9. Not Using Title Tags That Are Unique

Your Title tag is important because it is the title of your content’s link. So, if readers share your link on social media platforms, the title tag is what sells your link. Endeavor to make your titles descriptive and unique enough to entice people when they see it.

10. Not Using Anchor Texts for Internal Links

When you embed internal links like a call to action in your post, always make sure they are descriptive enough.

You must avoid the practice of embedding links that don’t include relevant keywords because it feels like a clickbait.

Conclusion

Obviously, you know a good SEO practice is the opposite of these 10 mistakes we just went over. Avoid that desperation to rank and let things happen naturally, while you’re ticking the correct boxes.

Always remember that content is king and great content will give you a higher chance at ranking. So, focus more on your content’s quality.

Thanks a mill, Israel. Im pretty sure I've made every one of these mistakes.

I've found my SEO technique has improved enormously since the All-in-One SEO update, which has prompted me to take greater care to include meta descriptions, SEO titles and internal links.

I also picked up some fabulous tips on a Premium Plus course by Tim McKinlay. I made a number of tweaks to my sites and have been inserting internal links to related posts and I'm seeing a nice boost in traffic. Interested to see where this leads.

Thank you for this training. I am still working on my use of long-tail words :)
So if I understand correctly, if I use Achor text in my posts, that will positively affect my SEO ranking? Thank you for your reply.
