Along Came An SEO Spider:
The SEO spider was going about its route
Found your violations and knocked your page right out
Out came your white hat and fixed your page again

SEO VIOLATIONS ~ Why?

Question: What is search engine webcrawler?

Answer: A web spider performing an investigation of the content on your website, to determine its ranking position.

The following can and will hurt your search engine results.

KEYWORD STUFFING ~ Stuffing keywords is when a page is loaded with the same word or phrases repeating it self. In most cases, the keyword is not prevalent to the content.

Example: Spider Man is 32 years old and Spider Man lives and likes the single life in New York City. Spider Man likes cereal and Spider Man likes Life cereal without milk. Spider Man likes Spider Man's cereal dry, because Spider Man likes Life cereal as a snack. Say hello to Spider Man and welcome to Spider Man's life.

Keyword density best practices: Use the main keyword phrase at least one time in your post near the beginning. Also, use related words naturally to help rank for other keywords. It helps to use the keyword in the sub-headers of your post, also.

Content length ~ Content will play a major role in ranking your website. Long content tends to rank higher because they contain more information and value. If there is not enough content on the page, then your website or page may not get indexed or will position low in the search engines. You can embellish on a topic to expand the content and capture it relevancy. Broaden your writing vocabulary and watch your word count increase along with your search positions.

Sneaky redirects ~ Search engines will punish you if you send a visitor to a different URL, one that they didn't initially request. Sneaky redirects will hurt your ranking. Drop you in ranks like you were a nuclear meltdown.

Hidden links ~ Hiding a link by only linking one small character, or adding a hyphen in the middle of a paragraph as a link will get you dropped like you hot.

Hidden text ~ Using white text on a white background will get you penalized. Search engines don't like it when we try to hide keyword under your content. Try to beat the system and the spider will snitch on you, causing your ranking to drop like a rock.

Cloaking ~ This is when you show one content to your website visitors that are different from the content you show the search engine spiders, crawlers, or bots. Search engines consider this behavior to be high-risk and in violation of their quality guidelines. If you get caught cloaking, you risk stiff penalties. The results can be devastating to your ranking, the search engine may even kick your content out of its system. Have you saying "you dropped a bomb on me".
