SEO (Search Engine Optimization) has been one of the best ways to implement into your websites and blogs to gain more traffic to your search. Gaining a higher ranking on the search engines’ results list takes bringing on great content. Content is king and it’s important to write using relevant keywords in order to bring in consistent and continuous traffic to your site.
- Avoid using Javascript to write your content as this type of web language does not index too well on the search engines and it will be hard to get your website content on display through the search engines. This does includes the script Ajax and scripts that are used to show and hide text.
- Avoid using images to replace text links as search engines will have a difficult time finding your site and ranking it too. The search engines use their spider features looking for links to add to search results. Also using images instead of text will make your web pages load slower so it’s best to use text links.
- No misspelling of your keywords in your content as it will easily hurt your credibility and trust with potential clients. Clients who know the correct way to spell words will see the misspelling as unprofessional and not taking the time to review the website for errors.
- Try to avoid using more than 3 keywords and phrases with your optimization as it will easily confuse the search engines as there will be too many topics on the page. It’s recommended to write small paragraphs on each topic in order to get the relevant keywords and phrases on the page.
- Watch the amount of keywords in your URL and try to not have more than 10 words in your URL link. Putting keywords in your URLS is important however having a long URL will put your site on the spam side.
You have some good suggestions here.
#4 – I usually use 3 to 5 keywords per page. Especially since Google is liking more content on a page, it gives you more room to use your keywords and rank for more keywords.
What about content Can we use Keyword in Description as well to rank better.
Thanks for the tips that we should not do in seo. I have also done this mistake of having a long url and showing the result in webmaster tools I see the crawling error for that long url…
Using more than 3 keywords is not at all bad for SEO. Some search engines will see it as keyword spamming if you use more than 10 to 15 keywords but 3 would almost be a waste of time IMO.
I didn't realize using more than 3 keyword was bad thing. I normally use 5-7 words but I guess it comes down to the topic and what a blogger is talking about.
