Valid Google Ranking Signals

Onsite SEO alghoritmic signals for Google Search Engine:

  • page load time
  • internal linking (and where the links are placed)
  • keywords in the title of the page (the sooner mentioned the better), meta description, address of the page and whole domain, headings, textual content (a keyword should be mentioned a few times, 2-5% density is natural), strong tags, em tags (although that last one has low impact)
  • freshness of content and the whole site
  • age of the page and the whole domain
  • variety of topics for the whole website and particular page
  • ranking (authority) of the domain
  • number of pages on a domain
  • length of content on a particular page (should be between 400 and 1000 words)
  • quality and quantity of +1’s for the page and the whole domain (although it’s of low impact)
  • content uniqueness, so no duplicate content (within the website and in the Internet overall, a list of articles with snippets is OK)
  • presence of images and videos on a page with proper file names and proper alt and title attributes for the img tag

Offsite SEO ranking factors for Google:

  • quality and quantity of backlinks with their anchor texts, related context and placement of the link (within content is good, in the footer is bad)
  • whether the backlink has a nofollow attribute or not (nofollow is also good!)
  • for the appropriate searches (like restaurants): the distance between the visitor and the business
  • factors dependant on a particular search term (for example: a search for restaurants will consider the rates and their number from review sites)
  • CTR from the search engine results pages (dependant mostly on the title and meta description of a page)
  • PageRank (likely an internal one)
