11 Common SEO Mistakes Made by Bloggers & Content Writers

When it comes to SEO articles, there are unfortunate mistakes that happen all the time. Content writers and bloggers think that all it takes is to write a lot of words several times in order to enhance it. This is only true on the surface and is one of the biggest mistakes many of them do. Below, this article will mention 11 of the most common mistakes made in the SEO world by content writers and how to possibly avoid them.

1. Keyword stuffing – No point in writing a lot of words nonstop if they do not make sense.
    
2. Broken Links – Having someone click on a link and it not take them anywhere because you rushed the URL certainly does not add to your credibility.
    
3. Copied work – This goes without saying; copying someone else’s work is not only immoral but makes you look bad in the long run.
    
4. Duplicating work – Just because two articles may be similar does not mean they do not deserve their own unique content.
    
5. Links from non-credible sources – It is great to link to other blogs or work, but linking back to postings that are not only unverifiable but can not be verified is something that should not be done either.
    
6. Optimization is off – This goes back to the other tips above. Having the right keywords is very basic in the world of SEO writing but if you do not use them effectively, what was the point?
    
7. Not being able to reach your site – You can use all the keywords you want but if no one can reach the website, everyone’s time is wasted. You have to be sure your content is properly configured for the best search engines to reach them.
    
8. Using free hosting blogs – Although it might show its appeal due to the low price tag, using free hosting blogs can be detrimental to your existence due to the fact that they really are not flexible for a variety of different things you may want to do.
    
9. Swearing by PageRank – A lot of people use this as a good foundation for where your site ranks, but only going by that is a grave mistake that could cost you dearly.
    
10. Automating Title Tags – Titles are a very important piece to any good blog; by automating it, you are doing yourself a great disservice.
     
11. Sacrificing looks and content – A website and blog can look as great as it wants to, and it may attract a few readers, but if you do not have any substance behind it, no one will stay for long.
