Search Engine Donts
Few search engine don’ts:
- Don’t stuff your keyword tag with unrelated keywords, the search engines know your
page is not about ebay, free music downloads, etc because the text on the page doesn’t
back it up.
- Don’t keyword stuff hidden parts of the page - image ‘alt’ tags, comments, etc.
- Don’t keyword stuff, period - don’t repeat the same keywords multiple times in a row
anywhere on the page.
- Don’t use page generation tools - the search engines know them all and can tell which
pages are created by a tool and which manually.
- Don’t duplicate content either within the same site or across multiple sites.
- Don’t hide text by using white text on a white background, small fonts. Even if its
unrelated to your keyword the search engines will see hidden text and blacklist your site!
Any of these can get your site banned, and once banned its extremely difficult to get your
site back in the search engine results.
