SEO Spam – an SEO no, no

When you are preparing text for your website it is important to use a method known as Search Engine Optimization, or SEO for short. SEO is a way that you use certain keywords and phrases throughout the body of your text so that the search engines will pick up on it and thus rank you higher. But there is a fine line between good keyword density and using keywords too much in which case it could be labeled as SEO spam.

SEO spam, just like any other spam is bad news and the quickest way I know of to an online death. For this reason it is extremely important that when you write your SEO content that the keywords are included throughout the body of the text, but they must be included in a way that the text still makes sense and flows.

For example, if one of your keywords is cell phone use it like this, ‘The cell phone has come a long way in the world of technology.’ This is simply placing your key word inside the text and it is relevant and it makes sense. Here is an example of SEO spam, ‘The cell phone has come a long way for the cell phone in the world of cell phone technology.’ See how that sentence didn’t flow? This type of text creation can easily be considered SEO spam.

Why is SEO spam so bad? Well if the search engines deem that you are an SEO spammer, you will not help yourself but rather hurt yourself. Your website will be penalized and this will make it even harder for people to find you. So do yourself a favor and practice SEO in a non-spamming way if you want to be a big online success.
