7 mortal sins SEO

Seven mortal sins

1. Underestimate readers

This popular belief of many bloggers — to underestimate knowledge of the visitors. Sometimes you can and know well the readers, but nevertheless give to them less, than they deserve that or in a condition to consume. To consider the subscribers as rubble, to think of them, as about herd of rams which needs to be collected in one place which will easily go there where will direct which will get on all your tricks. Readers are too people, and it is not necessary to them to refuse in intelligence. Many of them — experienced users and bloggers.
Certainly, you are free to suppose certain assumptions concerning prospects of their behaviour, but do not incur it is too much.

Here examples of the sites, helping to analyze and direct your relations with readers:
* ClickTracks;
* Google Аnalytics;
* WebTrends;
* Omniture;
* CrazyEgg.

2. Conceive too much

The set of the ideas begun by you and projects can end not too successfully — catching at once for some affairs, we have not time to make any well enough if we are in time in general. By the end of work we have a heap of partially finished, absolutely useless projects. For efficient control projects it is possible to use special programs, for example, Basecamp.
By means of this tool it is possible to create lists, labels, to trace time. One more useful program — www.timesnapper.com. This tool periodically keeps a sreen-shoty within day on which you can make then full representation that you have made within day.

3. Take a great interest

It is a usual trap for those who is engaged in advancement of sites. It is possible to trace infinitely increase or falls traffic inflow as your position in delivery of search systems changes, but frequent checks of statistics can take away too much time useful to you. Limit itself.
In particular, such programs can help with it, as www.pageaddict.com. This tool allows you to see that loss of time which you spend for nothing for this or that website.

4. Frequent crossroads

Often, when we do not know where to move further, we simply throw the begun. There are projects which demand a lot of time, but return happens is small. And sometimes we in general waste time on absolutely useless things for us. Here there will be not out of place such practice: make the list of all your problems, and note time spent by you on performance by each of them (here can it is useful such programs as Basecamp).
And now calculate value of each problem. Think, that it was necessary to make right now, and that could be made and later. And now check up, whether the column "priority" coincides with a column “spent time”.
Perhaps you spend for some problems disproportionate to their position in a column of the importance time?

5. Do not observe integrity

Actions which conduct you to your ultimate goal, and actions which are simply carried out, but do not approach you to result, to distinguish sometimes happens difficultly. Try to carry out has not simply put, and transformations of which there is your ultimate goal as a puzzle. You should accurately to itself represent, as each executed action will be entered in an overall picture.

6. Forget or throw out on an idea wind

All your ideas have been realised? Do not spend itself for nothing. Here the tools, helping to keep ideas: www.wridea.com: a network of base tools to create records quickly and easily.
Mindjet: helps to organise ideas, to concretise, draw between them parallels, to connect. Even easier — recorders, for example, a dictophone in your player or a mobile phone.

7. Blindly trust

On the Internet any can be "expert", but those who really understands network processes, it is not enough. The careful analysis of this or that niche helps to allocate eventually about five professionals. It is not necessary to believe everything, that is written. The best way to find trustworthy information and inspiration sources - to calculate these five professionals of a niche.

Search based keyword tool

GoogleA great new tool for any SEO to add to their arsenal is the Search Based Keyword Tool (SbKT) from Google. To get some really good ideas on how you can utilize this tool, I recommend you read Google’s Search Based Keyword Tool: Monetize The Long Tail of Search by Avinash Kaushik before you go any further in this article.

That article is what inspired this post which is a follow-up to it or my thoughts on the tool as an SEO as opposed to a Pay-Pay-Click (PPC) manager. So let’s begin.

For SEO, the SbKT can be a very useful addition to an SEO’s current tool set, but since the tool was created with PPC in mind, it would be even more useful when setting up a PPC campaign. One thing I’ve noticed after using SbKT several times is that it doesn’t always match up relevant words to the pages you’re targeting. You should be careful on taking Google’s advice on what is most important for your site.

If you’ve done any keyword research for your site, you more than likely know what keyphrases are better to target for each page and you probably don’t need Google to tell you what keywords should go where. For the most part, that should be obvious, but matching up keywords to pages could be very helpful for your more general terms.

One huge benefit of SbKT matching up keywords to pages on your site is that it can give you an idea of what Google thinks each specific page is about. If they’re matching up the wrong, or even completely unrelated keywords to a page of your site, it’s likely the content is not as focused as it should be and the page could use some optimization tweaks.

The way the SbKT works is by using data Google has stored. They store the data of search queries people use when searching Google.com and data from pages they have indexed.Since SbKT matches up keywords to cached pages of your site, you won’t find out if Google has changed their mind on what they think your pages are about until they cache your newly optimized pages.

Check SbKT after the pages have be re-cached and you’ll find out if you’re on the right track.The Search Based Keyword Tool is not as useful for keyword research. At least not for initial keyword research. You can find many more useful and relevant keywords to target on your site by using the Google Keyword Tool and Keyword Discovery.

After more thorough keyword research has been completed, SbKT can be very helpful. More than likely you’ve come across some long tail keywords in your original keyword research, but this tool will show you any you’ve missed and what pages you should focus them on.

If pages of your site are already perfect matches for these long tail keywords, there isn’t much more work needed to start pushing them up in the search results. Put some more work into those pages, build some links and long tail traffic should start to trickle in.

If you have a blog, SbkT can also be used to create a list of long-tail terms that you can target with blog posts. If you don’t have any pages on your website that you’d like to focus some of these keywords, your blog is the perfect place.Since you’ll be writing a post with your long-tail keyword in mind, the content should be highly targeted, relevent and ready to rank.
