Excessive search engine submittal, broken links, excessive punctuation, empty alt attributes, spam (this refers to any attempt to trick a search engine, such as using irrelevant keywords to draw extra hits, placing invisible content on the page to boost keyword density, and using meta refreshes -often in combination with irrelevant keywords- to draw a user in for an irrelevant search and then direct them to the page you want them to see. These techniques can result in a ban from search engines if they catch them.)

Is there some sort of program that can help eliminate these issues, besides manually?

pretty good suggestions there, thanks. Good job

yep. also there are so many ways to get baned from a search engine. be careful.

I just posted this somewhere else, but it also seems to fit well here.

A write-up of Search Engine Ranking Factors compliments of RandFish over at SEOmoz.

It covers the good and bad ranking factors for major search engines. It is also very current and up-to-date despite the many changes search engines make.

Hope you learn a lot!
