Boost Your Blog in 100 Days Challenge: SEO for Everyone Day 5

April 7, 2014 By Martiel 4 Comments

BB100 SEO 5

Keywords can be super helpful at building your traffic and advancing your blog into stardom. But if you abuse them or practice “keyword stuffing” the search engines will penalize you for it and your audience will quickly catch on. This will result in a blog no one wants to follow, read or have anything to do with… well that might sound a little harsh, but you get the picture.

There aren’t any tricks or special tips to keyword abuse or stuffing. The golden rule of keywords is: DON’T COMMIT KEYWORD ABUSE AND DON’T PARTICIPATE IN KEYWORD STUFFING.

So you know what we are talking about be for you delve into the wonderful world of do’s and don’t’s here are some definitions…

Keyword Abuse: Using keywords and key phrases within your website is an SEO technique to get your website ranking high and easily indexed by Google. (Definition provided by Attorney Marketing Designs).

Keyword Stuffing: An unethical search engine optimization (SEO) technique, which leads to banning a website from major search engines either temporarily or permanently. Keyword stuffing occurs when a web page is loaded with keywords in the meta tags or in content of a web page. The repetition of words in meta tags may explain why many search engines no longer use these tags. (Definition provided by Wikipedia).

    Thanks for the heads-up on abuse and stuffing!

    (FYI: From Attorney Marketing Designs – “Using keywords and key phrases within your website is an SEO technique to get your website ranking high and easily indexed by Google. However, there is such thing as SEO keyword abuse, and it means the website is implementing an overload of keywords to try to rank high within the system” Abuse is an ‘overload’ of keywords. Your current definition would mean using keywords, in and of itself, is an abuse.)

    I’m sure I don’t abuse keywords. I’m closer to the opposite end, of not using them enough. I need to work on that.

    All that keyword abuse and stuffing makes it difficult to read some of the content. I am happy to see websites more focused on quality content then shoving the same few words down our throats, so to speak.

    Jill,
    You are so right. It get’s annoying to read the same phrase over and over again.
    Thanks for taking time to comment,
