Leave a comment below, letting know what you think the biggest SEO mistake is. We gave you that hint right? Now before We break down the SEO mistake, We want to first tell you that you need to think long term.

See, We was shortsighted when We first got started into the role of entrepreneurship and marketing. When We was in the early twenties, and even before that, when We was 16, 17, 18, because We started SEO when We was around 16 years old. And to give you context, now I'm 37. We want to make money fast. So fast, We look for shortcuts.

And there was this one site called Battlefield Bypass which was expired domain with a lot of authoritative links. These links were naturally generated and not purchased because it was a national park site. And it was part of the award that happened on that land. So We bought it, converted it into online casino site. Within months, We was ranking the top three positions on Google for the term "online casino".

That keyword is worth hundreds and thousands of dollars a month in affiliate revenue. Not thousands, hundreds of thousands to give you perspective. That's millions of dollars a year. That's a lot of money, especially when you're under 20 years old. But within months, Google whacked me! All of a sudden that site lost all of its rankings. In essence, We was trying to cheat the system by getting traffic and rankings by cheating instead of providing value.

See, the sites that rank in the top in the long run are the ones that users love the most. No one that cheats their way to the top lasts forever. Just think of it this way. You don't really care if a site at the top has a lot of back links or better on page code. You only care if that site solves your problem and ideally in a quick and affordable fashion.

Now We learned a lot from this mistake, and We made tones of others as well. But The content Creator had the shortcut mentality when We was young and We was growing up. And if We could go back in time We would stop taking shortcuts. And We would be much further in the career even as an entrepreneur. That's the big SEO mistake.
