From its earliest days, Google's core search algorithm offered the most relevant and most organic search results quickly and accurately on a simple site with an iconic logo that has now become synonymous with the search giant's business. Searching amidst the world's vast data, Google cleverly cataloged and categorized pages using its PageRank formula, which assessed the quantity and power of links to any given webpage. Google wants to see that you have a legitimate site with legitimate traffic. This means your content needs to be stellar. Relevance versus authority: these two metrics are always at the forefront of a link builder’s mind. Remember: quality is always more important than quantity when it comes to links, content, and SEO in general. Plenty of spammy links can only harm your rankings, not make them higher.
Bad SEO is not always about a direct violation of search engine rules
Understanding and recognizing how PageRank flows can make a difference in your SEO campaigns. The difference in many cases will be small, but in a competitive environment, every advantage counts. Running a PBN
is time-consuming, it costs money and building clean, legitimate backlinks from real websites doesn’t have to be difficult. Mobile SEO should always be a work in progress because there are always new things to improve. Also, technologies arrive or get discarded. A work around so as to fix this phenomenon is to track what Google analytics calls the adjusted bounce rate. In order to track this “modified” bounce rate the only thing you have to do is to add one extra line of code to your website’s Google analytics tracking script. In this way Google analytics will executes an event when a user has spent over a certain amount of time on the page.
Determining Your SEO Objectives
The search engines will act rapidly to penalize sites that contain viruses or trojans. Search engine optimization
should be a part of a website for its lifetime, continuously improving its ability to make a brand (and its content) be more visible and to create a better experience for users. Anchor text can affect how Google weighs up links to your site. If linking to your homepage and referring to your brand, anchor text should just say your website or brand name. Links to your homepage that are more descriptive “leading experts in local SEO” can be seen as manipulative, so you want to avoid this. In many cases, the higher you are on page one the more traffic you will receive. The farther down your content is positioned on the page of results, the fewer people will click on your content listing and visit your website.
The more keyword phrases you optimize a page for the more targeted search engine traffic you will receive
Google can’t infer or “make sense of pictures, colours or music.” So it needs help. Google needs help to recognise the things it cares about: inbound links that indicate your popularity, frequently used words, headings, bulleted and numbered lists, links, bolded, italicised and underlined words. SEO is here to serve not only you – a website owner, blogger, entrepreneur but most of all a user who, at the same time, is your potential visitor, follower, happy customer and dedicated brand advocate. Use your keywords in the meta-tags, web page title, sub-headers and web content. Make your web content unique. A keyword density of 1-3% and word count of more than 400 words is ideal for on-page optimization. Create a sitemap page to make search engines spiders love your web pages. This helps in indexing the internal pages fast. According to
SEO Consultant, Gaz Hall: "Very often, a quick reaction can mean the difference between success and failure. On the Internet, it is pretty similar. It is extremely important to be aware of your competitor's activities."

Search engines are ranking pages for a given query and including links that are relevant and semantically (synonyms, close-variants and tangentially-related phrases) related to the topic. Reviews tell what
other people, your customers, think of your product. If you respond to reviews, you show your (potential) customers that you care about their opinion. Showing up on search engines is one of the most critical ways to increase website traffic and expose your content, product or service to people who might be interested in what you have to offer. This means that you'll want to practice a little SEO (search engine optimization). To make a website stand out in the depth of the internet is the hardest job for everyone who runs an online business. There’s no magic recipe that can be applied and give sustainable results. However, search engines tend to reward those websites that bring a real value to their users.
