\nNofollow helps you to hide a page from Google and other search engines. If you plan to maintain a page out of the index, you can use this in your HTML head and in the hyperlink. It prevents the page from indexing in the search and recommends that the search engine to not follow the link.<\/p>\n
\nCanonicalization prevents indexing of duplicate content or page in search, which can impact your domain authority. You can use this rel=canonical tag in the HTML head. It recommends search engines that instead of the current page, the linked URL should be treated as \u201csource\/canon\u201d by the search engines.<\/p>\n
\nAccording to Google\u2019s algorithm, outbound links are diluting the authority that gets passed back to your own site. It doesn\u2019t mean that you shouldn\u2019t give link to others but you can limit the usage. For better page ranking you should always use new and rich content in your site.<\/p>\n
\nGoogle changes its algorithm frequently so some of the methodology get outdated quickly. iFrames can cause problems for search engines because they don\u2019t correspond to the conceptual model of the web. iframes embed multiple urls in a single page and it can\u00a0 affect the ranking and dilute the authority.<\/p>\n
\nYou should build your site with a logical link structure. In general, minimum one static text link should present to reach every page. You can use contextual links within the body content to get more link counts for a page in addition to the links in the navigation and they certainly add semantic value to the linked page.<\/p>\n
\nLack of solid URL architecture is one of the most frequent issues happening in SEO. Good url architecture means easily readable for humans as well as for search engines.<\/p>\n
\nImage attribute or \u201calt tag\u201d is one of the crucial parameter in modern level SEO. The alt tag provides a text alternative for an image if that image cannot be displayed. Also it is well suited for visually impaired users to understand the image. We can target keywords to represent the image in search result.<\/p>\n
\nMeta Description is nothing but the content for search engines to refer and show in their search result snippet. Don\u2019t miss the chance to focus target keywords using meta description. It gives users a hint to the content provided in a page.<\/p>\n
\nXML sitemaps are still valuable, and every website should need one. If you add your XML sitemap through Google Search Console, you don\u2019t need to worry about the availability in search engines. Since websites changes frequently you should update your sitemap accordingly. It allows crawlers to understand the hierarchy of your site.<\/p>\n
\nSome people mistakenly understand the usage of heading tags. You can\u2019t use H1 tags in sub headings. And use other heading tags such as H2, H3 properly. Structuring heading tags in a proper way helps searching engines to understand the hierarchy of the content.<\/p>\n
