Certainly, it is your first attempt and you must counter those common errors, which most people ought to commit. Let’s have a glimpse of the hurdles barring your website’s entry into the top list.







1.      Wrong keyword choices: this is one of the most common error committed by people, they pick short tail keywords to grab the desired ranking. Short tail keywords find a great deal of competitors which create difficulty in accessing the targeted ranking. Suppose, you are running a garment shop, short term keywords will get applied in the way like; buy garment online, etc. Instead, long tail keywords are easy to crack down and find quick accessibility by the search engine crawler. For example, you are running garment shop in Delhi or any particular area, like Vishwas Nagar, you can use the keyword as ‘buy garment online in Vishwas Nagar’. So, if possible, avoid the short tail keywords and try the long terms for better results.

2.    Excess usage of keywords: In other terms, it is known as keyword stuffing, which is now an outdated trick. Prior to the updates followed by the Google, keyword stuffing works really well and is used to create good amount of traffic. But now, this trick doesn’t work anymore.

3.    Low quality content: again a blunder made by many of you. While creating the websites, most of you failed to acknowledge the quality of the content posted on the web pages. Today’s scenario counters the content as the ‘King’. So, if you are serious about making impressive ranking over the search engines, you must maintain the quality level of the content of your online presence. In addition, be sure to un-follow the concept of duplicity in the content as it may also affect the website position. Avoid using same contents, Meta tags and Meta description on various pages. Follow unique methodology while managing the content on the website.

4.    Backlinks spam: as stated above, quality matters the most. This is applied on the backlinks too. In the greed to get good ranking, most of you feel good in buying the backlinks from any site, ignoring the reputation of the site. This may harm your ranking as backlinks from bad sites will create an adverse effect on your website position too. So, be careful and follow only authorized sites for backlinks.

5.   Lack of webmaster tools: lack of analytics or webmaster tools in your web presence might prevent the crawler from visiting your website. If that happens, your website will fail to get indexed on the search engines. Thus, configure the webmaster tool to mend the error.
