Biggest SEO Mistakes

Leaving title tags to be auto-generated (from the post name, category name, etc.)
Squandering your “crawl equity” by letting pages get indexed that don’t deserve to be (“Email this page” etc.)
Having multiple “homes” for your blog
Not using unique “Optional Excerpt” to minimize duplicate content
Not using rel=nofollow to direct PageRank flow
Over-reliance on date-based archives
No stability in keyword focus on category & tag pages
Suboptimal URLs (too long, too many words, too many directories)
Only one RSS feed, and it’s un-optimized
Hosting blog/feed URLs on a domain you don’t own
Using suboptimal anchor text when linking internally
