In 2016 By Kodematix.com


Backlinks are still (very) important ●

Backlinks are still the no. 1 most important ranking signal that Google uses. Study found that you need backlinks from a bunch of different domains.

The best links you can get are contextual mentions from authoritative media outlets. Not only are these links highly­valued by Google, but they can bring in a boatload of traffic to boot.


More bounces equal lower rankings ●

Study also found that bounces aren’t just bad for your bottom line.

They can throw a monkey wrench into your SEO efforts.

The study found that sites with a high bounce rate tended to rank lower in Google than sites with a low bounce rate. Make sure that your content is above the fold ­­ and that the first few sentences draw people in. Break your content into two to three sentence paragraphs it becomes much easier to digest.
