When it comes to search engine optimization, there are certain common mistakes that I see people making over and over again. Here’s a list of the 10 most common mistakes that I see people making:

1. Optimizing your site for the wrong keywords
2. Putting too many keywords in the Meta Keywords tag
3. Repeating the same keyword too many times
4. Creating lots of similar doorway pages
5. Using Hidden Text
6. Creating Pages Containing Only Graphics
7. Not using the NOFRAMES tag in case your site uses frames
8. Using Page Cloaking
9. Using Automatic Submission Tools
10. Submitting too many pages per day

By avoiding these mistakes, you can avoid a lot of anguish and frustration in the long run.
