Top 6 SEO Most Common Mistakes To Avoid by IdJack(m): 7:27am On Sep 14, 2021
I have compiled a list of top 6 SEO most common mistakes to avoid. you from being placed at the top of search engine results. I look at a lot of sites on a daily basis.

There are a lot of common problems I see on websites. Some people may have tags set-up improperly or use tags that have no real purpose.

It’s safe to say that many do-it-yourselfers may have at least one of these mistake on their sites. These should help you omit these often costly mistakes and pull you up in the ranks.

Numbers 4 and 6 are the most common mistake

The top 6 SEO most common mistakes to avoid are:

(1) Keyword Tag
A keyword tag is for keywords, but not for any keywords. You can’t just stuff this tag with keywords that your entire site is related to. The tags should reflect keywords only on that particular page; not the entire site and not every keyword you think your site might be searched on.

Also, you should have no more than 20 words in the tag. You should not repeat any word more than 3 times. If you sell tickets, for example, don’t write:

Broadway tickets, circus tickets, hockey tickets, boxing tickets and so on. Do use Broadway, circus, hockey, boxing, tickets and so on.

(2) Abstract Tag

It is sometimes used as a replacement for or combined with a description tag. However, more and more people are using these to stuff keywords. Search engines like Google are interested in what is on the page.

More specifically, what visitors can view. In my opinion, the abstract tag has no place on a site.

(3) Description Tag

The whole point behind this tag is to describe what the page is about. Keywords related to the page should be implemented as well.

The limit on words should be 20, 25. I see many website owners stuffing this tag with keywords, or having a description that is entirely too lengthy. Stay within these guidelines and you will be fine.

After that, pay proper attention to content, it has to be unique and creative. Also, it's a good idea to increase traffic with paid ads and social media. Don't forget, that link building plays the main role.

Keyword tags should be used wisely, focusing on specific keywords for each page instead of stuffing them with everything. And yeah, the abstract tag doesn't really seem necessary - search engines care more about what visitors can actually see. As for other Content Writing Tips, keep it short, simple, and relevant.

Thanks for sharing these common SEO mistakes to avoid! It's crucial for website owners and marketers to be aware of these pitfalls.
I completely agree that the Keyword Tag (mistake #1) is often misused. Filling it with irrelevant keywords can harm your site's SEO rather than improve it. It's essential to be precise and specific with your keywords, ensuring they relate to the content on the particular page.
