Content is still king

– you need to start having a good copy, your text is the most important part of your website, without that “ranking, conversion, engagement” will not exist, so make sure you have the right content, I will never stop emphasizing that NO website will ever rank without good and original content.
– Each page you write about you need to choose a good title for your “h1” header. Meaningful, rich with the keywords you going to target. You can use even “h1” in your page but don’t go overboard or Google will kick you on the butt.
-Now that you have a nice page full of content and headers.. try to make it more entertaining let’s add some pictures and a nice good looking page.. don’t forget to add meaningful alt tag descriptions to your pictures.
– Every time you a new page don’t forget to link some keywords to a similar page on your website… this internal linking is another of the Google ranking factors ( I know are more than 200.. )
– what we need now is to add to the page title URL under 100 characters, title tags 65-75 characters long, meta description tag 160 characters long
– so far so good you practically done with your lovely pages, now is time to jump and grab your FTP client that you will alongside your Webmaster tool.
