What Not To Do In SEO - 2Last week we covered the first few things on what not to do in SEO. Now let’s continue the discussion with some more Don’ts when it comes to SEO:

  • Don’t use “Doorways” - Doorways are pages that do not have meaningful or useful content, usually created automatically to just manipulate search engine spiders, gain lots of content, place ads and earn money, or redirect traffic to real sites. These techniques are easily spotted by search engines so focus on creating a page that will be useful to visitors and you will be rewarded in time with a better search ranking.
  • Don’t use mirror pages - These are pages with the same or very similar content. If your content is identical, it doesn’t matter how many sites you put it on as the search engines will only count it once. In fact, too many mirror pages might even harm the first/main page that they crawl so avoid mirror pages and make sure no one else has done so on other sites.
