During internet surfing, I found some shameful SEO practices. I am sharing these with you, so that you may avoid them.
Irrelevant Anchor Text
What is Anchor text?? It is the name given to the clickable hyperlink in your post. Using clever anchor text is good SEO habit. It helps the crawler to understand the theme of the linked pages. Moreover if these are inbound links, they will bring more SEO juice to your website. But I see a lot of bloggers using click here as an anchor text link. This poor practice kills one good and easy chance to build a link.Ignoring Google Webmaster Resources
Every blogger wants the Google’s organic traffic. Then why not use the resources provided by Google to build and analyze your website. Google Webmaster Tools,
- Help you to build Google-Friendly website
- Help you to diagnose problems
- Show you Google’s view about your website
- Help you to analyze the Search Queries
- Help you to keep track of your website links
- Help you to control bot crawl rate
- Allow you to submit sitemap
So dear fellows, get a Google Webmaster account, if you don’t have one.

Non crawlable websites
