SEO Ranking factors have always been a cause of concern for the SEO professionals. It’s partly because ranking factors keep on changing with the periodic algorithm updates rolled out by the search engines. Search engines such as Google continuously change their algorithms in order to improve search results and maintain top position in the market.
So, in order to ward off any confusion, we have identified 9 most important SEO ranking factors for the year. These are given in no particular order, as any of the factors can be critical for SEO ranking.
Content
Content- the king of all factors still reigns supreme and would continue to be so in future. If your campaign is not supported by quality content, you’re at a higher degree of risk compared to your competition.
User-friendliness
Similarly, Google adds great value to user-friendliness, such as site navigation, site architecture and absence of low quality content that serves no purpose other than linking out to other pages in the website.
Quality Backlinks
Google still values quality backlinks as important ranking factors. Be it social media or the mainstream media such as news sites such as Forbes, CNN and Newsweek etc., backlinks from reputed websites and popular blogs always add to your credibility.
