Everyone loves to discuss successes and achievements, but mistakes in the process of working on projects often remain in the shadows. This is wrong, since it is mistakes that help identify weaknesses and quickly correct the situation.
The main secret is that nothing is absolutely perfect. Even the most experienced professionals encounter mistakes. It is important to understand how they can be avoided.
One of the main mistakes of SEO specialists is using other people's content, especially completely copying texts from other sites. This can happen unknowingly when a project needs to be completed quickly and information is taken from nearby competitors.
This mistake is usually made by beginners, not realizing that this will lead to sanctions from search engines.
Sometimes the mistake is unknowingly duplicating content that is displayed both on the page and on tagged and category pages. To solve this, you can use URL canonicalization and prevent indexing of such service pages.
Also, low-quality or outdated content can negatively affect promotion. For example, posting information that does not respond to user requests reduces the value of the site.
In addition, excessive use of key phrases impairs the readability of the text. When the text is overloaded with queries, users do not want to read it and leave the site, which leads to a deterioration in rankings due to bad behavioral factors.
How to fix the error? You need to focus on the quality of the content, not the number of keywords, to provide users with useful information.
Link building methods, such as mass posting of links on forums or in the website footer, are outdated. Using anchors with keywords may result in penalties. Instead, you should use effective promotion methods such as creating quality content, being active on social networks and creating natural links.
An SEO specialist should avoid excessive use of links with keywords and try to create “human-readable URLs”, that is, links that contain the name of the page in Latin, and not a set of random characters.
Sometimes SEO specialists, under pressure from management requirements, focus on the amount of traffic and income, forgetting about the user experience. An SEO specialist must monitor the number of ad units on the site. If advertisements take up too much space on the page, it will turn off users.

The mistake lies in analyzing metrics too deeply and trying to manipulate behavioral factors, especially at the site launch stage. Metrics provide useful information, but you need to approach their data wisely and not try to cheat the system.
The main mistake is the wrong choice of promotion strategy. This could be an attempt to fool search engines with too many links or borrowing ideas from competitors. Such methods may give temporary results, but they will lead to sanctions over time. If an error does occur, it will be difficult to correct the situation, and sometimes it is easier to start all over again.
