Sometimes a person may overdo things when it comes to SEO thinking that they doing the right thing. The truth is, when it comes to something as delicate as SEO, balance means a lot of things, good things. Too much of anything can potentially result in a decrease in the amount of indexed page or worse: losing ranking.
There are lots of ways that a person may overdo while doing some optimizations on their website. For example, they may put in a lot of keywords in their website thinking that it will get the attention of search engines. Putting a lot of keywords will get a site noticed by search engines but not in a good way. Search engines may flag these sites and penalize them for keyword stuffing.
Besides that, hiding keywords by setting them as the same color as the background of the website can also be considered as cloaking. Sure, this method may have worked before but not anymore. These search engines are well engineered to ensure that there can be little to no cheats that can be made. Even if the cheat methods go unnoticed for a certain period of time, site owners can be sure that they will be caught sooner or later.
In addition to that, do not focus every inbound links to the homepage itself. Try to diverse the links by using deep linking. There are a lot of directories that offers deep linking submission so try to check them out. As mentioned before, too much of anything can be dangerous when it comes to SEO.
Microsoft has been lagging behind Google and Yahoo in its quest to dominate the search engine market. Its search engine, Live Search is one of the top 3 search engines on the net. Ranking well in Live Search is just as important as ranking well in Google and Yahoo as this search engine still has its importance. Bear in mind that ranking well in Live Search may be a lot easier as compared with Google and Yahoo as there wouldn’t be a lot of webmasters doing it as well.
