Today many webmasters are doing everything thing to get their website ranked on the first page of Google, but despite that, they are not getting success. The SEO in Atlanta, New York and other parts of the USA is booming because of their huge demand. They know the truth that getting ranked on the first page of Google is no joke because many things are beyond your control.

Backlinks are not everything
Backlinks are the core algorithm factor in SEO we all know that. It is said that website that has good number of backlinks is rewarded by Google with higher rankings. To be honest this is a big dogma and prejudice that most of the webmaster can’t come over. Backlinks are indeed an important part of Google algorithm but they are not everything because there are many more things to be taken care beside backlinks. If you want to get rank higher in Google then there is no other way than qualifying for the best backlinks along with maintaining your website’s usability and interface. Many webmasters while creating backlinks ignore another important aspect of the website like good user interface, sound technical stability and engaging content.

Do technical audit first
If you are able to find and fix some of the important technical issues on your website it  will be good for your website. Technical glitches are the biggest things that prevent search engines to place your website higher in the search results. As far as technical issues are concerned there are some common SEO issues to be taken care. One such issue is that website is resolving with both www and non-www version which creates duplicity. If you have not fixed this issue on your website then search engines would probably treat both the  versions as duplicate version and might impose a penalty on your website.

Apart from duplicity, another common issue which is prevailing in most of the sites is the issue of poor page load speed. Today people are always in hurry and want everything to happen in a flash of second that’s why they can’t wait while the website is loading. If your website is heavy because of JavaScript and complex HTML codes and taking more time to load then user might go to another website. As far as Google search is concerned it usually give full marks to the website that have a loading time of fewer than five seconds and if your website is taking more than 5 seconds to load then your website is having some trouble.

Go social: Social media is on high therefore, you got every opportunity to get benefited with social media. Though Google don't have any direct connection with the social media but nowadays it has started giving more prominence to the website that have good social media presence and good number of social media followers.
