In an online video, Google's Matt Cutts revealed the most common SEO mistakes that webmasters make.
Mistake 1: having a website that is not crawlable
According to Matt Cutts, the biggest SEO mistake is having a website that is not crawlable by search engines.
If your website is not crawlable, search engines cannot index your pages and your web pages won't be listed on Google. That's why we created the website audit tool in SEOprofiler. The audit tool in SEOprofiler automatically checks your web pages once per week. Then you get a report that shows all the issues that should be corrected. By correcting these issues, you make sure that search engines can index all of your pages correctly.
Mistake 2: including the wrong words on your web pages
Using the wrong words on your web pages is the second biggest mistake. For example, he says that you should write "How high is Mount Everest" instead of "Mt. Everest Height" on your pages because that is how people search on Google.
The keyword research tools in SEOprofiler help you to find the best keywords for your website. SEOprofiler offers at least 26% more keywords than other services. The keyword suggestion tool in SEOprofiler is available for 25 different countries and regions.
Mistake 3: focusing on the wrong things
Some webmasters focus on link building before they have compelling content on their web pages. Although backlinks are the most important factor in Google's algorithm, it is more important that your website has good content. Without good content, your website won't get high rankings.

Mistake 4: forgetting to think about titles and descriptions
