Learning how to grow your blog traffic and performing SEO can become very exhausting, because the information you learn today may become out-of-date tomorrow. There are lots of SEO mistakes to avoid.<\/span><\/p>\n

I know a number of bloggers who write blog posts just for the purpose of spreading out content and then stuff keywords in order to get their posts to rank higher in the Search Engine.<\/span><\/p>\n

It may look like a good idea at first, but Google ain\u2019t that stupid hon. Google\u2019s Algorithms are continuously developing and improving to become more smart and intuitive.<\/span><\/p>\n

They filter out lots of spammers and copycats on a daily basis. And they are constantly evolving, so don\u2019t even think of trying to outsmart this search Engine.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, if you know what SEO error you can avoid, your posts will automatically rank higher. By not making these mistakes. Google will start taking your blog seriously!<\/span><\/p>\n

And that\u2019s specifically what you should be aiming for.<\/span><\/p>\n

But Before I get into all the SEO mistakes you should avoid, let me instruct you with how search engines work.<\/span><\/p>\n

How does Google Actually Work?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Google sends itsy bitsy spiders to crawl pages on the internet. One the page is crawled by Google\u2019s spiders; it\u2019s combined to the search engine index.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, when you search for any team, say \u201cWebsite Design Templates<\/strong><\/a>\u201d, you are seeing all the pages in Google\u2019s index.<\/span><\/p>\n

But how are those pages ranked?<\/span><\/p>\n

Google has over the 200+ ranking factors. If you are constantly writing great content but are still not ranking on Google, then you are probably making a few SEO mistakes.<\/span><\/p>\n

But the good news is that once you know the major SEO mistakes to avoid, you can connect them and start ranking higher almost immediately!<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Not Optimizing Your Blog\u2019s Speed<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"Optimizing<\/p>\n

A slow website is an awful website. Remember, We live in a day where almost anything can be taken by a click of a button.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, optimize your website\u2019s speed. Your users will thank you and this will keep your bounce rate low.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Poor Quality Content<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"Poor<\/p>\n

There is no cost of SEO that can save low-quality content. You need to target for evergreen content that\u2019s very helpful, well-formatted and thorough. Let me explain why.<\/span><\/p>\n

Google is regularly focusing on whether you are providing the search users what they are asking for.<\/span><\/p>\n

Imagine you are ranking on the first page as the second result on Google search for a particular long-tail keyword.<\/span><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s pretend someone searches for that keyword you are currently ranking for and clicks on the first results.<\/span><\/p>\n

The first post does not really answer their question, so they go after and click on the next result which is yours! Your post is really helpful. And they end up reading that post and multiple posts in your blog that you have linked to.<\/span><\/p>\n

Google Understands that people are spending more time on your Blogs so it would mean that your blog post is much better than the first post. It will change the first result with your post. Basically, you will start outranking everyone else!<\/span><\/p>\n

However, the same thing can follow if you were the first result and your quality is not up to the mark. If Google finds that different posts are better than yours, your ranking can go down.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Not Focusing On Backlinks<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Link building is a very powerful technique in order to rank higher. When alternative websites with high domain authority link to you, you accordingly go up in Google\u2019s eyes. Because this tells Google that your blog is very informative.<\/span><\/p>\n

Only Focusing on good quality links will improve your search ranking.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the beginning, it can not be easy to focus on getting backlinks, but there are many ways to do this without going crazy.<\/span><\/p>\n
