10 ways to ruin your SEO work

Everyday, I come across tutorials to do good seo work and there are a lot of advice to improve you search engine rankings (remember my post about 21 ways to ruin your website). Here is a small good tutorial to ruin your Website’s SEO.

  • Create invisible content. That’s a really good natural way to improve your position in Search engines.
  • Don’t do 301 redirects ! Never !! Juste use 302 or Javascript to redirect a domain name or some urls. It’s more fun !
  • Try to have a lot of copies of your website on the web. 10 mirrors sites would be fine to increase your visibility.
  • Buy some links in other websites, especially if their activity is totally different from yours. For example, you sell computer, buy a link in a bakery, or in a skyblog about a girl who is prouds of her chest !
  • The most important pages must be located a the maximum level of depth. That’s more exciting for search engine to crawl hardly pertinent contents… Or to try to crawl !
  • Obtain rapidly good results with a flash website ! However, it’s a personal tip. Don’t speak a lot about this way…
  • Pay attention to main pages, such as “Contact”, “Terms of use” or “Credits”. These webpages represent for sure your main source of traffic…
  • Use a javascript function that automatically switches the language according to the browser’s language.
  • Use some cloaking methods to optimize seo on your website. This a really good way to index your web pages. Search engines love people who use cloaking. Besides, people will have different contents when they want to visit your site ! What a fun website !
  • Try to have uncompressed pictures in your website. Search engines like picture with big sizes because quality is better. Thus, crawl is better and faster inside your website. Try to have webpages which weigh at least 5000ko.

Note : these tips should not be taken seriously too ! :)

  1. A few more ideas :

    Add a parameter to each of your URLs containing the page of origin.
    OR
    Add session IDs to all your URLs
    OR
    Modify URLs on the fly following navigation

    Make the URLs corresponding to the following kind of pages indexable:
    – send to a friend
    – send a message on the forum (make this appear on every message page of the forum)
    – print page

    Point the links back to your homepage towards index.htm, not the actual root

    Use the following sequence for website entrance:
    Website root
    >302 redirect to index.asp
    >302 redirect to index.asp?homepage
    >index.asp?homepage is a splash page with no actual content and only one link to index.asp?actualhomepage

    Use sequencial navigation on some pages. (pages only accessible via one page).

    Add some encoded characters in your URLs (%20, accents) to spice them up a bit.

    Place your full Flash website inside a popup.

    PS: All the above is based on actual observations :-)

  2. Just found your blog on Technorati. It’s great! But I notice the Technorati post didn’t have an icon/avatar and I don’t think it showed your ranking either. Unless of cours its a duplicate post – they ofeten do that with me; One will have the picture and the ranking and the other will have nothing; You want David Sifry’s shoephone number so you can fix it? (he gave it to me after a posted heaps of blogs saying “David Sifry why won’t Technorati answer our Support emails”. Anyway…back to your excellent blog. Mal. Paris.

  3. If only we could see spybots …

    some traps :
    > link to a white page quickly redirecting to a black page redirecting to the first .
    > take your young daughter’s best .bmp drawing with PAINT, rename it and change its mimetype to html ..

    mais plus sérieusement, une “vraie” version de cet article serait la bienvenue. j’aimerais pouvoir enlever mon site de google sans faire compliqué

  4. coucou, article très uintéressant :) je me demandais ceque tu voulais indiquer dans cette précisionb: remember my post about 21 ways to ruin your website … A+

  5. I am sure that there are plenty of positives out there, but what have you seen for yourself? Do you approve of my ornate counselor Wanna very nice joke?)) What do you call a veterinarian with laryngitis? A hoarse doctor.
