6 SEO Mistakes to Avoid On Your Website
Written by PLRMan on February 21, 2009 – 10:10 am -Many people who are just starting an internet marketing business have very basic knowledge of search engine optimization (SEO) techniques.Beginners want their websites to rank well without realizing search engines might have issues with their pages. This article presents 6 SEO mistakes to avoid on your website.
1.Frames - Many novice page builders use frames to organize their web pages. The problem is that search engines have a hard time tracking content inside the frames. The search engines cannot distinguish which frame contains the main content, so they could be tracking something not conducive to SEO for your website.
2.Flash - Flash is a popular way to make you website stand out.This might look good, but in terms of SEO, it means nothing. Search engines cannot read Flash files, so you should avoid using Flash unless you are certain that your website can generate massive traffic by word of mouth.
3.Keyword Stuffing - Using too many keywords will cause your page ranking to go down.Having too many keywords causes search engines to think that your page is being spammed or that it is artificially created.Search engines want unique content.
4. Keyword Hiding – This goes along with the previous mistake. Attempting to make keywords that are colored the same as your background, and effectively “hiding” them, will cause the search engines to downgrade your page ranking.Again, this is because search engines see spam. Search engines are sensitive, and do not like to be tricked in any way.
5.Text Inside Images - Avoid posting images with a caption embedded into the pixels of the image.It is better to post the image separately from the caption.Search engines use “spiders” to analyze and extract information for page ranking.Spiders will skip over text embedded into an image because they will assume the text is part of the image not stand alone text. If the caption is written as separate HTML, the spiders will read that caption and include it for SEO purposes.
6. Javascript Links – If you use links on your side, you need to make sure to use simple HTML links instead of Javascript controlled links. The spiders will include those links when they are extracting information for ranking.
When an internet marketer is just starting out, search engine optimization can be a daunting challenge. By taking these mistakes into account, however, an internet marketer can be confident that he or she is getting a good start.Avoiding these mistakes as well as implementing other SEO techniques will cause your page to be ranked in no time.
