Internal Linking

The one of the best way to give a juice of backlinks to your content is internal linking and google also advice webmasters for internal linking.(for beginners - Internal linking is linking your site's content with each other or adding link of contents in one and other).

Internal linking is good for seo but some destroy there google career by using it in bad way(spamming). Therefore, here are the some things which you should consider during internal linking.

1. Never link any page two times in one blog's post or page.
2. add the anchor text to links which are relevant to the linking page. for example, if I add the anchor text "New cars for sale" to the link which is about food and drinking. This looks irrelevant and google adds this in spamming.
3. The page in which you are going to add the link and the linking page should also be relevant to each other in some extent.
4. Never add the same anchor text to more than one link. If you do you are in trouble.
5. you can add link either in the plane text or can also add link separately as I have done in above paragraph.

Natural Backlinks

Natural backlinks are those which are given to your site content by any other webmaster when he reads your content and like it and due to quality content he add link of that content in his own site. 

It is clear that you only get this type of links if you have quality and great piece of content which anyone reads and impress with you and add the link back to your content.

Choosing Good keywords

I agreed with all of you that Content is the King but Keywords are also still matters a lot in search engine ranking. We have to choose the good keywords for our site's content and also for content's title and description. We also discuss the significant of keywords in title and description but first you have to know that how can you do a good keyword research. 

For this I recommend you the below post. In this post I have briefly described that how we can do good keyword research, some other working ways for keywords research rather than Google keyword planner. and placement of keywords in Content and title. To read that post, follow the below post link:

Keywords in title and description

You should have to add the best keywords on your site's content's title and description. If you don't then you may not get good ranking in search engine and also not much users clicks on social media.

Let's take example:

Suppose that you write great and descriptive content about tips to loose fat but you add keywords in the title which are not have been search most in the search results then you may receive very low traffic from search result. 

and also if you add the keywords in title such as check this out, click here for some amazing tips or something like this then you may also not get much traffic from social media and from search engine'. And this is also same for description.

Bonus tip: Always try to write your title and description more and more descriptive, the one which describe your content very well from all point of views.

Social signals

While ranking in google social signals to the content also matter. Therefore, to get high serp in search engines you also have to get good signals from social media. 

The most important social media signals which matters more are:

1. Google+
2. Facebook
3. Twitter

Other social media's also matters but these three are more important than others.

Whenever you publish new content also share it on social media and try to get more likes, shares and responses from social media. You can also add the facebook like button, tweet button and google+ button in your site. The best place is on top of the content or at bottom of the content. You can also add at the sidebar which floats.

For the Blogger users here are the some recommended posts which may help you to add the social media buttons in your site:

1. Subcribe Box with Pure CSS Social Buttons
2. Add social share buttons on image hover,Text highlight in blogger

Push Content at First

Search engine crawlers crawl web pages very literally and linearly. Therefore, search engine give more importance to that which comes first. So to make crawlers crawl your content better try to push your content at the top and place the other links at the bottom. 

Let's consider if you have important content which placed below the Lot's of not much important images and links then google crawlers give more importance to the unnecessary rather than the targeted content the reason only is that you have placed it after Lot's of links and images. Therefore, always place your targeted content at first and then place other images and links.

Increase site load time

Every one now in hurry and want things get faster. If you have slow site loading speed which will take up to 6 seconds to load then i think no one stick around for seven to eight seconds and lost all patience, he simply click on the cross button and move away to other tab. The another reason why we should increase our site load time is that google now also consider site load time in search engine ranking.

Try to increase your site load time as you can. Take a look at your site coding and style and remove all the coding which are not much necessary as it is taking up the space and making your site load slower, simply remove it.

Wordpress users have some plugins through them they can increase their site load time. If you are a wordpress user then take a look at some wordpress plugins to speed up wordpress site.

The more faster your site the more faster it crawled by the crawlers.

Avoid Keyword Stuffing

You should have to avoid keyword stuffing. Avoid keyword stuffing as it is bad habit and also major seo mistake. To not look dumb your content you have to avoid keyword stuffing. I also avoid keyword stuffing as it is bad habit.

Look at the above paragraph!... What i did. The above paragraph has the stuffed keyword "avoid keyword stuffing" as it comes four times in three lines and only one time is enough for understanding. This is a simple demo of what we have to avoid. Most of the people stuffed the targeted keyword in order to get the attention of the google but now google becomes more complex and he simply kick out content like that.

Use relevant anchor text

For beginners who don't know what is anchor text, Anchor text is a text that has a hyperlink attached to it. Always use relevant anchor text for links as google will determine the relevancy of the link through his anchor text.

For example, if you have anchor text seo techniques which have a link which leads to car parts page then we say that it's  bad and irrelevant anchor text and google hate it and may gt you penalized.

Most of the people use unnatural or irrelevant anchor text to get better rank for the specified keyword which is used as a anchor text, but they might don't know what google may done with them.

Another mistake most of the people do is they create more that one link with the same anchor text. You also avoid this thing too as if you done this then you may face the google penalty. If you have any existing content with irrelevant anchor text then remove it now.

Broken links

What happen when you are doing some thing important and open a page and suddenly see a 404 error page! ohhh!... what the hell is this? yes we all say some thing like this. Google also get anger when he see the page like this.

Do some regular checking of your site and its content and keep checking for the broken links. If you find then thoroughly replace it with other alternative link. To check your site for the broken links there are also some best SEO tools you can try them.

Make Title and meta description Unique

I also agree with all of you that content is the king, but I also say that title also have Lot's of importance which matters in ranking your content for both search engines and for users and same is for the meta description.

Make sure to make your title and meta description unique for every page of your site because they both describe your content to the search engine and the users.

Try to use the popular keywords and the the keywords which may act as a click magnet to the users. To find like that keywords you first have to do a little research for it and also may use some other ways with the google keyword planner. To get know how you can do right keyword research then this one may help you:

Use Consistent URLs

Some of the friends do a common mistake  that they not make their urls consistent means the url of the content is not same for the users, interlinking and for the xml sitemap. 

Always use same urls for the site pages everywhere. If you don't then when google see multiple urls are linking to the same page he think weather you are spamming and you may get penalized. If you still have any canonical urls in your sitemap or using in your internal linking then remove it now and update them with the same urls for all.
