The annoying pop-ups

Have you ever clicked a link to a website to see their content, only to be interrupted by a super annoying pop-up that was really disturbing you, especially if you wanted to know the information in the content? Yes, anyone who’s got pop-ups on their website will likely get their visitors annoyed by the sudden interruption covering the content they want to see.

Irrelevant inbound links

Yes, links are important. However, it’s not just any link. No matter how many backlinks you’ve got, if the majority of those links came from irrelevant sites, it would not give any values for your website. In fact, Google would find your website not credible and not deserving high rank in the future. Therefore, if you are doing any blog commenting, or writing articles, make sure you are doing that in relevant places and talking about relevant topics as well, so that you can get relevant backlinks.

Those mistakes mentioned above are not the only ones many SEO marketers have done. It may come off as trivial, but if you keep doing those mistakes, it would result in damage on your reputation in the long run. Keep in mind that when you are doing SEO, you should be patient and serious as well as focused, because it may take time for you to see results.
