1. The document discusses 7 of the worst SEO habits, including obsessively tracking traffic, using paid links, focusing too much on keyword density, submitting many low-quality articles to directories, checking rankings too often, using article spinning, and outdated tactics. 2. Paid links and low-quality spun content are discouraged as Google prefers original content and doesn't favor paid links. 3. It's better to focus on quality content, some target keyword optimization, occasional ranking checks, and more effective strategies rather than outdated tactics like heavy article submission or spinning.

1. 7 Worst SEO Habits

2. 1: Tracking Your Traffic Every Single Day

3. Tracking the number of
visitors arriving on your
pages is Important..

4. ..but Don’t get yourself sucked into a hole of
obsessively monitoring the entrance and exit of
every single visitor.

5. Engage with your visitors
Don’t Stalk them!

6. 2: Paid Links

7. Google is very clear about paid links.
They don't like them!
Google even has an official form that
enables webmasters to report paid
links to Google.

9. Yep ! That’s Matt Cutts.
He is the head of webspam at Google..
What he says Really Matters…!
And he said….

13. “In Google’s world, we take
paid links that pass PageRank
as seriously as Amazon would
take paid reviews without
disclosure or as your
newspaper would treat a
reporter who was paid to link to
a website in an article without
disclosing the payment”
- Matt Cutts

14. 3: Obsess over Keyword Density

15. Keyword density as a
ranking signal has no
merit in today’s SEO
world

16. Keyword density as a
ranking signal has no
merit in today’s SEO
world
But it is a good idea
to include target
keywords in key
places, like your title
tag and heading tags.

17. Just focus your
attention on creating
good content

18. 4: Submitting
Articles to
Directories

19. Old school SEOs should be well familiar
with submitting 1000s of articles to 1000s
directories for building both traffic and
backlinks.

20. Over time, a number of different factors
have come together to completely
invalidate this strategy.

21. First, plenty of article
directories were abusing their
services for personal
benefits..
Then, Google came
along and knocked
many of these
directories’ articles out
of the SERPs as part of
the Panda update.

22. 5. Checking on your Rankings too Often

23. Check your rankings periodically, as
movement up or down the SERPs.

24. Leave off the obsessive rankings monitoring
to focus on the techniques that really matter
to your success.

25. 6: Article Spinning

26. Spinning articles used to be a big
deal to digital marketers

27. Spinning articles used to be a big
deal to digital marketers
Spinning articles
rarely produces
anything other than
the thin content of
very less
Quality.

28. Spinning articles used to be a big
deal to digital marketers
Spinning articles
rarely produces
anything other than
the thin content of
very less
Quality.
It’s an outdated
technique.

29. A single, well-written
article published as a
reputable guest post
will do more for your
site’s performance…
…than a thousand spun articles published
on devalued article directories ever will!

31. Another outdated
SEO task that
should be cut out of
your Web marketing
“to do” list.

32. Take the time you’ve
been spending on this
unnecessary task…
…and redirect it to strategies
that’ll actually make a difference in your
site’s performance.
