SEO Freelance

• Leaving title tags to be auto-generated (from the post name, category name, etc.)
• Squandering your “crawl equity” by letting pages get indexed that don’t deserve to be (“Email this page” etc.)
• Having multiple “homes” for your blog
• Not using unique “Optional Excerpt” or rel=”canonical” to minimize duplicate content
• Not using rel=nofollow to direct PageRank flow
• Over-reliance on date-based archives
• No stability in keyword focus on category & tag pages
• Suboptimal URLs (too long, too many words, too many directories)
• Only one RSS feed, and it’s un-optimized
• Hosting blog/feed URLs on a domain you don’t own
• Using suboptimal anchor text when linking internally

I will be adding more points in my future posts, stay tuned…
