Check if your site and the content are accessible or not. Make sure your site do no dumb mistakes. Don’t let your website show content not available errors like 404s and server downtimes like 500s.

Create an account in Google Webmaster Tools and keep track of your website’s performance on Google search engine.

#2 Target Keywords

Keywords are which bring you good traffic from search engines. Keywords with high competition will have better chances of getting competition than those of with low competition ones.

Content is the most prioritized asset for your blog or website. A blog with highly optimized quality content will ever be rewarded.

Write unique and fresh content always. This will make your blog algorithmically good at Google thus making it immortal for frequent search engine algorithm updates.

Your content should make your visitors happy. This is what Google suggests mostly. When you are writing an article, make sure you are writing it for humans not search engine bots.

#4 Maintain Quality in Website’s Design

Design quality of the website is as important as the quality of the content. If you have wonderful content on your blog and it is awkwardly designed template, what’s the point of creating wonderful content. It should be served to the visitors in a proper way.

Suppose you have prepared a nice dinner for your family and how it would be if you can’t serve it to them properly?

An ideal web design should be easily navigable, screen adaptable and fast loaded. Google also released a list of 25 mobile designing principles for webmasters recently.
