SEO Mistakes

Top 10 Most Egregious SEO Mistakes

David Letterman Style, here it is:

#10. You’re optimizing your website around really common (probably really popular) keywords that you’ll never be able to rank for. In the last week, I’ve had two people tell me they wanted to optimize their site around “leadership”. I said, good luck competing with Wikipedia and About.com.

#9. Everyone of your title tags has the same keyword phrase in it. And it’s your company name. The title tag on a page is probably the most important On-Page SEO factor to consider when creating new pages. You probably already rank well for a search on your company name, so you can safely leave that out and still get that traffic. So, make sure you pick appropriate keyword phrases for each page that are phrases that someone is going to type into a search engine in order to find a product or service like yours.

#8. Dynamic URLs without your keywords in it. You bought a fancy shopping cart or content management system (CMS) that uses dynamic urls with all kinds of random numbers and random letters in the url. Your URLs should be readable by humans because search engines read words like humans too. The words in your URLs is another very important signal to search engines what that page is about. So, get yourself a CMS that allows you to control your urls or get yourself a URL rewriter. Include your keywords in your URLs.

#7. You used images as headings. Headings are usually the big bold letters right above the content at the top of a page usually below your navigation. See “HubSpot Inbound Internet Marketing Blog”. That’s a heading. If these are “words built with images” (designers do this to control the font of the text), search engines aren’t reading them. These should be text. Pick a web safe font that’s close to what you want. Go with that.

#6. Number 6 is equally egregious, but a little less common nowadays unless your website is circa 1997… If your navigation is built using image buttons instead of text, you’re giving search engine one less signal about what that page is about. See #7 for a fix: Use text.

#5. All of the above. I’ve seen it happen. I’ve seen sites with all of the above mistakes. Really. Honest.

#4. Doing SEO after the website is designed and built. For some reason, people think SEO should start afterwards. I’ve been racking my brain for an analogy, but it’s really pretty simple: Do you go on a trip before you pack? Do you launch a business before writing some sort of business plan? Do you visit to a friend’s new house without printing out driving directions?

SEO done right allows you to determine what content to write in order to get traffic from search engines. And you shouldn’t design a site before you know what content will be on it. I’m not saying that you should change your business model or product name based on what keywords will be easiest to rank for, but you should consider it. I guarrantee you that your competitors or smart internet marketers are doing this homework. Why not claim the search traffic for your business? It only takes a little bit of planning.

Plus, if you go to a designer or web developer that isn’t an expert at SEO (Most aren’t – even though they say they are), they may not implement a system that allows you to publish new pages and optimize your site around your keywords without paying them $100/hour to make the changes and additions for you. Someone that knows SEO will launch your website in a system that allows you to easily do SEO on a continous basis.

Which brings us to…

#3. Our design firm “DID” SEO for us. This one is probably the most common. There is no such thing as “BEING DONE” with SEO. It’s an ongoing thing. Just the other night, I logged into HubSpot’s Keyword Grader tool and found 2 new keywords that we should target. We rank not-quite-on-the-first-page for both of them and both of them could deliver several several hundred visitors/month once we get to the first page. That’s hundreds more visitors we could attract to our site – with a bit of effort. And we already rank for “internet marketing”, “internet marketing software” and a bunch of other great phrases that are relevant to our business. Doing SEO once is like doing prospecting once. If your salesperson said “I called prospects last month” as a reason for not calling any new prospects this month, what would you say to them right before you fired them?

#2. You built your website entirely in flash. You might as well put an invisible shield up between you and the search engines because they don’t see you.

#1. And the number one most egregious mistake. Drumroll, please… Your site is built entirely in flash, you’re a web design firm and you advertise that you do SEO. I’ve run into two of these people recently. I won’t link to them even though they deserve to be called out.

That about covers it. I hope this was a fun way for you to learn HOW TO DO SEO and not just HOW NOT TO DO SEO. I recently wrote a more detailed post on my blog about how to continuously identify new keywords for your content creation and link building efforts which details the few things that you need to know besides content creation to do SEO effectively. It should dispel any misconception that SEO is some mysterious science not comprehensible by mere business mortals.

Email notes guidliness

* Don’t waste your readers’ time — An email inbox is a busy place, you won’t get much attention.
* Permission matters — Not only do you need to have permission to email people, but it helps to remind them of how they gave you permission, as specifically as you can.
* Relevance trumps permission — Just having permission is not enough, the content you are sending must also be relevant.
* Make unsubscribing easy — There’s no point emailing people who are not interested.
* Image blocking is common — You can’t rely on people actually seeing your images.
* Bring back tables — Structural tables are still often necessary for creating columns.
* Add inline styles — Gmail removes anything else.
* Don’t forget your plain text version —  You can make blocks of text more readable.
* Meet your legal obligations — For example, CAN-SPAM for US senders.
* Test, test, test — It’s the only way to be confident about your design working.

