. Duplicate Content.

This is the most common mistakes made by the newbies, what they do is open a blog, copy the whole article and paste it onto their blog and then they expect traffic through their copy paste posts. Google will consider is as duplicate content which will badly effect your blog/website. Google wants 'value' content, and for Google the definition of 'value' content is that, the content should be 'unique' and original.
So be unique and post original content. Remember, never underestimate the power of Google ;)


Don't sacrific the content of the blog for design.

Many bloggers don't bother about the quality of posts they are posting on their blogs. They just work hard on adding fancy widgets and customizing their blog template. Some of you might think, if the blog is not properly designed, the visitors won' get attracted to the blog, but this thinking is WRONG. I know the blog template, design etc. matters but the content of the post is more important or I must say the most important. 
The design of your blog is not the factor for which Google indexes your blog in it's search result, the factor for which your blog gets indexed is your blog's content which you are posting. So keep your focus more on the quality of blog posts rather than template and all.


Writing little content

It is another mistake made by bloggers, by posting little content under their blog posts. More content means more keywords relating to your post, and more keywords means It will be easy for Google to index your website, and once your blog has been indexed you'll traffic.


Spamming of backlinks

It is a common misconception that more backlinks are ALWAYS better. Spamming of backlinks could force google to block your blog. What you need is quality backlinks. Making backlinks on blogs with PR 0 or 1 won't help you. Search for blogs which have high PR, do a link exchange with them. If you don't have a blog with PR, make guest posts on high PR blogs, because they won't accept your backlink but will accept your guest post.


Lack of maintenance

If you want to be a successful blogger then you need to update your blog on daily basics. Just writing few posts and expecting huge traffic won't work. If you want to drive huge amount of traffic then you need to make frequent posts on your blog, at least 4 posts a week, and should keep your blog updated.
