Think about the last time you uploaded an image to your website. Chances are you downloaded it from a stock photography site, uploaded it to the backend of your site, and then inserted it to the page. This makes a shining example of image optimization, right? Not quite.

Over the years, Zero-In has had a half-dozen versions of its website, and relaunching the site never seems to get any easier despite our attempts to learn lessons from each previous launch. In 2015 we set out to redesign our site once again with excitement, optimism, and confidence that prior web design blunders were a thing of the past. We conservatively planned to have the site up and running in less than six months. Spoiler alert... This project ended up taking nearly 18 months and cost 50% more than expected.

SEO has been in constant progression ever since the term was coined. It is not what it used to be 5 or 10 years ago. It has become A LOT more strict and you have to be on top of it to rank your website on Google properly.
A few years ago, all you had to do was to write something and to post it on your website or blog. Nowadays, things are different. You have to follow all the SEO rules.
But even if you do follow them, there are still some mistakes that you cannot allow yourself to make. Some crucial mistakes that you should avoid at all costs.

There’s no arguing that Google still has a stranglehold on the state and future of search engine optimization (SEO). In addition to being the dominant competitor (with 63.4 percent of the market, and the next leading competitor at 22.8 percent), Google is a leading provider of software and tools to measure your site’s performance, including Google Analytics and Google Search Console (previously referred to as Webmaster Tools). When Google makes a significant change to anything, whether it’s its core search algorithm or one of its products, search marketers take notice.
