Here are the 3 Common SEO Mistakes You Should Avoid

Search engines are all about content, they use bots or “spiders” to crawl on every websites to check what the website is all about. They have the technology to identify whether a website’s content is original or copied from somewhere else . Do your best to produce fresh and unique contents to please the search engines and at the same time keep them informative for your readers.
2. Too much Flash and Scripts – Refrain from using excessive flash and scripts on your website. Though flashes make your website look attractive and elegant, the search engine spiders doesn’t have a clue what the website is all about because there is not enough content for them to crawl and index.

You do this by putting ALT tags on your images. ALT tags are used to describe the images that are used on pages. Learn here on how to put an ALT tag on an image.
