>My understanding is that there are generally three elements to SEO:
SEO is about two things, there is no Techncial ‘component” –
1. Relevance: Every document you make = relevant to something. If your document is called “Best Webhosting UK.php” and the page title is “Best Webhost UK”- then your document is relevant to “Web hosting UK” and possibly “Web hosting” and “web uk” and “hosting uk”.
As you add more content – you dont become “more relevant” but you can add relevancy to other keywords – but
1. Your Relevancy score is mostly in your document name and then in content its going to have less % of authority as its lower in the page or outside of a header.
2. Your Authority MUST be external – you cannot create it. Authority comes from organic traffic and backlinks . but backlinks are not equal. Backlinks from the highest most authoritative sites and your distance from them (PageRank Nearest_Seed)
3. PageSpeed/ CWVs are negligible.- sure, a slow site might be impacted by user bounce – but Google is not ranking your site higher because its fast or scores well or has less errors.
Some things to remember:
Google supports 57 files types – HTML is just one. Text files, PDFs, Sheets, .bas files can all be processed and rank. They all have one thing in common: a filename. If that doesnt tell you something important about how Google works, I can’t help you much more 😉
>**Backlinks -** Having backlinks from other sites which are credible to your site.
Actually Nearest seed works by how far you are from sites like (maybe) the NY times, Harvard(.)Edu (maybe)…
