Hello, everyone. Here are the most important top 5 factors when comes to ranking in Google. If you are new to SEO, should be helpful to you: 1. Title No surprise here, page title, I just can not stress how important your page title is! Make your title descriptive and to the point. Make sure it contains the exact key terms you are targeting. The position of your title tag could be important to, so make sure in your code, it is RIGHT under <head>. 2. Content Content is king in Google’s eye. Does your page have unique content that is useful to your readers? Think about the love that Wiki got from Google. Well, I am not sure about you, I am jealous. Why can’t Google just love me the way it loved Wiki? So make sure each of your page has at least 200 words description. You don’t need to intentionally stuff keywords in there. If that is what your page is about, keywords will be used very naturally. A little bit of trick can be played here though. You can use proper headings and create prominence (bold and underline your keywords) in your on page description. Keep your content updated regularly and keep it fresh. Google will love it. 3: Quality of backlink When talk about links, I am not opposed of link exchanges as long as the site that links to you is trustworthy and the content is highly related to your site. When acquire links, evaluate the site and ask these important questions: 1: Does the site linking to me has a lot of quality content? 2: Does the site linking to me provides extra “value†to my visitors? 3: Does the site linking to me is authoritative in Google’s eye? Further evaluate based on 3 criteria: a- Look at how many pages are indexed by Google b- Look at how many backlinks are counted by Google c- Look at the PR (some people’s favorite) d- Look at the age of the domain 4. Internal Linking Structure Some people actually ignored this factor. They seem only to know links from other sites are useful since one way link is so hard to obtain and we can do whatever we want with our internal linking structure. (Something that is hard to obtain is always better than something easy we can get). Well, don’t ever overlook the importance of your internal links. In your content, link to your own page with the proper anchor text wherever is appropriate. Say if you have a page ranked well for the term “computer motherboardâ€, in the content on that page, if you link to your page A using “Asus motherboardâ€, then the chance of your page A get ranked for “Asus motherboard†will be much greater than if otherwise. 5. Time Get top ranks on Google takes time! (unless you start with a blog and start to target a long tail niche keywords). Don’t ever expect your hard work would pay off any time soon. Patience is the key. Keep writing quality content, acquiring quality links instead of staring at your PR every day. At last pray!!
Good tips. I was so bored reading newbie talking crap alas someone got it right. I agree with you 100%.
Internal Linking structure is a good point, and the others too. With blogs, if you have an interesting old post talking about something, it is useful to link to it as it can give more information to the reader, as well as keep them on your site for a longer time. Linking to old posts is also a good way to get them noticed again, after people have forgotten about them
