    What I have taught, in the past with some of my own products (not a plug) is that there is no short-cut to SEO.
    It takes time and when you follow the guidelines laid out you will have success.
    A lot of people think you can black-hat their way to page 1 in like 2 days.
    Is it possible?
    Yes
    Will it last?
    No
    Are there other things you can do?
    Yes like using a Private Blog Network or getting backlinks.
    I've used software and stuff and got good page rankings.
    But they didn't last.
    Google loves relevant content.
    And when you follow the guidelines laid out you can't go wrong.

    The rules are simple ...
    1. Build links without spamming. And you can do that by building pages that are helpful when you build backlinks on other websites, not just content to get links.
    2. Don't buy links.
    3. Stay away from spam and over optimization.

    Write unique content and use the keywords that you are targeting in the title's of your pages, in H1, H2 and H3 tags and throughout your content, but don't over do it.

    Submit links to your website in social networks like Twitter or Reddit. It's going to take time for your organic traffic to start building up, it's just the nature of Google these days. Unless you have your own private network of blogs/websites, link building is going to take time.

    SEO has to be a daily bread for your blog if you want it to rank high, on page, off page, backlinks, etc. As already mentioned, you should remember that no short cut will stand the test of time, the best way is to always get all these things done the right way. And that means painstakingly taking your time to do it right.

    hallo

    1. On-Site SEO Basics
    the most important elements for search engine optimization happen on your own website.

    - keyword research process
    Title Tag
    Meta Description

    ** If you use WordPress on your own domain, you are in luck. Adding title tags and meta descriptions to your pages is easy using free plugins such as All in One SEO, Platinum SEO, and SEO by Yoast. You can also get SEO suggestions by using premium plugins such as Scribe SEO.

    Additional On-Site SEO Elements

    Internal Links
    Header Tags
    Image Name & ALT Tags
    Bolded Text

    2. Need Content

    The key to pleasing both search engines and visitors is to have quality content on our website. Quality content can include a variety of things including, but not limited to, the following.

    Blog Posts
    Industry Articles
    Tutorials & How To Guides
    Infographics
    Videos
    Podcasts
    Creating quality content for your website can be a huge investment

    3. Off-Site Optimization ( Link Building)

    three kinds of links and link building techniques.

    Organic Links – These are links you don’t have to ask for, and they are the best kind. Especially if you can get them on sites with high authority such as major news outlets and other well-recognized name websites.

    Whitehat – This basically stands for good, quality link building

    Blackhat – This stands for spammy, low-quality link building

    4. Google+ Can Help with Rankings
    5. Monitoring Your Results

    u need to know and read all the updates are publishing for SEO.

    thank u

    Following points are a must to do for On-Page optimization:
    Title Tag-> It should be descriptive that which services do you provide?
    Keywords-> You should target such keywords whose monthly searches are high along with keeping competition factor low, if possible.
    Meta Description-> Make full use of 165 characters, which Google has allowed you. Make it descriptive in such a way that’ll attract your customers. Mention the services you provide.
    Alt Tags-> Alt tags should be placed in a right manner, but make sure that none of the images are missing alt tags.
    Sitemap.XML-> Your website should have its sitemap as well. Provide one as it’ll be helpful for your site.

    The list of Off-Page optimization factors is quite long but I’ll mention the ones which you should try as a beginner. They are listed below:
    • Social Bookmarking
    • Ping
    • Social Media Profiles (Twitter, Facebook, Google+, LinkedIn, Pinterest etc.)
    • Local Business Listings
    • Blog Posting
    • Article Posting
    • Directory Submission
    • Forums Posting
    • Answering Forums (Quora, Yahoo etc.)
    • Classified Ads
    • Keywords Research
    • Back links Analysis
    I hope my answer will be helpful to you.
