SEO .

Some of the Key Findings.

Page Authority of Your Blog / Webpage:
It is a score on a 100-point scale, that predicts how well a specific page will rank on search engines, and includes link counts from authoritative web pages, such as from global players, governments or organizations, plus dozens of other factors.
.
Blog as a Sub Domain:
A root domain is the top level hierarchy of a domain. For example:
https://www.savvybookwriters.com/
And a sub domain could look like this: https://www.savvybookwriters.com/when-to-schedule-your-holiday-book-marketing/
.
Place link-worthy content, such as blogs in sub-folders. Detailed advice when and where to place your blog can be found in “Pros and Cons of Putting a Blog in a Subdirectory / Folder” by Christopher Heng at TheSiteWizard.
.
Anchor Text in Your Blogs:
Let’s take a sentence in the last paragraph: And a sub domain could look like this: https://www.savvybookwriters.com/when-to-schedule-your-holiday-book-marketing/. In order to link to this blog article for example, you have to choose a word (anchor) in this sentence to place your link. So what would you choose? Certainly a word that readers will type in when searching on Google, in this case we would use “sub domain” as the anchor.
.
Great Keywords in Titles:
Pretty self-explaining that you use the most relevant and reader-attention keywords in your headline. After all you want them to stop and read! It creates value in relevancy, browsing, and in the search engine results pages. Use either the Google Keyword Planner or any of these articles with lots of hints and tips:

Being Active on Google+
You can submit each of your blog post to your Google+ account. Google treats the information on its own platforms, aka Google Search Engine, pretty high, which means your SEO-ranking for your website or blog improves dramatically. Your Google+ profile will always be top ranked in a Google search.
