Not Having Mobile Friendly Pages<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>By the release of <strong>&#8220;mobilegeddon&#8221;<\/strong>, this is become #1 SEO mistake. On April 21, 2015, Google released a new mobile-friendly algorithm. The main target of this update is to provide a better user experience to mobile users.<\/p>\n<p>As a result of this update, whenever someone is using Google on mobile, he will see mobile friendly pages and other will be shown after them. For example, you searched for &#8220;make money blogging&#8221; on your mobile and mobile friendly pages will appear first. That&#8217;s means, it will give a boost of <strong>traffic to responsive websites<\/strong>. If you visit <strong>Blogging House<\/strong> on your mobile or different devices then it will work on all devices.<\/p>\n<p>Due to this update, many non-responsive websites have lost their ranking and responsive websites have gained many new visitors. Many top websites\u00a0lost their visitors. If your website is not responsive or mobile friendly then contact your web developer.<\/p>\n<p>You can test whether your website is mobile friendly or not, by using this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/webmasters\/tools\/mobile-friendly\/\" target=\"_blank\">tool<\/a>. If you are using WordPress, then install a responsive theme. Most of paid WordPress themes are responsive. Here is an article which will help you to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.blogginghouse.com\/how-to-choose-a-wordpress-theme\/\">choose a WordPress theme<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Building_Backlinks_Without_High-Quality_Content\"><\/span>2. Building Backlinks Without High-Quality Content<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>One of the biggest SEO mistakes new bloggers made, they build thousands of backlinks without building high-quality content on their blog. First of all, content is king. You should create linkable and good content on your blog. A website without content is like a <strong>fish without water.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There is a difference between High-Quality and Low-Quality content.<\/p>\n<p>Low-Quality content is which is written for search engines means including keyword stuffing. Not have much word\u00a0in the articles (your article should have at least 1000 words). Copied content is also considered as low-quality content. Building <strong>content<\/strong> is more important than backlinks.<\/p>\n<p>If we talk about building backlinks than the\u00a0quality of backlinks matters not quantity, one <strong>high-quality<\/strong> backlink is batter then thousand low quality. Low-quality backlinks include\u00a0spamming or commenting for the sake of a link. Guest posting on different websites is considered as a good way for making backlinks and getting traffic.<\/p>\n<p>Due to less content and bad backlinks, many websites are got banned from Google.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Thin_Content\"><\/span>3. Thin Content<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>As you know that the quality of content is the\u00a0most important thing is SEO. If we talk about quality\u00a0then there are some factors to keep in mind. Your each post of your\u00a0website should have at least 500 words (I recommend\u00a01000 words).<\/p>\n<p>A 400 words article is really easy to write, but you can&#8217;t rank and your blog may receive penalties from Google. On the other hand, an article with 1000 words will improve your search engine ranking and it will provide the better user experience. In a\u00a0short article, you don&#8217;t clear and explain things. Whereas in a long article, each and everything will describe\u00a0step by step which will loved by visitors.<\/p>\n<p>I know, long is not always better, but it is usually better. Long articles get more hits, shares, and links. Why? because it clears all the concepts and it rank better on search engines than short articles.<\/p>\n<p>According to <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.serpiq.com\/how-important-is-content-length-why-data-driven-seo-trumps-guru-opinions\/\" target=\"_blank\">SerpIq<\/a>, an\u00a0average length of articles on the\u00a0first page of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.google.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Google<\/a> is more than 2,000 words.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Keyword_Stuffing\"><\/span>4. Keyword Stuffing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>It is one of the most oldest SEO bad techniques. Keywords stuffing is an attempt to create a lot of keywords or repeat keywords many times in an article. Posting a keyword many times also known as keyword stuffing. You may think that\u00a0with this you can rank easily, but an\u00a0extreme use of keywords will penalize your website. Keyword Stuffing can destroy your grammar, user-experience and rank on Google.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_538\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-538\" style=\"width: 490px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.blogginghouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/example-of-keyword-stuffing.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-538\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogginghouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/example-of-keyword-stuffing.png\" alt=\"example of keyword stuffing\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.blogginghouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/example-of-keyword-stuffing.png 500w, https:\/\/www.blogginghouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/example-of-keyword-stuffing-300x180.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-538\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">An example of keyword stuffing<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>How To Avoid Keyword Stuffing?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>First of all keep in mind, you don&#8217;t have to use any shortcut of bad technique. These following things you can do to keep your\u00a0keyword density neutral.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Avoid incorrect sentences that you are using for keywords.<\/li>\n<li>Increase length of the article. If you are writing 500 words then write 1000.<\/li>\n<li>Place your keywords wisely, add\u00a0synonyms.<\/li>\n<li>Avoid overuse of keywords.<\/li>\n<li>Remove invisible content or hidden links.<\/li>\n<li>Quality is king, keep in mind that you don&#8217;t have to lose quality of your blog.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Selecting_High_Competition_Keywords\"><\/span>5. Selecting High Competition Keywords<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In the post <a href=\"http:\/\/www.blogginghouse.com\/how-to-rank-keywords-without-backlinks\/\">rank keywords without backlinks<\/a>, I have explained that you have to select right keywords for your website which you can easily rank. If you select high competition keywords then your page will not appear in top results, maybe not appear in top 10 pages. Which means, you can&#8217;t get traffic.<\/p>\n<p>Usually, short keywords have high competition. These keywords may have a great search volume or traffic but If your website don&#8217;t appear there then what benefit you get?<\/p>\n<p>Long tail keywords are easy to rank and you can find low competition keywords easily. That&#8217;s why they are recommended. A simple example of long tail keyword is this:<\/p>\n<p>Short keyword: &#8220;WordPress&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Long Tail Keyword: &#8220;install WordPress on localhost&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>There are many tools which you can use to check keyword density and find long tail keywords. Some of the tools are SEMrush, MOZ keyword density check or Google Keyword Planner.