Did you blog die while you were sleeping?

Things happen overnight in the SEO world. With the Panda update, Google punished thousands of sites. But you don’t need a Panda to let your blog die – you may well do it yourself. Here are three great ways for this tragedy to occur.
Over optimizing your blog
This is one of the easiest ways to make your blog die. In our over enthusiasm we want to fill our blog posts with as many keywords as possible and as many times. For example, if your blog is on auto insurance, you would like to stuff your posts with as many variations of this keyword as possible. In most cases this leads to a holy mess which no human being can decipher. In SEO parlance this is called keyword stuffing. Google can become very angry with you if you keep up this kind of behavior and one fine day (or night) you will find that your blog is dead while you were asleep.
Keyword Density and such stuff
Many SEO experts suggest that you keep your enthusiasm limited to 2-3% keyword density. To me even this is unnecessary. You must write naturally and leave the density to nature. You will find that eventually you will get it right. Never get into the optimum keyword density stuff. It may kill your blog. If you are writing on auto insurance, write on the subject not around the keyword.
