Learn & Implement Marketing Basics
Start with a plan, not a prayer
Structure your site around intent-based topics, ensuring content is siloed and distinct (cross-link to relevant and related topics only). ).
How to Structure Your Site
Plan your site for topical expertise, organized in a well-siloed, easy to navigate structure.

Design for Multiple Screens
Responsive design isn't a brand new idea, but having (almost) ubiquitous browser support is!
Search engines are interpreting each search through a lens of intent and context.Intent: What does the user mean based on previous searches, their search behavior?Context: Where are they? What device are they using?
Conduct Keyword Query Research
Research keyword queries leveraging social, web stats, paid media and industry research to help understand user goals, purchasing cycles, and needs.
Write just enough and not too much!There really is no ideal length, but there isan ideal question: "Should this page exist?“
Meta title content should not exceed 65 char and meta description should not exceed 155 characters.
Atleast 250 words should be there per page
Write Just Enough Content
There are no "ideal lengths" of content, only enough to satisfy user intent and the context in which they're querying.
Standard tags such a meta
description, title, and header tags are still important for user engagement and core SEO optimization. New and necessary tags, OG for Facebook, Twitter Cards, and schema.org microdata formats are no-brainers.
Tag Your Content (Standard, Social, Schema)
Schema Markup is probably the most exciting development over the past few years, and one gaining traction slowly, despite the protocols being backed by the major (and minor) search engines.
Overdoing internal anchor text, linking, and excessive footer links. "Too much of a good thing" can end up being a bad thing. Keep it simple and user-focused, especially in-content anchor text links.
Don't Over-Optimize
Footers with massive link counts aren't always beneficial on every page if top or in-page navigation provides a better experience, and definitely spammy
Post-click engagement sends the signals that your site rocks, not only do users provide metrics through trackable usage, also through social signals - shares, likes and +1s
Optimize the User Experience
Now... we need to look at what people do once they get to our site, and we need to optimize their experience, not just because Google demands a speedy site, user-friendly layouts, less 'dead end' 404s and onsite engagement
Create and seed great content in venues where it makes sense. If it is truly great, and you bolster its discoverability and visibility through social media mentions, you may just inspire links, and more importantly relevant traffic!
Keep Link Building Practices Natural
As long as links or anchor text traditionally designed to manipulate PageRank are nofollowed.
