10 Costly Search Engine Mistakes to Avoid

Hi Everybody,
If you have a website then you already know the importance of traffic. Traffic is to Internet marketing as location is to real estate. It's the only thing that really matters. If you cannot generate targeted visitors to your site, you will not make any sales.

Usually the owner or designer of the website is the person designated to drive traffic to the site. The chief ingredient in generating traffic is the search engine. Of coarse, you can use advertising, but it's going to cost you. Using the search engines to generate targeted (interested in your product) traffic is the least expensive method known.

Unfortunately, many website owners do not understand the importance of search engine visibility, which leads to traffic. They place more importance on producing a "pretty" website. Not that this is bad, but it is really secondary to search engine placement. Hopefully, the following list of common mistakes, made by many website owners, will help you generate more targeted traffic to your site...after all, isn't that what you want.

1. Not using keywords effectively

2. Repeating the same keywords

3. Robbing pages from other websites

4. Using keywords that are not related to your website

5. Keyword stuffing

6. Relying on hidden text

7. Relying on tiny text

8. Assuming all search engines are the same

9. Using free web hosting

10. Forgetting to check for missing web page elements
