SEO - 9 Great SEO tips for 2016 - Get higher up in google
1. Use long search terms
Longer search terms will get higher positions. These search terms are more targeted, convert better and have less competition. 70% of the Google searches are longtail search terms. This means that only 30% of the users search for short terms. Use this to your advantage.
2. Mobile friendly is a must-have
Get a responsive or adaptive website. More and more visitors will view websites from a mobile device. In addition, Google has a strong preference for websites that adapt to different screen widths.
3. Create killer content
Not just content. But create real killer content that visitors feel the urge to share with their friends and family. Google prioritizes content that has been created for users. Don't focus on keywords only.
4. Make use of semantics
Google is using new techniques to learn the exact context and meaning of your content. Creating grammatically correct content will definitely get your website a higher position. Also structured data is getting more important. Structured data can be added by implementing schema.org into your website. This way Google will know exactly what elements are important, and can easily find relevant information.
5. Simulate interaction with your visitors
Interaction with visitors is very important and will get users to come back to your website more often. Comments also create a flow of new user-generated content wich is always good for your search positions.
6. Focus on local geography
45% of all Google searches will be redirected to a local website. It's very important to target your website on this local audience.
7. Think in subjects
Instead of thinking in small keywords you should try to create larger sentences wich will more likely score visitors. Websites in the top 3 of Google will be more likely to have larger subjects in them than websites on the 9th or 10th position. And of course having bigger subjects will evoke backlinks and social interaction.
8. Online reputation
Website and branding reputation is still the most important factor on SEO. Without a good reputation, your website will never reach the top of the search results. The construction of a good reputation will take a lot of time. But when you have it, your search positions will be solid.
