So here are 10 advanced tips and tricks that will help you immensely in the year to come.
The AI factor
‘Rankbrain’ or Google’s AI algorithm was first announced in 2015. (https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-10-26/google-turning-its-lucrative-web-search-over-to-ai-machines) Since then, the importance of Rankbrain in helping sort search results has magnified. Today, it is considered to be the third most important ranking factor. Experts suggest that it can very soon be ‘THE’ most important one. There are two main factors that Rankbrain considers. The ‘Click through rate’ to your site and the amount of time a user spends on your site, which is now being called ‘Dwell Time’. We consider it to be a spin-off of bounce rate. To optimize for Rankbrain, get the best content that money can buy. More people will click through and stay on your site. Simple!
The ‘Click Through Rate’ Factor
Today, a поисковая система results page is not merely about the top 10 results. There are rich snippets grabbing the attention of the user. Then there’s the ‘Answer Box’. Don’t forget Google’s own cash cow, ‘Advertisements’. The point is, that the number of distractions on the first page has only gone up and quite naturally, CTR to organic search results have reduced. To keep Rankbrain happy, as well as to stay relevant for your users, boost your CTR. Use attractive headings, keep your schema data updated, research better keywords, analyze, rinse and repeat.
Content
It’s pretty obvious that for the first two factors that we mentioned here to work, you need top-notch content. And it’s not just about 500 words or 1000 words any ad-hoc number. It’s about as detailed as it can get. Would 5000 words sum up all that needs to be told about the topic? Is it 10000 words? Don’t bother about whether the visitor will or will not read it. Keep it readable. Make it interesting. Add tables, videos, polls, graphs. But write as much as you can without it sounding overstuffed or irrelevant.

Keywords
You can talk all day about fancy words, upcoming tech and Google’s wizardry. But at the end of the day, it still boils down to the keywords you use, the content on your site and the people that link back to you. Keywords have become all the more important though. When it comes to supporting the content, you need LSI keywords. LSI stands for ‘Latent Semantic Индексирование’ and in simple terms, it means adding keyword phrases or words that are related to the blog post topic. If you are writing about SEO, some of the possible LSI keywords are, ‘webpage’ ‘optimization’ ‘search results’ ‘SEO consultants’ and so on. Исследование ключевых слов is the cornerstone of a successful SEO campaign. Click here to speak to us about our ‘Исследование ключевых слов’ Service.
Go Mobile Friendly
