Mobile SEO is a challenge for digital marketers. The screen being small and of low resolution hinders searches from scrolling down to the bottom of a page, let alone be going to the next page. The other point that has become increasingly important is that relevant anchor text should be used in links. This applies not just to external links pointing into your site, but internal linkages throughout your Web site. A large chunk of my time finding links is by looking through my competitor's link profiles. Essentially, you're piggy backing off of their success. You should ensure that the first paragraph or so of text on your web page is entirely relevant to what your site is about. Sometimes search engines take the first paragraph or first few sentences even of your website page and use that for their description of your web page. Also, in terms of the text on your web page it is often good to place limits on the length of how much text that you put on a web page. A suggested lower bound would be 300 words and an upper boundary of about 750 words.

Number of backlinks to the domain

If Google and the rest of the search engines trust you and they respect the content you produce, you’ll climb the search rankings. There’s no shortcut to ranking on the first few pages of the search results. Search engines don’t trust your website at first. You have to earn their trust – and it’s a slow process. There was a time when “keyword density” meant something for SEO content. Social media networks can help you to give your content the initial boost it requires before the media and other interested users find it. Responsive design — or, in other words, a Web layout that provides a quality experience no matter the screen size — is among the factors Google uses to determine search results. You may even find your site penalized if you haven’t yet embraced responsive design.

Start mapping your SEO needs to pages

A page’s speed is crucial, so don’t forget testing it from time to time. From heavy images to unnecessary scripts, there is always a reason that your site gets slow.. Evergreen content. Content you write once, and have it ranking for years and years. Content that constantly brings in traffic and compounds in value. High authority links are great, but in my opinion, relevant links win the game every time. Gut, brain, intuition, emotional intelligence, whatever you want to call it, humans can’t be beat for determining relevance.

Google and the rest of the search engines rank webpages, not websites

SEO is not hard. It does, however take time – it involves technical tweaks on your website, competitive analysis/content strategy, and building links from around the web. An authority website is a site that is trusted. It’s trusted by its users, trusted by industry experts, trusted by other websites and trusted by search engines. Don’t get fooled by those agencies that offer 100% guarantee to get your website amongst the top results in a short time. The only one who can do this are Search Engines (which you can’t fool) themselves. Gaz Hall, from SEO Hull, had the following to say: "The semantic analysis of a link’s value does go deeper than just the anchor text"

Use more than one search engine

Stop using keywords in your titles. Why? Because if you don’t know how to optimize a Web page without stuffing your title, then you don’t know how to optimize a Web page. Titles and URLs are options, not requirements, in search engine optimization. Learn to understand and fully appreciate the difference between being able to do something and needing to do something. The reason you want natural, helpful, informative links is that you don’t want to have to constantly replace links ignored by the search engines and you don’t want to suffer from penalties and downgrades. Link acquisition should happen without anxiety. Building a strong site architecture and providing clear navigation will help search engines index your site quickly and easily. This will also, more importantly, provide visitors with a good experience of using your site and encourage repeat visits. If your products or services are good and you have a solid marketing strategy, you will achieve both PageRank and customers. If, on the other hand, you do anything to piss Google off, you can forget about traffic coming in via search, and I wish you the best of luck!
