Google who made these algorithm factors. However, there are many SEO experts
who are working on these factors to understand the fact behind them since

listed 15 major factors out of 200, which you should use in 2016 to get best
ranking for your websites in Google.
1. Content Length
And here is the magic, you will knock more ranking factors if
you have a lengthy article. The lengthier article you write, have more chance
for good ranking in search engines. An article of 2000 words is 5 times better
than the article below 500 words. The chance for an above to 2000 words is 20
percent higher than 500 words article. This SEO factor really matter.
2. Keyword in Domain Name
If you have a domain containing your primary keyword, then
you are the boss for that keyword. The chances are very high for getting 1st
position in search engines such as Google. Domain name with a keyword help
search engine’s crawlers in finding relevant results and pages on the same blog
or website.
3.Main Keyword in post Title
Title is most important and main part of an article, and it’s
also very important for SEO concerned. The first thing Google consider in the
article as the signal for SERP (Search
Engine Result Page) is title of the article. So, you must have to use your
main keyword wisely in article title so that it looks perfect and describes the
meaning of your whole article in one line. To choose best keyword for your
post, Read my article.
4. Updated Content
In past days, you write an article and use it for many years
and decades. But now a day this technique no longer work. Now you have to
update your content regularly whenever technology changes and when there is any
change about what you have written in your article. You have to make it your
habit to update your content according to new trends.
5. W3 Validation
If
your website JavaScript HTML/CSS code is according to W3 standard, then it is
big plus point for you to get high ranking in search engines. Don’t waste your
time, go and check your site’s code whether it is valid or not.
6. Domain Name Age
In real SEO, it is well saying that old domain names are the
Queens. The elder domain you have, the more it is better for your website
ranking. If a domain name is 1-year-old, it is less chance to rank higher than
5-year-old domain name. so domain name age is a real and important fact for
SEO.
7. Sitemap for Your Website
Sitemaps
are still very important factor of SEO for ranking your website in search
engines. Sitemap is the full map of your website’s links. Crawlers love to go
through the website’s sitemap to index all the pages and posts in their
databases.
8. Sharing on Social Media
Social
media can do a big role in SEO in these days, social media really matters a
lot. If you have more shares on social media, comments and likes on your blog
article or post, then it will automatically give the signal to search engines
to rank your post as soon as possible. So make sure to drop your post links on
all popular social media networks and also get maximum shares from your
website’s readers.
9. Keyword in H1 & H2 Tags
H1 & H2 are the ministers, if content is king and title
is queen. It is another important fact for SEO. If you include your keyword in
H1 and H2, you will have a better chance for good ranking more than your
expectations in search engines such as Google. Check out my detailed post on SEO Using Heading Tags
10. Website Speed & Mobile Optimized
If your website is not mobile friendly, and it is not opening
in 2 seconds, then you are really in a big trouble. You have to choose mobile
friendly theme for your website so everyone on any device can access your
website, and speed up the load time of your website. By doing these things
search engines will love your website.
11. Avoid Duplicate Content
You should always try to avoid by copying or
writing duplicate content, if you write your own and have a clean and unique
content without any duplication, then believe me you are the boss. Search
engines cannot accept any excuses about duplicate content.
12. Keyword Density as Low as Possible
Keyword Density is the quantity and the number of the
keywords you use in your one whole article, the maximum limit of keyword in an
article is 3%. But if you use your keyword up to 1-2% wisely, then are still
high chances of getting your desired ranking in SERP. Before posting the
article, don’t forget to check the keyword density by using different online
tools.
13. Relevant & Penguin safe Backlinks
Penguin is a tool introduced by Google to
find and catch up spammy backlinks, so now you have to be very careful while
creating your website’s backlinks, because if you use any software to build
backlinks, it will harm your website and negative point for you. The links
which are not relevant to your website are also considered as negative or
spammy backlinks.
14. Domain Authority
Domain
Authority (DA) is something that you should take seriously, before this, there
was Page Rank which we use to
improve our website overtime. But now, DA has replaced Page Rank, now you
should build backlinks on the websites which have higher and better DA than
your website. If you are succeeded to achieve the rank 40 or 50 then make a
celebration for this success.
15. Videos & Images in Article
A few years ago, we can rank text based articles and posts
very easily in Google, but now it is not work more, now you must have to add
some media in your article like images & videos in order to get better
ranking in search engines. Don’t use too much videos & images in your
posts/articles, keep balance ratio between your post and media.
