Traditional SEO

  • Crawlers look for how links are connected in a page. Dont mess it up
  • Unique and targeted content includes relevant terminology. (Front end masters should include sass functions, AMP etc as keywords for depth, adding online learning will be thrown out by search engines)
  • Content Richness - add video, gifs, images but also focus on text. SE will look into how long people might want to stay in page
  • Frequent Updates. Page is different when crawled freqwuently
  • Link Building (Influential sites link to your site)
  • Keyword stuffing (over done- not necessary anymore)
  • Businesses with physical locations
    1. pay for local chamber of commerce
    2. back links from vendors and partners
    3. checkout google search console to see how website ranks for keywords
  • Page Rank
    1. Inbound links to our site from high quality/ high seo sites increase our page rank
    2. High SEO sites ( more people visit and more inbound links, less outbound links)
  • Long Tail Keywords - Look for high intent keywords, top keywords are already occupied
