Interesting question....

There is a lot to do about this topic since Google stopped giving so much credit for EMD (exact match domains)
The most activities that can have a negative effect on your SERP is over-optimizing your site witch exact match domain, H2 title, x% keyword density etc.
Search engines love to see relevant content and a diversity of media like video,text and pictures.

Hope this helps

Some of the SEO strategies that will have negative effect on search engine ranking are:
keyword stuffing: if you have more than 5 percent keywords in your content, it will consider keyword stuffing and it will down rank your website.
Excessive backlinking: Backlink helps in SERP. however, if you are doing excessive backlinking, it will have a negative effect in SERP
backlinking to inferior sites or lowly ranked sites: if your site is backlinked with a site that has low rank than yours, it will not help you in SERP.
