These mistakes include:
* Not writing relevant content which is according to what people usually search for now: Travel content should be more about being a response to a search query.

* Not looking to building deeper links to use as a booster for your SEO: Don’t just link to your home page but try and build deeper rooted links that go to a specific page. This can be a very useful trick to help stay ahead of other blogs with higher domain authority. There are lots of information available online that can help you in better link building
* Technical mistakes: WordPress is a popular platform that many travel bloggers make use of along with the Yoast SEO plugin, but if you want better results, you need to go beyond this and do so much more:
