Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is ongoing and always changing factor. Trying to keep the commitment to provide only high quality results via its search engine, Google keeps on changing SEO quality factors to rank a website and evaluate its content’s worth. Though Google never reveals it’s all ranking factors but as soon as it finds out any of its current ranking factors is being overused or abused, it changes the factor and define new, better filter to rank websites.
This is what happened with SEO last year. In 2015, some of the most important ranking factors which were overlooked are –
- Exact-match keywords, both in article and domain name
- Keyword optimization for On-page/Off-page SEO was everything
- People have started writing according to search engines and not according to real human readers to provide them good user experience.
- Length of content wasn’t an issue
- Optimizing website for mobile view wasn’t important
But now in 2016, if we observe only these common factors, we can quickly see by comparing just few Google search results that only keyword optimization in on-page and off-page SEO doesn’t help.
Google has improved its semantic search factor so, exact-match keywords aren’t necessary. People who write for real human readers (and not to only optimize content for search engine bots) are ranking comparatively high, lengthy good content are ranking at top and those who have optimized their website for mobile layout are enjoying this factor as an extra candy.
