But how many of you are able to find the right keywords for your blog or website.

And even if you find them, What is the probability that these keywords will even rank on medium?

Because even if you find the best keywords, It is still hard to match the user intent.

As you don't know exactly what people are searching for, Unless you have a premium subscription of Semrush & Ahrefs.

But don't worry now! Because I discovered a great way to find the best performing keywords on medium.

So let's dive in.

Here are some common mistakes people do which make their articles look spammy and less authentic.

Mistake #1 | Using Target Keyword Multiple Times In Your Introduction.

Mistake #2 | Stuffing Keywords In Your Subtitles.

E.g: Suppose your target keyword is Keyword Research and your article heading is: Best Keyword Research Tips For Beginners.

Worst Subheading: Best Keyword Research Tip #1 | Use Quora For Finding Best Topics.

✔️ Best Subheading: Tip #1 | Use Quora For Finding Best Topics.

Mistake #3 | Using Same Keyword In All Image Alt Tags.

This makes the search engine confused and none of your images get ranked and you think Image SEO doesn’t work.

That’s it! These are some common mistakes people do, which ruins their article’s ranking ability.
