16. Illness: You still have some left over graphic files
Prescription: That?s okay. The web is visual after all. Just make sure you add alt tags to your images and put keyword phrases in those tags.
17. Illness: Tinny Little Letters
Prescription: Remove all small font tags below size 2. Use CSS if you have to.
Doctors Notes:
Many spammers employ the technique of placing keywords in small font on a webpage. This way the visitor does not notice them, but search engines will pick them up. However, search engines have caught on and now for some search engines may consider those small font words as an attempt to spam.
There are legitimate reasons to use small font sizes as part of the normal site design. If you need to do this, then do so by formatting the font with CSS rather than HTML.
18. Illness: Your site redirects or refreshes
Prescription: Stop redirect and refreshing
Website Doctor?s Notes:
Years ago, ?gateway? pages were popular. These were multiple highly optimized web pages that attracted search engines and then redirected people to another (not so relevant) page. The search engines caught on, and labeled sites with these types of pages as spammers.
Although your site may use redirect for a legitimate reason, you do not want to take a chance of being labeled as a spammer.
