The 4 Most Common Mistakes In Internet Marketing

So you think you have already done the best you can, for your own internet business and website, only to find you're still not getting any traffic!

You remain behind in the search engine rankings. And you're not making any sales. What could be wrong?

Well, the problem could be that you're not getting into the right direction. No matter how much you persevere, you won't see results unless you take the correct direction first. There might be some mistakes that you need to correct in order to achieve a successful internet business. Take a look at these common SEO mistakes:

1. SEO is not an overnight process, in our industry they call good clean marketing online, 'White hat' and black hat marketing, is where you try and cheat the system and short cut your SEO efforts.. You can't have your desired results at once - it's all about dedication. If you're spamming and using other unacceptable methods to get immediate results, your work at home internet business is most likely to fail.

2. Inconsistency in site updates. Content is king, the clever marketers have been saying that from the beginning and it's as true today as it ever has been. If you want the search engine spiders to crawl your site regularly, you need to update your site regularly. Only then can you expect to see real improvements in your site's status and in the status of your own internet business.

3. Keyword selection and placement. Keyword is key to boosting your site. It affects many aspects in site establishment and maintenance. From your URL and tags to your content and links, using the right keyword is crucial. This can determine the difference between a high and a low rank.

4. Duplicate content. Is the content in your site a duplicate? Now the only problem arises if you have duplicate content on your own website. If the content is from another source, your site will not be penalised but may not outrank the site the original content is from. If there are two or more similar pieces of content online, the spider will find it hard to decide which of these shall be given the higher rank. This can also spell the difference between a successful internet business and one that's barely surviving. So my advice is use good quality, unique, relevant content.

Now, has your site fallen to any of these? It's time to act and correct your mistakes to improve your work at home internet business.
