As an online business owner or blogger, search engine optimization (SEO) is the #1 pillar of online advertising. It will always give you an edge over other competitors. This is because SEO is the surest way to get real organic traffic to your site. But the problem is, most online publishers often neglect some basic rules of SEO.

So in this training, I’ll be painting out a clear picture of some mistakes publishers make. I will also give you tips on how to make improvements for a better ranking. Now, let's see some SEO problems.

10 Common SEO Mistakes to avoid

When there is some deficiency in the SEO sector, it invariably affects site performance and loss in revenues. As a publisher, you need to give maximum attention to your web pages.

1. 4XX Status Code

This type of error occurs when something goes wrong, usually on the client-side. When this happens, users won't be able to access some pages. The 4XX status issues are caused by the following:

  • 403 Forbidden: This occurs when a user is restricted or denied access by the server to certain resources. The simple explanation to this incident is that the site owner has a link/links to some restricted website pages that are publicly available on the domain
  • 404 Not Found: This is the most common website error. It usually occurs when a user clicks on a link to a page that is no longer in existence. In some cases, the link doesn't even exist in the first place or might exist somewhere else.

Thanks for your article, Israel. I'm constantly working on those points on my sites.

I'm finding that so many really good sites have no meta description at all, and that includes some sites built by WA members too.

Locally I was wondering whether to offer my services for a small fee during this lockdown.

You're absolutely right, Chris! Most people don't add the Meta description before hitting the Publish button. This is a vital step to be taken to improve SEO. Thanks for leaving a comment!
