How well written your content is and how much it brings value to the searcher is paramount to its success on Google's SERPs. The quality and quantity of links you have pointing to your domain determines your overall authority, which in turn determines where you rank for various search queries. Links from longer form, evergreen content (a 1,000+ word article that’s been popular for a long time) will be higher value than short, news-based posts. Google and Bing have moved far beyond algorithms that positively reward a keyword appearing multiple times in the URL string. Don’t hurt your chances of earning a click (which CAN impact your rankings) by overdoing keyword matching/repetition in your URLs.

Large Number Of Authoritative DoFollow Links Pointing To Site

Never sell yourself short and never assume anyone knows your business better than you. Keyword research is something that needs focus and attention. It’s something you should take seriously. Without proper keyword research, you could well be optimizing your texts for the wrong search terms. Adding links and information to a forum signature, for example, is a good way to quickly spread awareness about your website, especially if you post often on a specific forum. It’s OK to do promotion to tell people about your content, but if you can only get links by offering money to people or other big incentives, then you’re likely doing it wrong. One of the best ways to get links is to publish original research. That’s not that hard to do. Find out a question that people have in your industry and then do something to answer that question with data.

Social shares play a huge role in content trustfulness

Search engines were nothing new; the first one was Archie created back in 1990, and there had been more than a few created between then & when Google launched (most notably Yahoo!) The online audience has evolved and expectations are high. They are mobile, they are time poor and they live in a world where sharing ideas and content on social networks is just a natural part of consuming online content. If Google decides a site no longer adheres to its quality guidelines, they may apply a site-wide penalty pushing the results down for every page. The more infractions, and the greater the seriousness of the infractions, the bigger the penalty and the further the site will drop. Colorful images, funny pictures and exciting visual statics are found extremely beneficial in developing tempting and captivating content. If you want the maximum number of people to behold your content, sum up a number of interesting images. However, don’t make it looks like a photography blog.

Address the Audience Directly

Google may penalize specific tactics, but they will never penalize quality. To attract online attention for your business, you can’t just set up a website and social media profile and expect the traffic to roll in. You need to position your brand to show up in online search by utilizing search engine optimization (SEO). Google hasn’t spilled all its secrets regarding how it gauges domain authority; but it’s reasonable to assume that authority is determined based on each individual page, not the entire site or domain as a whole. We asked an SEO Specialist, Gaz Hall, for his thoughts on the matter: "Analyzing content alone is not real SEO. Making a deliverable look pretty for a client is not SEO."

Creativity can take courage

There’s little worse than being notified your website has spam or seeing an alert in search results that your website might have been hacked. Another important factor is the way that the sites link to you, sites that use the rel=nofollow tag to link to you or sites that use a redirect to link to you will not help you, also the search engines look at the text that links to you. Content marketers can harness the power of hybrid content. Alongside posting blogs on a company website, they can create stellar infographics and optimize the ALT attributes and image names, so Google and other search engines index them, and they rank on image search. Users don’t like to wait, and we are becoming more and more accustomed to the fast load times, which means your site will be left in the dust when a user must wait.