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some of the ways to find long tail keywords:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Search for a keyword in Google and check related search results.<\/li>\n<li>Use tools like HitTail, Long Tail Pro etc.<\/li>\n<li>Google Keyword Planner can help you in all the ways.<\/li>\n<li>Have a look on your incoming search terms.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Not_Optimizing_Images\"><\/span>6. Not Optimizing Images<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Images on Google can be clickable and a source of traffic. Optimizing images is also a part of SEO.<\/p>\n<p>One of the\u00a0biggest mistake that bloggers made, they forgetting about optimizing images. As you know that Google and other search engines can&#8217;t read content on images, they rank them by using their names, caption etc. Often bloggers leave their images with bad file names like 12434.jpg, which is bad.<\/p>\n<p>For photography and images websites, it is the most important step for their SEO. By not optimizing images, you will miss a huge part of your traffic.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some of the tips for optimizing images.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>First of all when you are creating images describe them with a good file name like make-money-blogging.png. Use hyphens (-) instead of underscores (_).<\/li>\n<li>Add an alt and description when you are uploading on WordPress.<\/li>\n<li>Use your focus keyword in the\u00a0alt tag, filename, and description of the image. This is used to rank on a keyword.<\/li>\n<li>Try to reduce their file sizes using some tools like Adobe PhotoShop. Reducing file size will reduce bandwidth usage and loading time.<\/li>\n<li>Try to create your own unique images which should be attractive and describing your articles.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Not_Improving_Site_Speed\"><\/span>7.\u00a0Not Improving Site Speed<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Sometimes it is referred as Page Speed. It is one of the most important steps to drive traffic to a website. A visitor does not visit the page if it takes more than 5 seconds to load. If your website is slow then it is a bad news for you. Increasing loading time means bounce rate is also increasing.<\/p>\n<p>Search Engines also hate loading time but if your website is fast then everyone will love it. Page speed also affects SEO.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some of the tools to test speed a website and take actions on the report.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Pingdom Speed Test<\/li>\n<li>Google Page Speed Insights<\/li>\n<li>GTmetrix<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>W3 Total Cache plugin is the favorite choice of WordPress users. It is the plugin which is used to improve the\u00a0speed of a WordPress website.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_533\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-533\" style=\"width: 581px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.blogginghouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/testing-page-speed-pingdom.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-533\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogginghouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/testing-page-speed-pingdom.png\" alt=\"pingdom speed test\" width=\"591\" height=\"186\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.blogginghouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/testing-page-speed-pingdom.png 591w, https:\/\/www.blogginghouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/testing-page-speed-pingdom-300x94.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 591px) 100vw, 591px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-533\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Testing Speed On Pingdom<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Your web hosting also plays an important role in the\u00a0speed of a website. Select a good web hosting which is faster and load websites quickly.<\/p>\n<p>As I have mentioned in the above topic, try to reduce the\u00a0file size of images to make your page load faster.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Copied_Content\"><\/span>8. Copied Content<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>I think this is one of the most common SEO mistakes that newbies make in their start-ups. Copying content from\u00a0websites is really simple and easy, but <strong>it is spammy<\/strong>. With copied content, your website may get penalized.<\/p>\n<p>Copied content will harm your ranking of your domain and you should forget about SEO if you are copying content. Websites who copy content, usually get traffic from social media websites by spamming. They can&#8217;t survive long, many of them are banned from Google.<\/p>\n<p>Should not you copy content? O.K carefully read. Here are risks of copying content across domains:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Your website may got penalized on Google.<\/li>\n<li>The website owner (whose you copied content) may take actions against you.<\/li>\n<li>Your readers will not stay on your website.<\/li>\n<li>You will not get any traffic from search engines<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you have not copied content but some else did this from your website then you have to take actions against him. <a href=\"http:\/\/copyscape.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Copyscape<\/a> is a tool which is used to find copied content on your website.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to remove the content which is copied from your website then follow these steps:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Go to <a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/legal\/troubleshooter\/1114905\" target=\"_blank\">Google DMCA Page<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Select for Blogger if copycat&#8217;s website is hosted on blogger otherwise select web search.<\/li>\n<li>Now select &#8220;I have a legal issue\u00a0that is not mentioned above&#8221;.<\/li>\n<li>If it will ask that you are the copyright owner or not then say Yes!

Duplicate Content<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There is a difference between duplicate content and copied content. Copied content means the\u00a0content is copied from any other domain or website. On the other hand, duplicate content means the\u00a0content is found on more than one place on the same website.<\/p>\n<p>Duplicate content confuses the search engines and they have many disadvantages. They may cause problems in your ranking and you may not get good rank which you can get without duplicate content. Some of the causes of duplicate content are here:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>URL parameters. Like example.com\/?ref=123<\/li>\n<li>Printer Friendly URL<\/li>\n<li>Session IDs<\/li>\n<li>Sometimes\u00a0capitalization errors also cause duplicate content<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>First of all set preferred domain in Webmaster Tools.

This tool usually seems good but it has many disadvantages. Some of them are here:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>They are low-quality articles.<\/li>\n<li>Not caring about grammar.<\/li>\n<li>Articles generated by article spinners are just trash. Readers hate them<\/li>\n<li>Google hates low-quality articles.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Sometimes people create spun articles without using any tool. Means, rewriting articles manually.
