Common SEO Mistakes That Kill Your Blog (And How to Avoid Them)

You work hard on your blog… But still no visitors from Google? Maybe you’re making these **common SEO mistakes** without realizing. Let’s fix them 👇 --- ### ❌ 1. Writing Without a Keyword You must know: > “What are people searching for?” Not using a clear **main keyword** = Google won’t know what your article is about. ✅ Always research and choose 1 keyword per post ✅ Use it naturally in the title, intro, and headings --- ### ❌ 2. Keyword Stuffing (Repeating Too Much) Bad example: > “Start a blog today. If you want to start a blog, just start a blog by reading this blog on how to start a blog.” ✅ Use synonyms ✅ Write like a human ✅ One keyword every 100–150 words is enough --- ### ❌ 3. No ALT Text for Images Google can’t “see” your image. If your image has no **ALT text**, you lose a big SEO chance. ✅ Always describe the image in simple text ✅ Include your keyword if possible --- ### ❌ 4. Ignoring Internal Links Many beginners forget to link to other articles on their blog. This: - Lowers SEO - Makes visitors leave quickly ✅ Add 2–3 internal links per post ✅ Example: > “You may also like: My 7-day blogging habit plan.” --- ### ❌ 5. No Meta Description If you don’t write a **meta description**, Google picks random text. That can hurt your click rate. ✅ Write 1–2 clear sentences that: - Contain the keyword - Make people want to click --- ### ❌ 6. Publishing and Disappearing Google loves **fresh and regular content**. Writing once a month = slow growth. Also, never update = lost ranking. ✅ Try 1–2 posts weekly ✅ Update old articles every 1–2 months --- ### ❌ 7. Slow Blog = Bad Experience If your blog is heavy, slow, or full of pop-ups: - Visitors leave - Google drops your ranking ✅ Compress images ✅ Avoid flashy themes ✅ Test your site here: 🌐 https://pagespeed.web.dev/ --- ## ✅ Bonus: Good SEO = Trust + Value > “SEO is not about tricking Google. > It’s about helping Google trust your content.” Avoid these 7 mistakes. Write with purpose. And give real value to your readers. --- **💬 Which mistake surprised you the most? Let’s talk in the comments.**
