Following are some biggest SEO mistakes webmasters commit while optimizing a website:
- Leaving title tags to be auto-generated (from the post name, category name, etc.)
- Squandering your “crawl equity” by letting pages get indexed that don’t deserve to be (“Email this page” etc.)
- Having multiple “homes” for your blog
- Not using unique “Optional Excerpt” or rel=”canonical” to minimize duplicate content
- Not using rel=nofollow to direct PageRank flow
- Over-reliance on date-based archives
- No stability in keyword focus on category & tag pages
- Suboptimal URLs (too long, too many words, too many directories)
- Only one RSS feed, and it’s un-optimized
- Hosting blog/feed URLs on a domain you don’t own
- Using suboptimal anchor text when linking internally
