Avoid bad SEO practice and make search engines fall in love with your blog

I have been noticing Google wasn’t listing my posts. It’s only then I have decided to check things out and improve SEO for my blog. I have installed all in one SEO pack and Google sitemap generator for my blog and after a day, I figured things are gradually improving. I have got all of my posts listed on Google within a day! Okay they worked like a charm I know :D but consider the fact that, many blogs out there don’t even get listed within the first month! I should be a lucky blogger then! :D and of course indeed, I am happy about it. So any plans to do more SEO job? Of course yes! But I don’t want to loose my ranking because of doing something wrong. SEO is a tight game. If you do something wrong, your rankings might fall rapidly, even within a day may be! Worst case scenario, you might get banned by search engines. That means no traffic, no page views and no blog popularity. Your blog is dead! So make sure you know what not to do and what search engines love. Put your blog on safe side by doing good SEO job.

Grab too many links too fast and kill your blog

Link building is an essential part of search engine Optimization. Get your blog as many links as possible but don’t do it like crazy and don’t do it like you are driving a Formula 1 car! You are doing search engine optimization, and getting thousands of links within a days is not a good practice at all. Avoid black hat search engine optimization. Don’t get too many links form the same IP. Be careful when you get anchor links, don’t get links with same anchor text. If you are on the process of getting links, don’t stop it. Otherwise search engine spiders might think your site is no longer useful since no site or blog is linking to your blog.

Try to cheat search engines and get busted!

If you tease a monkey, what do you expect in return? A kiss from the monkey? Sweet! Dude you’re smart :D ! how about a deadly kiss that smells like an ass of a 80 years old? :D

Well anyway, If you want to save your ass, don’t cheat a search engine. Search engines are like mean girls, you cheat to improve your ranking and you are getting loved by them but whenever they figured out you are cheating on them, you can’t run to save your ass! Search engines will nail you down! So Don’t do anything that you think will help your rankings which is a cheating. Don’t add too many keywords or repeat the same keywords in title, keyword and description tag. Don’t mess up your posts with too many keywords.

Incase of submitting on directories, try to avoid using the same title and description and submit on the appropriate directory.

Keep your site well organized and clean. Unless your site is very popular or art focused, avoid using flashy animations and designs. Your blog or site should always load fast and incase of loading, contents should show up first and then the design. Create sitemap and organize the menu just so it is easy and comfortable to navigate. Try to keep everything simple. Try to inter link within different pages of your site.

No relationship with ghost!

Linking to another site that is already banned is like making love with ghost, which is something your girl friend or fiancé would never appreciate. So why do you think the search engines will? This is why it is important that you should never exchange links with a banned site. If you exchange, you might get banned too! Remove the links from the banned site as soon as possible.

I guess you’ve got a picture of do’s and don’ts? If you ever get busted, undo what you did wrong right after you have identified what you did wrong.
