Pick a niche that has a large enough appeal to give you a big market but at the same time, pick a niche that won’t be too competitive for you to make any dent in. Look for subject matters that cater to a specific audience and that people can really get passionate about. Most businesses understand the importance of — and the general idea behind — search engine optimization, the practice of getting a website URL to appear at the top of a search results page in order to make it easier for customers to find and use a business. But the deeper into the mechanics of SEO you get, the less clear best practices become. The goal of negative SEO is to lower the rankings of competitor websites. This, they believe, will subsequently elevates their own rankings once the competition is out of the way. You need to migrate your website from one host to another, or one platform to another, even to a fresh domain. Website migrations are one of the most complicated aspects of any SEO campaign.
Basic on-page SEO factors to look for
Longer URLs may decrease search visibility. Use the main keyword in the URL and keep It short and simple Make sure you
spend time optimizing the content on your website. Good website content is easy to read by visitors and consistent when compared against both the title and tags listed with the story. Otherwise, search engines may rank your content poorly, making it more difficult for you to find a following. Creating a plan of works for improving your search engine rankings or identifying why a website isn’t ranking well isn’t always straight forwards. Authority relates to the link profile of any site. But not just the number of links. That bears little importance.
Is the content of each page relevant to that SEO term?
Don't deceive your users or present different content to search engines than you display to users, a practice commonly referred to as cloaking. Today, due to
the way backlinks are evaluated based on different industry-related ranking factors, it is less quantity focused and more about the quality of sites from which the links are coming. Google’s Penguin 4.0 is now included in the core algorithm and is updated in real-time as of September 2016. Before this rollout, website owners waited years to recover rankings lost because of questionable SEO practices related to manipulating links. Quality means not something rammed with keywords which isn’t actually very useful or easy to read. Good quality content is something useful, or interesting to the readers. You want it to be well written, broken up with subheadings and images to make it easier to read.
Blow out LSI keywords to build rich content pages
Google doesn’t want to deliver you “results” anymore, they want to deliver answers.
And the best answers don’t come from content farms, they come from websites that
are crafted with their visitors -- human beings -- in mind. Use keywords relevant to your products and services that your customers are searching for, especially in your Title Tags and internal links. Links from low-quality sites will do very little for your visibility. If the site practices Black Hat SEO (link-schemes, spamming, doorway pages) then can potentially harm your ranking. According to
SEO Consultant, Gaz Hall: "Scraping feeds to create automated content for your website is plain stupid. Either for affiliate gain or just to add content to your website, this type of content, to lure Google to your site, doesn’t add any value to the internet, Google or any human. It just slows down Google, as it has to decide on whether this content is of any value to its visitors. It’s not most of the times."
Align your SEO copywriting efforts with the conversion funnel
A variety of studies support the idea that Google incorporate social signals when ranking a webpage. For experienced marketing
teams, the content creation process has become a high-level assembly line. While it's true that keyword-stuffing will be harshly penalised by Google, intelligent use of on-page tags that help potential customers to find your site remains vital; the margin between the best SEO company and the also-rans frequently lies here. Make sure the site's meta descriptions and titles include both primary and secondary keywords and are unique for each page. All images' alt text need to be keyword optimised and descriptive, without forgetting to optimise video content as well with relevant meta data. You might think that it is pointless to start learning SEO tips and tricks as the algorithms of search engines keep changing. That may be true to some extent but you’ll also notice that the points we will talk about below, have been there from the start and still play a vital role.
