As you search for the facts on ways to give your website greater online visibility, you will get plenty of info about search engine optimization, referred to as �SEO.� You are sure to get a plethora of pointers and tips about SEO. However, what you don't often hear is a list of what you really should not do. It is equally important to know what not to do with SEO as it is knowing what to do. The best way to get it right is to prepare a checklist of what you should not do so you have an easy way to remember what to avoid. This is a successful strategy to make sure you remain on the right SEO track. Let's consider a few simple ideas of what ineffective web strategists do to try to draw attention to their sites.

Once you discover SEO, you are likely to hear a lot of strategists discuss various ways of using unique keywords to promote your website. There is plenty of truth to these basic statements. The unique keywords along with the proper title tags will certainly bring your website up on the search engine rankings while others are left in the dust. Although this is a wise strategy, you definitely want to avoid keyword overkill. You just can't try to be too unique. Some people try to be unique by coming up with humorous or silly title tags. The purpose of this strategy is to spark the reader's interest when they pass the title during their search. The logic is sound when it comes to attracting traffic but you are also attempting to sell a product in the process. If you appear to be having a bit too much fun, searchers will click on your article or blog but you are unlikely to gain their trust...which means they won't buy it.

Now that you realize you shouldn't be a goofball, you also want to avoid using misleading keywords and titles. It can be tempting to mislead your potential audience. You long to stuff your articles and blogs with as many relevant keywords as you can. The desire to lure web users to your site might influence your choices. However, when you start creating title tags and attaching keywords that have little or nothing to do with what you are really writing in your blog or article, you are sure to irritate possible customers. On the rare occasion you sell products, it's still a poor way to bring people to your website. It is rather like false advertising when you use misleading keywords and titles. It is always a bad strategy that minimizes your credibility.

These are two of the most common mistakes to steer clear of when optimizing your website. There are so many errors to avoid when it comes to SEO strategy, you need to have a specialist assisting you. A specialist knows what will works and what won't so you don't go in the wrong direction with your promotional efforts. An SEO strategist will lure targeted traffic to your business to get the results you want.
