On-Page SEO: Anatomy of a Perfectly Optimized Page (2016 Update)

Unknown / /
Here, We'll discuss some good techniques about Strong On Page SEO


1. Use SEO-Friendly URLs


Google has stated that the first 3-5 words in a URL are given more weight.

So make your URLs short and sweet.

And always include your target keyword in your URL.

In other words:

Avoid ugly URLs: http://wpseolearning.blogspot.com/p=123
Or long URLs: http://wpseolearning.blogspot.com//8/6/16/cat=SEO/on-page-seo-is-so-amazing-omg-its-the-best


2. Start Title With Keyword


Your title tag is the most important on-page SEO factor.

In general, the closer the keyword is to the beginning of the title tag, the more weight it has with search engines.

3. Add Modifiers To Your Title


Using modifiers like “2016”, “best”, “guide”, and “review” can help you rank for long tail versions of your target keyword.


4. Wrap Your Blog Post Title in an H1 Tag


The H1 tag is your “headline tag”. Most CMS’s (like WordPress) automatically add the H1 tag to your blog post title. If that’s the case, you’re all set.

But some themes override this setting. Check your site’s code to make sure your title gets the H1 love it deserves.

5. Dazzle with Multimedia


Text can only take your content so far. Engaging images, videos and diagrams can reduce bounce rate and increase time on site: two critical user interaction ranking factors.

6. Wrap Subheadings in H2 Tags


Include your target keyword in at least once subheading…and wrap it in an H2 tag.

7. Drop Keyword in First 100 Words


Your keyword should appear in the first 100-150 words of your article.

8. Use Responsive Design


Google started penalizing mobile unfriendly sites in 2015. And they’re likely crack down even more in the future. If you want to make your site mobile-friendly, I recommend Responsive Design.

9. Use Outbound Links


This is an easy, white hat SEO strategy to get more traffic.

Outbound links to related pages helps Google figure out your page’s topic. It also shows Google that your page is a hub of quality info.

10. Use Internal Links


Internal linking is SO money. Use 2-3 in every post.


11. Boost Site Speed


Google has stated on the record that page loading speed is an SEO ranking signal. You can boost your site speed by using a CDN, compressing images, and switching to faster hosting.

Make sure your site doesn’t take more than 4 seconds to load: MunchWeb found that 75% of users wouldn’t re-visit a site that took longer than 4 seconds to load.

You can easily check your site’s loading speed using the excellent GTMetrix.com

12. Sprinkle LSI Keywords


LSI keywords are synonyms that Google uses to determine a page’s relevancy (and possibly quality). Sprinkle them into every post.

13. Image Optimization


Make sure at least one image file name includes your target keyword (for example, on_page_SEO.png) and that your target keyword is part of your image Alt Text.

14. Use Social Sharing Buttons


Social signals may not play a direct role in ranking your site. But social shares generate more eyeballs on your content.

And the more eyeballs you get, the more likely someone is to link to you. So don’t be shy about placing social sharing buttons prominently on your site.

In fact, a study by BrightEdge found that prominent social sharing buttons can increase social sharing by 700%.


15. Post Long Content

The SEO adage “length is strength” was supported by our industry study which found that longer content tends to rank significantly higher on Google’s first page.

16. Boost Dwell Time

If someone hits their back button immediately after landing on a page, it tells Google in black-and-white: this is low quality page.

That’s why Google uses “dwell time” to size up your content’s quality. Increase your average dwell time by writing long, engaging content that keeps people reading.
