What SEO should you avoid ?

In order to earn money the easy way, many SEOs employ unfair means to direct the search engine to their site. These tricks, known as “black hat SEO”, grant only momentary listing. Once the search engine discovers these tricks, the particular SEO is dealt with severely. Apart from these employing these unjust devices, you can boost your chances of success by keeping away from certain things.  

  • Keyword stuffing: The most avoidable thing to do, perhaps, is to stuff the web page with keyword phrases of identical background color. Known as “keyword stuffing”; this can be spotted by search engines and has disastrous consequences like being barred from Google.
  • Invisible text: As dangerous as keyword stuffing, invisible text is regarded as “spammy” by search engines.
  • SEO is such an easy thing to do, and yet since it is widely un-understood, there are a number of SEO schemes around to avoid.
  • When any SEO arbitrarily sends you an e-mail, offering guaranteed ranking for your site, do treat the mail as junk. There is no dearth of fraudulent SEOs. All their claims are immaterial because no SEO can assure you of a ranking in the index of a search engine.

Some SEOs even go to the extent of declaring an alliance with a search engine (particularly Google). This, again, is sham because Google does not have any collaboration with SEOs. In fact, a site can be added to Google at no cost. All you have to do is submit your webpage or site at their “Add URL” page or through the Google Sitemaps program.


Do not pay heed to SEO offers of link popularity or their advice to enroll your site to numerous search engines. Instead of boosting your ranking, they can hinder it.


It is best to venture out yourself or employ a firm. Getting a high ranking is a matter of time. However, having attractive and precise keyword content will make search engines add you gradually. Even though search engines will regularly develop and change their algorithm, good keyword content will continue to enlist you in the search engine. Apart from search engines, attractive and concise keyword content will also fetch regular customers who are bound to increase the popularity of your website.


A calculated and well-planned approach is enough to help you steer clear of SEO sham and make your endeavors successful.
