1. Don’t become so obsessed with optimizing your website that you forget to focus on what your visitors want.

2. Don’t add keywords all over your website if they are not relevant.

3. Don’t invest in a cheap server that won’t be able to cope with your traffic.

4. Don’t become obsessed with meta tags, instead spend your time working on creating great content.

5. Don’t “litter” your URL on other people’s sites.

6. Don’t link to others just because they paid you, Google doesn't like that.

7. Don’t create multiple pages with exactly the same content

8. Don’t listen to people who promise instant search engine results. It doesn't happen quickly, getting listed properly in the search engines takes time.

9. Don’t link to websites for the sake of it.

10. Don’t use tools that automatically submit your site’s URL to directories and search engines.

11. Don’t present different content to search engines than you present to users; for example, don’t hide your text to visitors and show it to search engines

12. Don’t “over-optimize”; relax, if search engines required webmasters to heavily optimize, they’d be doing a very bad job.

13. In general, don’t try to outsmart search engines, those maintaining search engines are paid to outsmart webmaster tricks, so in the long run, chances for successful tricks are low.

14. Don't link to websites because they asked for a link and linked to you. Check their site to see whether they are adding any value.

15. Don't forget good content is King.

One of the best ways to achieve high rankings in the search engines is through link building. You absolutely must have numerous quality links to your site or you will never be found in the organic searches. Most webmasters don't have a linking strategy, yet they wonder why their site lacks traffic and sales.

Through  free service available here you can add your website to hundreds of directories.  By doing this the directories should link to you.  With some of the directories having high Pagerank numbers this can be invaluable for your organic listings on Google.

The Google Blog Search is becoming a popular search feature on Google and it is worth understanding how the search results are decided.

The following are positive elements that Google looks for:

- How often the search results get clicked. So if the link in the search results does not get clicked very often, it will soon disappear from the search results.

- The popularity of the blog in terms of the number of subscribers to the blog feeds.

- Inclusion in blogrolls, the better quality the blogroll the more positive impact the search results will be.

- Tagging of posts from users throughout the internet.

- Pagerank

- References to the blog by sources other than blogs

The following are negative elements that Google looks for:

- If there are not regular posts to the blog and sudden rises in posts, Google may well consider it to be spam.

- Content of the blog does not match content of the feed

- Content includes spam keywords

- Posts that primarily link to one page or website.

- Duplicated content

- Blogs that contain posts that are all the same size.
