2 – Not putting the main keyword in Title Tag. Since your page title always appears in the search results, so you should put your main keywords in 'title' tag of your site. This is very important place for your keyword.
3 – Optimizing flash websites. Flash sites are some but difficult to optimize. As crawler can not read the website content of the flash website and so they are unable to index them. If you want that Search Engines may index your flash based website then an alternative is to provide a HTML version of that flash website.
4 – Avoid using JavaScript’s for navigation in your webpage as Search Engines can not read this. If you are using JavaScript then to crawl all links of your webpage you have to build a site map or use noscript tags for your links.
