You don\u2019t want to spend hours optimizing a site only to realise that the tactics you used no longer works. &nbsp;Stop these SEO Practices listed below as they won\u2019t do any good to your online presence.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Just Create Content and Links will follow<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>You need both content and backlinks. <strong>&nbsp;<\/strong>And you need to promote that content.<strong> &nbsp;<\/strong>Without content, what would you optimize for search engines? But content is just one part of ranking Puzzle. The problem with Phrase \u201cContent is king\u201d is that it\u2019s too vague and many have come to understand this as creating tons of content and in the process turning content which is crap.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>By creating million words of content and spinning it repeatedly, you are not adding any value to the already crammed internet.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not just alone about the quantity of content. It\u2019s a fallacy that adding more content to your website will help you achieve high rankings.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Good content should be about<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>&nbsp;Quality<\/li>\n<li>Uniqueness and it should be<\/li>\n<li>Relevant &#8211; It must be informative, engaging, and helpful.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>SEO is Only about links<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>There is NO need to stop focussing on links.

So only focusing on links is probably going to cause more problems for your web site that actually helps\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Your site is not going to rank on content alone, but it\u2019s also true that lack of links is not the only reason why your site is languishing on the second or third page. Broken links, Page load speed, comprehensiveness of your content are also contributing factors.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s another matter that you can\u2019t take links completely out of SEOequation either. But more backlinks does not translate to high rankings.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>You can\u2019t engage visitors by creating shallow or thin content<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.digitalsuccess.us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/DS_Blog-SEO2.png?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1997\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.digitalsuccess.us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/DS_Blog-SEO2.png?resize=550%2C336&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"SEO Experts Dallas\" width=\"550\" height=\"336\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.digitalsuccess.us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/DS_Blog-SEO2.png?w=450&amp;ssl=1 450w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.digitalsuccess.us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/DS_Blog-SEO2.png?resize=300%2C183&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>SEO is dead<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yes, SEO is dead, but it\u2019s the old school SEO.

They can still work, but you need to be very careful about on-page and link building as threshold for over-optimization has decreased.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Google is the only Search Engine<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s no doubt about Google\u2019s supremacy, it\u2019s the King! &nbsp;But there are other Search engines out there. &nbsp;From March 2017 to September 2017, 1.18 billion unique global visitors had visited Bing.com. &nbsp;And YouTube \u2013 the world\u2019s second largest search engine can be a source of valuable traffic as well. You don\u2019t want to focus exclusively on Google and leave potential traffic on the Table!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>No need to focus on Onpage SEO \/ Ignore On Page SEO&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Simply put, on page SEO is ground zero, the place where you start from. It\u2019s the foundation. A house with weak foundation will collapse sooner than later.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The importance of on page seo can be summed up by what Andre Weyher &#8211; EX-Member of Matt Cutts&#8217;s Search Quality team had to say &#8211;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople are so focused on putting the most expensive fuel in their car (backlinks) that they totally forget about the basics like putting wheels on it (on page elements). On page tactics are often overlooked, while in reality they should be a key element in your SEO strategy\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Neglect on Page SEO at your own peril.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Meta keywords tag are a ranking factor<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"SEO Dallas\" href=\"https:\/\/www.digitalsuccess.us\/blog\/important-meta-tags-2016-seo.html?utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Referral\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Google stopped using it long time ago<\/a> . It\u2019s shocking to see people still vouching for it\u2019s effectiveness. And we are in 2018!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>That does not mean that keyword research is dead. We need to organize keywords into topics, look for searcher intent and need to write authoritative content.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You need to have a certain % keyword density<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>There is no keyword density sweet spot. &nbsp;It is pertinent to note what <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.seoclerk.com\/faq\/15095\/What-s-the-ideal-keyword-density-Matt-Cutts-discusses-video\">Matt Cutts has to say<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cconstantly repeating a keyword\/phrase over and over is more like keyword stuffing and won&#8217;t really help your SEO and can actually hurt your search engine ranking. \u201c<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>That was way back in 2012. It still holds true. Matt Cutts may have resigned, but his wisdom still reigns.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Search engines are not going to buy your products. Users will. So, why not write for them instead of harping on keyword density.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The future is long tail keyword phrases. Embrace Semantic search. Search engines are able to better grasp search queries. You need to keep the searcher intent at the back of your mind.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Too much focus on directory submission<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The only directories we should chase are either Niche directories (for example Local directories) or directories which sends traffic to our site. Some pointers to judge the effectiveness of a directory \u2013<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Is the directory indexed in search engines? Is the Home page indexed?<\/p>\n<p>When the last time the home page was indexed? Google indexing the page every few days suggests that the directory is updated regularly.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Are search spiders allowed to crawl the pages? Check robots.txt file.<\/li>\n<li>Does meta tags prevent spiders from following links?<\/li>\n<li>Are there too many links on the page where you intend to put the listing? Visitors as well as bots will have a hard time locating your site if your link is among 100+ other links.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Don\u2019t count on directory submission exclusively, these should be a very small part of link strategy.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>SEO is NOT a one and Done Process<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>SEO is a Marathon, not a 100-meter race.
