SEO dos

This time I want to share with you the SEO dos – Things to make sure to include whether you are hiring and SEO company or do the job yourself.

SEO dos:

You have to be committed to the process. SEO requires a long term commitment.
Patience. You won’t see instant results.
Use only one H1 header per page.
Have your Web Analytics tool installed.
Make SEO friendly URLs.
Conduct a keyword research from the beginning.
Build a great website with a sitemap page.
Use a relevant and unique title for every page.
Add social media sharing button.
Regular update your website with fresh content.
Create link-building. Links that come from other sites to your site.

Of course the list could go on but let me know your SEO dos and write a comment.

SEO don’ts

Always good to catch up with some Web Developer friends and to listen to their latest work & insights.

Today still many companies miss the point of simple SEO don’ts. How about to review some of the basics.

Some SEO don’ts are:

Don’t stuff keywords in your footer page with colored or hidden text. It’s old school.
Don’t stuff keywords in your meta & image alt tags. It’s old school.
Don’t obsess over Google RankPage and don’t check your rankings every day.
Don’t post your most valuable content on secure HTTPS pages. Spiders don’t index those.
Don’t black-hat tactics and play illegal ways to game the system to your advantage.
Don’t make your site uncrawlable. Avoid developing an all Flash, all Graphic or all AJAX site.
Don’t wait too long in implementing SEO. When building or revamping a site SEO start on day 1.
Don’t create multi pages with same content.

Of course the list could go on but let me know your SEO don’ts and write a comment.

Please avoid these pitfalls and keep things simple.
