SEO Tactics to Avoid
One of the biggest challenges facing almost every website owner is getting targeted traffic to visit their website. The most effective kind of traffic is still organic search engine traffic, which is the traffic that is generated when someone finds the site when using a search engine. The goal of a website is to be near, or at, the top of the resulting page for the search terms most related to that business.
There are many things can be done to optimize a website. Learning what NOT to do is just as important as learning what TO do. For example, it’s best to avoid the following tactics:
1) Door Way Pages. This is basically a page that has been designed specifically for the search engines rather than human visitors. A user that visits the page is automatically redirected to a different website – which is the page the designer ultimately wants each visitor to see. They basically make minor changes to the same page and submits each of them to the search engines over and over again. Google no longer accepts these kinds of pages and can even exclude them from their index.
2) Hidden Text And Links. Using this tactic, keywords and keyword phrases are hidden on the page. This is usually done by making the color of the text same as the background color. Most search engines can quickly recognize this tactic now. A website that utilizes hidden text and links will almost certainly be penalized.
