In the previous blog post, we learned about Sponsored Tags, Contextual Links, 301 redirects, internal Link Anchors, Link Title Attribution, Country TLDs, Link Location, Linking Domain, and Page Level Relevancy.
111. Keyword in Title
“Keyword” in the ‘Title’ is a common search engine optimization practice. We have seen that keywords in titles help in search rankings and Google loves it.
112. Positive Link Velocity
The more backlinks a site has the more it will dominate the SERPs. A site with positive link velocity ranks for more search terms and grows in popularity in the industry.
113. Negative Link Velocity
Many SEOs just neglect this factor and without knowing their important backlinks are vanished. A negative link velocity can definitely reduce your rankings, popularity, and organic search traffic.
114. Links from “Hub” Pages
Many SEOs believe that backlinks from the Hub pages in a certain niche help in search rankings. These hub pages are the best resources available in a certain niche that are given special treatment.
115. Link from Authority Sites
Links from authority websites in your niche can help drastically with search engine rankings. These websites pass link juice that grows your traffic and authority more than a small and tiny site.
116. Linked to as Wikipedia Source
Many SEOs believe that backlinks from Wikipedia indicate authoritative signals to a website. Links from Wikipedia are no-follow which means they do not carry significant weight.
117. Co-Occurrences
Co occurrences refer to the keywords that are likely to appear on a given topic. Such keywords send authoritative signals to Google’s Natural Language Processing algorithm.
118. Backlink Age
According to Google, backlinks that have old age carry more weight than the ones that have just been built or reflected on your website.
119. Links from Real Sites vs Splogs
Back in the day, Private Blog Networks was on the surge and every possible SEO I knew used them to build backlinks. To counter this, Google released an update that identifies links from real traffic getting websites and spammy/auto-generated blogs.
120. Natural Link Profile
A natural backlink profile of a website is what sets it apart from other websites. Backlinks that are naturally acquired tend to be durable to the Google core algorithm updates.
