What is SEO Onpage and Offpage Spam
SEO OFF-PAGE SPAM LIST
This is the list of spams in SEO off-page activities which one should avoid and can cause very harmful penalties on the website.
Low Quality Backlinks: While creating backlinks for website pages, make sure the website from where you are getting a backlink is not of low quality or has not been penalized in the past because getting links from an already penalized website can devalue your website too. Secondly, make sure the website is having a good DA (Domain Authority), PA (Page Authority) and a trust on the search engines.
Backlinks from Different Niche: Suppose, you are working for a technology niche/website and making backlinks from an educational website, this will negatively impact on your website if the link is not relevant and for that, make sure if you have something on which your users can get educated from the course of their study, then linking that topic from education sites can give you unbeatable benefits.
Making Maximum Anchor on Keywords: This is something very important, never try make backlinks only on the targeted keywords. Because, it will easily signal to the google crawlers for the type work you are doing which can cause you penalties also, and BTW, Google never says they take SEO as a positive thing. So, keeping some diversity in backlinks is always a better strategy for making backlinks.
Backlinks from Adult Websites: Getting backlinks from adult website is the most harmful and major spam in google’s eyes and not only this, they have also banned the promotions for them and getting links from their can completely destroy your efforts. So make sure, not to get even a single link from them. But somehow, if it has been generated automatically, then disavow it as soon as possible.
Links from Article Submission Directories: I have seen many SEO professionals and companies who still use article submission directories like; ezinearticles, article base Etc! Etc! for which google has already warned if used, then get ready to taste the penalty because these are just directories used to get backlinks and nothing else.
Backlinks from Link Wheels: Though, link wheels are a very great strategy to boost up the ranking and traffic of any website, but if caught then the results can be unrecoverable. Better to give yourself time to become a real SEO profession and then trying it is actually beneficial.
Links from Private Blog Networks (PBN’s): Basically, a private blog network is a gray hat/black hat tactic of using a set of sites under your control to implement links to other sites, but now Google has started to consider them under link spam and is taking actions against the blogs supporting them. So try not go get links from general blogs or website, because who knows if they are a part of PBN.
Links Purchase: This is part of link scheme which includes buying or selling links to pass the link juice through posts and articles, exchanging links for money, exchanging goods and services for money Etc. Are true SPAM and can negatively impact on a site’s ranking in search engine. It simply means, Better To Avoid!!!
SEO ON-PAGE SPAM LIST
Here is the list of spams in SEO on-page activities which one should avoid and can cause very harmful penalties on the website.
Copied or Plagiarized Content: For SEO On-page SPAM list this has to be in the #1 position, because content is the major ranking factor in today’s SEO strategies, the better and unique your content-the better rankings you can achieve with less effort. So make sure, not to use copied or spinned content on your websites, it can cause you to penalties.
Keyword Stuffing in Content and Metas: There is nothing wrong to let Google know about your website’s offerings and services, but trying to overdoing that can harm your website. Try to wisely use your keywords in content and meta tags even in the ALT attributes of images.
Unjustified Internal Linking to Website Pages: Internal linking is a very good practice and a great strategy which you can apply on your website by linking to relevant webpages only. Suppose, you are making anchor on “how to tie a necktie” and linking to a product page, which is for the customers to buy a necktie, is a pure On-page SPAM. Avoid It!!!

How to Make Sure Your On-Page SEO is Up to Date
While you may think you know all you
should know about on-page SEO, it’s important to know that it is always
in a state of change, and you would do well to keep current with the
latest best practices.
There’s more to this than just dropping
in a keyword here and there: Google is constantly seeking ways to
deliver better search results, and a byproduct of that is an environment
where change is the only thing you can count on.
So to make sure you get off on the right
footing as it regards your on-page SEO here are 7 tips you’ll want to
ensure receive your full attention.
7 On-Page SEO Tips that You Need to Adopt If You Haven’t Already!
Title Tags and the page META Description –
It’s important to get this right: Google wants to see no more than 60
characters in the title tags, and less than 160 in the META description.
Try to employ your main page keyword in both, and make sure your
description is one that will attract a visitor.
Utilize your Keywords –
the right way! Don’t stuff your pages with them. In fact your primary
keyword (the one in the title tag and description) should have a page
density of between 1-3%.
