Your biggest SEO mistake till date

In 2012 i blast my site with directory submitter and accidently i got #1 position from top #18 but after few week my site got dropped and never come back in Top 20 :P
 
1) Buying an expired domain and building a website that is in a different niche than the domain's original one. That caused a loss of 6 months and tons of quality content.
2) Pointing all the backlinks to inner pages.
3) Underestimating keyword research. The right picked-up keyword is already 70% success.
 
Changing the permalink structure to add categories three times, i recovered each time but still lots of time wasted.
 
Poor quality backlinks in 2012
I got hit after that and it took too much time to recover.
 
biggest SEO mistakes is done wrongly citation for my one of Google my business that caused my keyword got ranked for different URL but I recovered it soon by mapping it on correct URL.
 
Not taking advantage of my programming skills .
 
Depended too much on KD score from almost all popular tools
Didn't take search intent into account
 
Had a site built out, excellent content, perfect on page, then ordered ' guest posts' from someone to find they were utter shit, nothing more than PBNs, shared IPs, same registrars etc etc etc for 99% of the order and the only other site was a link farm.
 
Local SEO: tried to separate GMB locations (3-4 years ago) and added new user/owner to that GMB and later removed old owner. 18 GMB locations has been suspended. :-(
