How To Avoid Getting Banned For Keyword Spamming

In order to avoid your site from getting into the keyword spam category follow the following ten golden rules:

  1. Do not let the keyword density of your blog posts be greater than 7%.
  2. Do not go on doing comment spamming (it is the easiest way of getting your site banned from Google).
  3. Do not let the anchor texts have the same keyword phrases being repeated time and again. Tell Google about all the different keyword phrases you want to target for, by using different keyword phrases in different anchor text links. Anchor texts are the best way to tell Google about the exact keyword phrase you are targeting.
  4. Do not post two titles having nearly the same meaning or the same content. Search engines do not like it.
  5. Do not use your main keyword more than three times in your meta tags.
  6. Do not use primary keyword more than two times in the title of your post.
  7. Do not use the same site description for link building while submitting your site to the link building directories.
  8. Do not repeat your keyword in the anchor text: it looks odd and is definitely not accepted by the search engines.
  9. Do not link to your site two times from the same webpage (it is not a spam, but it does not help you in any way).
  10. No need to repeat the keyword many times in the URL.
Getting your site recognized as a spam is the worst thing you can do to yourself and to your blog. Overuse of keywords is also not necessary as it is not going to help you in these times as it did a decade back. The main thing is to have a professional blog and to keep it updated all the time. The more you update your blog, the more will it be loved by Google. The main keywords phrase of your blog should repeat at least a few times in every post. Surprising enough, when a topic becomes viral, Google itself does the link building part for it. Every blogger has this experience in his blogging career.

Follow the above ten golden rules and you are absolutely safe in your blog journey. The thing Google loves the most is to see the content of a site changing all the time. Google is like the Hutch dog, you just need to use the right biscuit to make it come closer to you and get friendly (that's what most of the SEO ebooks say). Not to forget that again it is sensible use of keywords and proper on-page optimization that gives the initial push to your site in the Google organic search results. You push the keyword trick a little higher and Google punishes you very badly. Additional suggestions which can help webmasters avoid the keyword spam can be left behind in the comments section.
