Do You Make These Eight SEO Mistakes?
Search Engine Optimization is a creative and continuous process. You need to adjust your SEO tactics in connection with the changing search algorithms.
To help you improve your SEO performance, Search Engine Journal contributor Loren Baker has shared a list of eight harmful SEO mistakes he has observed.
Baker says, “Here are eight silly mistakes that even the SEO professionals sometimes make.
1. Leaving a Noindex / Nofollow Command on the Site Upon Launching
You can prevent a page on a website (or an entire website) from appearing in Google by using a noindex meta tag in your site’s header code.
When Googlebot sees that tag, it’ll immediately drop the page from the search results.
That’s useful if you’re still developing your site, or you don’t have root access to a server and want more control over access to specific pages or the whole site for any reason.
But if you forget to take it out before your big site launch?
Oops.
Another mistake can be putting a noindex meta tag into the site’s header code and then blocking the command with a robots.txt“.
