What are typical mistakes in SEO optimization?

02/02/2023 | by Patrick Fischer, M.Sc., Founder & Data Scientist: FDS

There are several mistakes that can be made in search engine optimization (SEO). Some of the typical mistakes are:

Keyword Stuffing: if too many keywords are stuffed into the content, this can be considered spamming and the search engines will penalize it.

Duplicate Content: Using duplicate content on different pages that are identical or very similar can lead to poor ranking by search engines.

Missing meta tags: Meta tags like meta title, description and keywords help search engines to understand the content of the web page. If these tags are not used correctly or even missing, it can lead to poor ranking.

Slow loading times: If the web page loads too slowly, users will become impatient and may leave the website, which can negatively impact rankings.

Incorrect use of headings: Using headings is important to give structure to the content. However, if the wrong headings are used or they are not structured in a meaningful way, this can have a negative impact on rankings.

Lack of mobile optimization: as more and more users are using mobile devices to browse the web, it is important to have a website that is optimized for mobile devices. If the website is not optimized for mobile devices, it can negatively affect the search engine ranking.

Incorrect use of backlinks: If poor quality backlinks or irrelevant pages are used, it can negatively affect the ranking.

It is important to avoid these mistakes and ensure that the SEO strategy is based on best practices to achieve a good ranking in the search engines.