Taxation on natural persons & Corporate tax

Income taxation on natural persons | top Law 2238/1994 (Income Tax Code) Article 1 Tax is imposed on the total net income generated in Greece or abroad that is derived by any natural person that fulfils the requirements of article 2. Article 2 Every natural person that derives income generated in Greece is subject to tax regardless of his nationality and his place of domicile. Every natural person that domiciles in Greece, regardless of nationality, is subject to tax for income derived outside Greece. Article 3 Tax is imposed in every financial year on income derived during the previous economic year. The duration of each financial year is from the 1st of January until the 31st of December of the same calendar year. Article 4 Income on which tax is imposed is the gross income derived from any source after deduction of the expenses incurred to produce it. Tax imposed according to the provisions of this law, penalties or additional taxes are not deducted from this income. Income is distinguished according to its source into the following categories: A-B Income from real property C Income from financial instruments D Income from commercial activities E Income from agricultural activities F Income from remunerated services G Income from the exercise of a liberal profession and from any other source. Income tax is computed on the aggregate income from all sources. Loss from any source is in principle offset against profit from another. Losses incurred in the exercise of commercial, agricultural, mining, industrial and hotel activities can be carried forward up to 5 tax years in order to be set off against profits. Losses incurred from sources outside Greece can only be set off against profits of the taxpayer made outside Greece. Income from the lease of real property or interest on loans that is deemed to have been derived but has not been collected by the taxpayer can be excluded from the computation of the total income provided that a) the taxpayer proves the non-collection of this deemed income and b) the debt is assigned (gifted) by the taxpayer to the State which latter acquires all the legal rights against the taxpayer’s debtor. Article 5 Married couples are obliged to fill in a common tax return but each spouse is taxed on his/her own income separately. Losses of one spouse cannot be set off against gains of the other. If the income of one spouse (A) comes from the exercise of a business / profession which is depended financially on the other spouse (B), this income is added up on the income of that other spouse (B) and is taxed on his/her (B’s) name. Article 8 Provides for certain deductions that are allowed from the net income of the taxpayer: – the annual rent paid for the principal residence of the taxpayer and his/her family – life insurance premiums and nursery fees – medical and hospital expenses – tuition fees for private lessons of foreign languages etc for the taxpayer’s children or for himself – money paid for the purchase of a personal computer, peripherals that constitute an integral part with the p.c. and money paid for gaining access to the Internet. Article 9 The net income remaining after deduction of the expenses (according to article is taxed according to the following tables: Income received between 1.1.2001 – 31.12.2001 (In Greek drachmas) Income scale Tax rate Tax Total income Total tax 2.100.000 0% 0 2.100.000 0 746.000 5% 37.300 2.846.000 37.300 1.706.000 15% 255.900 4.552.000 293.200 3.407.000 30% 1.022.100 7.959.000 1.315.300 9.088.000 40% 3.635.200 17.047.000 4.950.000 over 42,5% n/a n/a n/a Income received after 1.1.2002 (in Euros) Income scale Tax rate Tax Total income Total tax 6.163 0% 0 6.163 0 2.190 5% 110 8.352 110 5.006 15% 751 13.358 860 10.000 30% 3.000 23.357 3.860 26.670 40% 10.668 50.027 14.528 over 40% n/a n/a n/a 4. Corporate income tax | top Taxation of the “E.P.E.” (Limited Liability Company) An E.P.E. pays corporation tax on the profits which actually arise during its accounting period. The rate of the tax for the financial year (1 January to 31 of December) during which the profits arise is currently 29% and as of the 1st of January 2007 it will drop to 25%. With this taxation at 25% of the net profits of the E.P.E., the tax obligation is fulfilled both for the company and its members. This applies for all members of the E.P.E., whether Greek or foreign natural or legal persons regardless of whether there is a treaty for the avoidance of double taxation between Greece and the country of their permanent residence. Profits are considered to be acquired on the same day the meeting of the shareholders resolves on the balance sheets and profits distributed; otherwise they are presumed to be acquired on the last day of a three month period after the expiry of the fiscal year. Until the introduction of law 3190/2002 a so called “business or entrepreneur fee” was deducted from the profits of the EPE. After deduction, the remainder was taxable in the name of the legal entity. That business fee was considered as income of the managing members from commercial activities for which a withholding tax of 15% was imposed plus stamp duty @ 1,20%. By virtue of law 3190/2002 article 8 the business fee system was abolished so that the total income of the EPE is now taxed in its name at 29% (25% as of 1.1.2007). Taxation of the “A.E.” (Company limited by shares or “S.A.”) According to �1e of Law 2238/1994 (Greek income tax code) Greek S.A. companies, other than banks and insurance companies, are taxed based on their total net income or profit derived from their business activity in Greece or abroad. By the same article it is provided that the profits distributed are taken from the remainder of their profits left after the deduction of the corporate income tax payable. Consequently, corporate income tax on S.A. companies is calculated on their total taxable income before the deduction of any profits to be distributed. Of course, dividends distributed are free from any further taxation because they correspond to profits already taxed. An A.E. pays corporation tax @ 29% on the profits which actually arise during the fiscal year. The applicable rate for profits that will arise after 1.1.2007 is 25%.
