Hello Nairalanders, I am Dealwap, the founder of Naija Coders Team(www.nct.com.ng). Today i will be taking my time to explain to you some SEO mistakes you should avoid if you want to rank higher in Search Engine.

Please kindly follow me gently and ensure you digest every single piece of information in this tutorial.

Some years back i created a blog for sharing informations relating to supporting bloggers with useful tutorials to help them succeed, you know what i did? I paid a website to get huge backlinks directed to my website but unfortunately, after some months i noticed my blog has suddenly disappeared from search engine.

I became so shocked to as what may be the sudden cause of the disappearance then i traced back my steps to how i started the SEO settings of my blog, i suddenly remembered the Backlinking i paid for.

After critical analysis i beame aware that most of the sites i was linked to were sites which has been flagged as SPAM by google.

Then an old saying came to my mind which says, ''Birds Of A Feather Flocks Together.'' Alas! I got it figured out contacted those webmasters to remove my website link from their database.

I never did got my site fully back so i had to shut down the blog and find something else to do but i learnt my lesson in a bitter way .

Lets leave out the story but am sure you have gained one thing or the other the main you should understand is bad neighbours will affect SEO badly!!!

know the type of links you allow search engine to follow on your website.

Never buy backlinks i repeat, never buy backlinks! It is very harmful to the growth of your site. Link to quality websites and let them link back to you, if by any means you want to allow guest post, thoroughly check the guest website to ensure it is not violating google's privacy as this can risk the health of your blog.
