The Biggest SEO Mistake

[espmartin]

There are tons of mistakes you can make in your SEO. From blackhat use, to
greyhat (you know, the keyword stuffing you did when you didn't know better )
use, to bad neighborhood linking, etc... the list goes on and on.

But the biggest mistake I see for SEO is a simple one: it's neglecting to
stay in tune of the market trend pertaining to your specific niche.

I've committed lots of mistakes previously, but now I'm on the right track....Today, I'm doing some experimentals if the technique will work or not...Discard if not effective and use if worthy....

Keyword stuffing worked for me in 1999.

Once I had a site that was ranking on the first page for most of my targeted terms. Than for some reason I changed some titles here and there (can't remember why) and site was dropped 7-8 pages deep.

The point: don't fix what is not broken...

In order to stay competitive you have to adapt to the changing environment.

Expecting to put your keywords on the homepage and rank #1 is another common mistake by newbies. On page optimization is only %5 of what it takes...getting quality inbound links is obviously much more important.

i'm not sure but putting a keyword on homepage give a boost to a site specially for non-competitive keywords even without link building.

i think and believe auto-submitting to some 1000+ directories will hurt your site rank and this directory is not as the same niche you trying to build up.

I once auto-submitted to 100 directories only to realise I had misspelled my sites title (anchor text) in the auto submission software. On the plus side I ranked really well for the phrase golf blgo for a while (I still don't know how I missed it)
