3. Keyword Density : Place the keywords across the page.

Being specific assures you a better placement and FAST.

3. Linking with the wrong keywords : When you are linking to a page with Nissan Car parts, dont link from a word “Car parts” of “Nissan”. Link it with the right keyword. This enables a better ranking.
