Some of the most terrible mistakes might be the ones that go unnoticed and most of them are not even pointed out in your WordPress website checklist. However, the best part is that these simple mistakes are easily solvable provided that you follow this list and consider doing some necessary changes:
Mistake #1 – Crappy Post Titles
When an SEO writer pays attention to his content it shows specifically on his keywords and the headline he/she brings out. Unfortunately, boring titles never attract people and keep them away from clicking your link.
It does not matter how extraordinary your SEO strategies are, all your content is waste if people do not click on them, and you go down on your search engine ranking. People generally read content by looking at their titles and if this sounds uninteresting in your content chances are that you will never make it to their vicinity.
The basic truth is that a good and attractive title can bring you more traffic than any of your SEO strategies, and this is what is quite promising for most successful sites. Sure enough, this article shows you 5 common mistakes that stop your traffic while other titles might focus on “˜how to” top 10’or offer something for “˜free’.
Boring titles can push away all the potential traffic that might come to your site, but a strong headline or title is just what you need to pull in the right crowd. Hence it is extremely important that you check all your titles and make them catchy.
A perfect for example is when you see a great post title in the comments section left there as a CommentLuv link. When you are clicking on those post titles, think about why you have chosen this particular one and what attracted you to it.
Mistake #2 – Copied Text
In the past when blogging was newly introduced it was a common strategy for most bloggers to generate “pages of pages”. Software was used to combine all the post of a single website and amalgamate them into one single page view for fast and convenient reading.
If you are one among these bloggers and still use the software, you need to stop it right now. You could either switch it off or utilize robots.txt to restrict Google from seeing your copied content.
Having a website customized with such a facility can damage your reputation as copied content and Google will never promote such kind of content but would help searchers with their specific search results.
One of the most important aspects while you target your Google ranking is to not duplicate any content in your site. Also, it is highly significant that you look out for other websites that may try to whip your text as this can also be held against you as duplicate content irrespective of who published it first.
One easy way to handle this problem is to ask the site to take down their content as most of them generally agree to the same. You could also threaten a legal action by contacting the website’s hosting company. However, be careful of hackers as they might strike back. Another way of taking advantage of people who use your copyright is to include links in your text so that it returns backlinks to your website.
Major Mistake # 3 – Bad HTML
Some Webmasters have a bad HTML hidden in their content without them knowing. For example some Webmasters or maybe from a Microsoft Word document and pasted directly into their WordPress Post editor. This text might look fine in the visual section, but when you look deeper into the HTML you will see extra code that is not compatible with WordPress. There are many other examples of this but the best way to avoid bad HTML code hiding in your posts is to copy your text from a simple notepad file.
Major Mistake # 4 – Copied Domain Names
It might be a startling revelation to you that website names beginning with www is entirely different from domains that do not have the same prefix. Google knows this extremely well and even realized that these two variations are used to fool users. While some websites use them for split testing, while others make it to scam credible websites.
This is the reason why Google considers a website that does not start with www to be entirely different from a website that starts with www. Hence, your site could come into view twice on Google index making mobile categorize it as a duplicate domain. To avoid this confusion all you need to do is to log into your tools account on Google Webmaster and set your primary domain name. Once you do this Google give you instructions on how you could verify both www and regular version of your website.
The simple truth is, you might be building links using the www and the no www which will water down your SEO efforts and give you less traffic. You must decide on what team you want to bat for.
Website Traffic Mistake # 5 – No Link Building
If you have a website then you must be creating links pointing to this website. You also must do this continually, creating links from inside your own website and links pointing into your website from other sites. Link building is a major part of building a website and if you are not taking part in this activity, you are missing out on a huge amount of traffic. I recently published an article detailing a link building tutorial which is now turned out to be over 3000 words long. This is an extensive subject that needs to be covered and this article is not even finished yet!
Mistake # 6 – Do You Have A Problem With Spamming?
Spam is considered to be one of Internet’s greatest problems, and if Google categorizes you as a spammer -you are up for great trouble.
While writing your content, if you concentrate too much to pull traffic through search engine ranking and ignore to what people want to read, you are likely to clash with Google’s identification as spam, something you surely don’t want to do.
It’s unclear how Google detect spammers but it is evident that the system is very effective. This is why spammers who managed to get the first rank on search engine results today will vanish without a warning some other day.
As long as you do not deliberately posts spam on your website, the only way to get associated with spammers is someone hacking to your website or getting your content written from a “˜spammy writer’ who extensively uses keywords – stuffed to be precise.
A hacking is serious security threat and Google will immediately ban your website which in turn affects your traffic and whole livelihood.
Mistake # 7 – Presuming Blogging is Easy
This it is a big mistake that many new Webmasters make. They presume that blogging is easy because some people have told them that this is true. Building a WordPress website from scratch is in fact easy, but building a WordPress website to become successful is not so easy. I would be lying if I told you that creating a successful blog was an easy task. I see many new Webmasters complaining about not seeing any website success yet, however it takes longer than most people think. The ones that stick at it often eventually see great success.
These are the seven major mistakes that you should keep an eye on. They all could be costing you website traffic right now and crippling your blogs success rate. It can happen to anyone at any time and the only way to stay away from these is to constantly be looking out for them.
