        • <title>
        • <meta thingthing>
      • Content Content Content
        • Yes, it is that important
      • Make sure it is unique and interesting
      • Code to Text Ratio (C>T)
        • calculate the relevancy of a web page
      • <h1> through <h6>
      • An <img> by any other name is not
      • Make sure your alt is proper 40-60 characters
    15. Structure
      • Make sure that the most important pages on your site can be reached with as few clicks as possible from your home page. The fewer clicks you need to get to a web page, the more important it looks to search engines.
      • Make the links on your website absolute. Do not link to mypage.htm but to www.yoursite.com/mypage.htm. If other people scrape your web page contents, you'll get backlinks from these sites.
    16. More Structure
      • Add a nofollow attribute to all links that aren't important for your search engine rankings. For example, your privacy policy page or the web page with your terms and conditions probably needn't be listed in search engines.
      • The fewer links you have on a page, the more important is the single link to the other pages on your site. If possible, remove unnecessary links from your web pages.
    17. On Page - Content
      • Long and complicated sentences are not a sign of professionalism. They just show that the author of the sentences doesn't care about the readers.
      • The more complicated the text on your web pages, the more likely it is that a web surfer leaves your website.
      • Web surfers are impatient people.
      • Users have time to read at most 28% of the words during an average visit.
      • The Flesch Reading Ease test

      • Domain names often contain commercial high value keywords
      • Spammy websites often show very many ads.
      • They also often contain high-commercial keywords.
      • Often have duplicate content and content scraped from other websites.
      • Low quality websites usually don't have unique content.
    19. More Spam
      • Low quality websites usually don't contain a privacy policy, a copyright notice page and &quot;Contact us&quot; page with a full address.
      • Spammy websites often have many links to other spam and low quality websites.
      • Low quality websites aren't likely to have links from trusted sites.
      • Spammy website often use redirects (JavaScript, MetaRefresh, etc.) from landing pages and will also often use cloaking.

    20. And even more Spam
      • Spam elements such as hidden text also cause problems with search engines.
      • Search spam has grown out of control in recent years, as spammers use duplicate content, fake blog comments, fake sites, and paid links (among other tactics) to try to get their sites boosted. Google has long identified spammy content and spammy links and ignored them for ranking purposes.
