Can I have bad effects with my website with SEO?

[Tommy]

Hi Tammy,

While doing SEO, things can definitely go wrong.

For example,

You might've listened to someone and did some bad SEO such as buying links. Having backlinks are good for your webiste; however, buying links is the bad part. Links are supposed to be earned. Furthermore, links that you buy usually are poor or low authority links and due to the penguin update, it willl harm more than good.

Another thing that can go wrong is you over optimized your site. Such as getting a bunch of bad links as i mentioned above. Keyword stuffed your site.

One way to avoid it is to learn SEO yourself and make sure what you doing is white hat.
