Last week we dealt with the first two Don’t of SEO. Today, we’ll add a few more Don’ts to help you take your SEO to the next level. Here we go.

Don’t sacrifice content quality

Oftentimes, many people settle with low-quality content just to supply their blog with regular content. It could help at times to make sure that your blog is updated regularly but it can wreak havoc on your online reputation when done on a regular basis.

Search engines are becoming intelligent day by day as they see how other websites are trying to game the system. Internet users are looking for quality content and you cannot settle for a second-rate entries on your website since search spiders scour the Internet and rate each content according to the standards set by search engines.

Take time to research about the topic you want to write and write comprehensively. It doesn’t have to be long or short but good enough that it offers value to the reader.

Dont’ make site navigation complex

Have you visited a site and left perplexed about where to find the information you are looking for? This is a result of poor site navigation.

Design a site where users can easily find the information they’re looking for. Create pages that you think is important to each of your visitors especially your target market. Make sure that information can be accessed with less click as much as possible.

Search engine spiders analyze your site and check on these factors as well. Once they figured out that it takes more clicks for an information that’s normally accessible in single click in your site these robots will count it against your site and therefore reduce your overall pagerank.

Don’t generalize keywords

Focus on the most important keywords that is relevant for your business but make sure that you diversity your choice. Check to see how your keywords perform against your competitors’ so you are not left out with the poor-performing ones.

Don’t use black-hat and deceptive SEO methods

Black hat SEO is a method to trick search engines to confer higher search rankings to a certain website. Examples of these are keyword stuffing, invisible texts and creating doorway pages which is some sort of fake pages.
