Hello Algeriahome,
DA is a valuable pointer, yet remember that it’s simply a tool estimation. The internet user calculations don’t utilize it and weigh many factors contradistinction relying upon the question.
Thanks for sharing your points.

You are right. These practises really work in my case. All points are very important in doing SEO properly.

Gone through the blog very informative content for SEO.

Very useful information for my business. Thanks for the sharing tips.

This article is really a great help for SEO. I would like to discuss on SEO and Social media. SEO is important even on social media.

There is no one formula for keyword density. I think it depends on how often a keyword must be used to make the content look relevant for the user. This can vary for different articles. Overdose of anything is not good at SEO:). And as you said utilizing suitable LSI keywords and synonyms can be beneficial. I always add as many long-tail keywords as possible for my blog posts.

Content is the king

When I originally left a comment I appear to have clicked the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and from now on whenever a comment is added I get 4 emails with the exact same comment. There has to be an easy method you can remove me from that service? Thanks a lot!

Evaluate your page’s purpose and your audience’s expectations. Let these dictate what will work best when you create new content.

is so good

There are a lot of self proclaimed SEO experts in the field, how do you know who to believe? I guess it should be the one that comes up #1 for their main keywords as that proves they must know what they are doing.

Thank you for providing such helpful steps as it will help me for doing SEO of our business. Thanks once again

Great post. There is no Ideal Page Length – this is true, but content is the king! Longer text will be better for robots than shorter text, not sure what about the people.

But, so important

SEO practices are not that simple as people think. Everything matters to get good ranking in google. this is good info , thanks for sharing it.

I’m wondering is these tactics can be applied in the newly launched website?

The DA will be always the first factor of SEO, and to improve it still hard

Amazing blog post from Bruce Clay. This makes a lot of sense. I own a SEO agency in the Netherlands and the on page SEO factors are still the most important. You can have a lot of backlinks, but if you content isn’t great it doesn’t have any effect

Hello, Bruce. Again a great contribution from you or your team. It’s really unbelievable in what quality your content is created. It is very impressive. With your three tips you are definitely right. I think it’s nothing so despite it’s also very important nowadays to have an excellent technique. Pagespeed is the keyword. And beyond that reputation has become enormously important. By reputation, I mean the right digital brand building through professional inbound marketing, whereby backlinks can be gained. Finally, however, I am convinced that the brand is everything and decisive. Your blog has also become a brand. You understood it. I am looking forward to further contributions in the future. Many thanks and best regards. Winni.

Hi,
Such a helpful post!!!Thanks for giving the information about Page Length.Helped me a lot.Appreciate it.

Following you and digging best SEO practices everyday!

People say your article should be at least 500 words but I didn’t think is right and in my opinion, also there is no ideal length for your articles. I think your article should be unique and content-rich.

So true – it’s getting more and more complex and challenging now :-)

I had personally asked this question in the comment section of the Neil Patel article. He himself had replied that article length should always be as much as it takes to completely explain the topic to the user. Also as it was mentioned in the article above, one needs to take the user awareness into considering while deciding how much he/she should explain the topic in the content piece.

Thanks for sharing an amazing article with us . And, yeah an ideal page length depends on the topic you are going to write.

Bruce
Very nice and informative post. You have covered essential and vital points that are necessary for bloggers and help them to grow. It is important to know the best practices of SEO if you are a beginner & of course its a never-ending process.
Can you also write about content writing like how to find topics, content structure and its essential things to know, I think it helps those who are new in content writing.

all sites should not try same SEO practices but some SEO technics like content length and title need description is compulsory for all sites and you should do strong SEO from starting either there is no competition in your field don’t wait for the competition just do it so nobody can replace your place in google.

One of the most important “Best SEO Practices of Today” has to do with creating content that keeps the reader engaged. People are getting lost in the “long content” factor which has nothing to do with the length of the content itself, but on how comprehensive, easy to read, and to follow the content is.

Google’s VP, News Richard Gingras explains that “we instruct raters to use the highest rating, “very high quality,” for original news reporting “that provides information that would not otherwise have been known had the article not revealed it. Original, in-depth, and investigative reporting requires a high degree of skill, time, and effort.”

This is awesome Bruce, you just nailed it. Especially the page length and keyword density, I will definitely concentrate on those parts.

Yes, that’s perfect, there’s no ideal length, we need to lookout and test what matters most

Very insightful article. In order to rank in the first page of Google page length is important. however writing content just for sake increasing the word count will not get your website into the first page of Google. The content you write on your website should be of high quality and should cater to the visitors, basically engage them. It is very true that the content should be focused on “topics rather than terms.” Instead of filling the content with a keyword just to rank for that keyword. We need to focus on the providing useful information relevant to the keyword. This is something that i learnt recently.

You have added some of the most valuable information about on-page optimization in this blog post. I thoroughly enjoyed this blog post. Looking forward to your next blog post. :-)

Cheers,

I heard about the 2,000+ WORD POSTS theory. I tried to apply it for better ranking. It didn’t work. As you said Context is key

Thanks for your blog it’s very nice.This is a really important information as it is very educational and helpful for us.Waiting for your next posting.

Google’s best practices are the best way for them to keep making money.

Google’s Best Practices & Search Engines’ Best Practices are two different things completely!

we say content is the king and in SEO content matters the most. If you have a blogging website then your content should be good. Other things are secondary in this condition.

Thanks for this informative article. I’m now following your blog.

Hi Bruce,

I read your entire post, it’s quite wonderful and helpful to the seo guys.

I would like to add here one point, about content readability check. If you are concern with content length, keyword density, yes it must be followed at the same time, if you check content before publishing for content readability it will be quite helpful to manage an error free content, in respect to keyword density and content quality.

Thanks for sharing your ideas.

Thank you for providing these steps which are very helpful in doing SEO of our business.

Hi there,
Such a great post !. Agree with you that there is no Ideal Page Length, most of us follow 2,000+ word posts, it became kind of a tradition to all, The Ideal Page Length” Definitely something to think about!, and the readability should be very easy. the most important thing is key word.

Thanks for such a great post …

Thank you for showing me the flip side of the coin. Very useful information.

All of your steps are well written, well presented and informative. I have one question, Can we write more than 2000 words of content on business site inner pages? I think it will affect the user experience. what do you think?

“The Ideal Page Length” Definitely something to think about!

Thank you for sharing such amazing post!
I am quite agree that the same keyword limit as said by “Neil Patel” does not work to all the type of content to rank. targeting the competitors can helps a lot to understand “what it takes to be on rank on search engine” who are ranking on the same keyword, that you want to rank on.

Bruce
Appreciate you have provided useful information to me. I truly got a concept of what SEO best practices are that even worth’s.. Writing a content in number of pages depends on demand but a quality of content is important.