Image tags – Be sure to
tag your images’ ALT tags accurately. This will also help your images to
get indexed in Google images, and get you more traffic.
Employ internal linking –
Be sure to link to relevant and useful content within your own pages,
preferably using keyword anchor text to get there. This is a major
signal for Google that you are trying to be of use to your visitors.
Optimize for mobile search –
Beginning April 2015, Google is going to penalize pages that aren’t
optimized well for mobile. Since mobile traffic now accounts for more
than 50% of all traffic, what do you think you should do?
Your business minutiae –
Having an accurate privacy policy, contact us page, and terms of
service indicates to Google that you are a serious business and is also a
ranking signal.
Have Speedy page loads –
If your pages aren’t loading in 4 seconds or less, you might have a
problem. Look into compressing image files, or possibly even moving your
web hosting if they are holding you back. This is a major ranking
factor.

4 SEO Factors that will Become Less Important Over Time
- Page Rank/Domain Authority: More authoritative (PR) sites will not (automatically) dominate search engines in the future as they often do today. Why?
Just because a website has a high page
rank doesn’t mean it should automatically be given more love by a search
engine. Giving too much credit to high Page Ranking sites is the
classic example of “The Rich Get Richer, the Poor Get Poorer.”
To make an analogy, if SEO was a team
sport today, based on the existing algorithms, almost all the starters
would be the team veterans. And the rookies, despite their (potentially)
superior abilities, would play much less– simply because they’re
rookies. This, as you might imagine, makes no sense in the sports world
and it shouldn’t happen in the world of SEO either—but it does, a LOT.
- Site (Domain) Age: This goes hand-in-hand with Page Rank but it comes down to this: New and future websites should NOT be punished because they weren’t around during the golden age of SEO and search engines. This “first mover advantage” shouldn’t hold so much weight, but unfortunately, it does.
Take as an example my swimming pool
company. Because we dominated search with our “They Ask, You Answer”
content marketing philosophy starting in 2009, we now stand on top of
the SEO mountain for our industry and it’s going to be very, very hard
for anyone in the future to knock us off this mountain. That being said,
if I were a new swimming pool company I would hate to be punished
simply because my business didn’t exist during the early days of SEO.
Hopefully you see my point. This first
mover advantage is flawed, as it punishes every new business going
forward, and somehow, Google and the rest of the search engines are
going to have to address this issue.
- Social Signals: Many SEO pundits think social will play a bigger and bigger role on search rankings going forward. I do not share this belief. Sure, it may happen for a time, but eventually it will be eliminated because social shares can be too easily manipulated to make a piece of content “appear” worthy of a higher ranking. Furthermore, platforms like Facebook and Twitter come and go, which makes building metrics around said platforms problematic. And finally, because Google and Facebook are becoming massive competitors, do you really think Google will want any part of their algorithm to be impacted by a competitor??
- Inbound Links (Backlinks): Although I think the number of Inbound Links/Backlinks a webpage has pointing to it will always be somewhat relevant to SEO, I foresee it becoming less and less of a factor. Why? For starters, it can be manipulated. Also, as stated above, inbound links favor older content, and as searchers seek out the “latest and greatest” info within any field, search engines will be forced to give less and less weight to inbound links in an effort to keep content as fresh and up to date as possible.
When all is said and done, Google and other search engines have one obsession:
They want to give you the most specific answer to your specific question/search query.
What will Matter Most for SEO Going Forward
Going forward, specificity of content
will continue to become more and more important. Also, search engines
will reward the “teacher”—in other words, not the piece of content that
is looking to sound smart, but rather the piece of content that has the
goal of communion with the reader/searcher. In a quick nutshell, I see
the following SEO factors becoming VERY significant in the coming years:
- Time on Site: Time is man’s greatest resource. It’s also going to be one of Google’s greatest judges of the best content the web has to offer.
- Bounce Rate: If they quickly come and go, you’ve got a problem
- Freshness of Content: It better be up to date
- Meaty/thorough Content: Searchers don’t just want answers—they want GREAT answers
- Mobile: Your content better look great on every screen, no matter the size
- Transparency/Honesty: People don’t want to read biased content. They want honesty and transparency, and search engines will get better and better at giving it to them.
- Multimedia: Content that shows in multiple forms (like a blog post that includes text and video) will outperform content that uses just one means of communication.
