10 Most common SEO mistakes
Most people stop their SEO campaign because they think it doesn?t work, but in fact in most cases they simply don?t achieve result because of one of the following SEO mistakes:
1. The number of purchased links is
not enough to get the Top 10 rankings on Google. Use the
Free SEO Cost Calculator to find out the number of links which you need in order to get in the Top 10 and make sure you acquire those links before you decide how well your campaign is performing. Without building the amount of backlinks, necessary to outrank your competition, your investments are just useless and pointless.
2. Your newly purchased links stayed alive for
less than 3 months. In this case you won?t see any results because
Google ignores links, which are younger than 3 months old.
3. Your backlink profile may be
over-optimized with exact anchor text match. You can check whether it is or not using our Free SEO Cost Calculator. If your website has this penalty, our tool will let you know how to get rid of it.
4. During the last 3 months your website experienced the
huge increase of referring domains which caused your link building campaign to look suspicious for Google. We can check this for you and show you screenshots with some proof if this was the case. Plus we?ll let you know what to do in this case to make your campaign look natural.
5. The links where built or purchased
only on high PR pages (PR3-PR7). In this case your site rankings may significantly decrease.

6. If more than
95% of the links point to the homepage of your website, it also doesn?t look natural to Google and you also won?t have the results.
7. If built backlinks were not surrounded with content, they may also look suspicious to Google.
8. If new links are built, but your website has very low or no traffic at all, you won?t see any positive improvement on Google either. The links cannot appear from nowhere, so when Google sees no or too low traffic on your site, but many new backlinks appearing, it will consider them as unnatural.

9. Your website may have duplicated content, too little amount of unique content, no robots.txt file, no sitemap set up for Google.
10. The purchased links were
not indexed at all even after 3 months.
