How to improve your Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
Once you get the hang of SEO, you'll realize quickly it's not that hard. It is in fact a huge amount of work, takes a lot of time and effort, and short results do not exist. What Search Engines do and try to achieve is common sense.
Search engines like Google, Yahoo, Bing, are basically making one giant map of the internet. They want to know what's going on and where it's happening. This goes through indexing websites, forums, pages, etc. It's following links. SEO is basically assisting them in doing so more efficiently and you as an Admin can help them do that.
1. Links
Search engines follow any links they can find on the internet. Navigation links, anchor links, raw links, back links, etc. The point is that you need a lot of them, never stop posting your link. You need to link everything to everything that you can possibly can. If you have static pages, you need to have content that links to internal and external pages. This will help building your map.
2. Plagiarism
Google likes original quality content. This means you cannot make a decent SEO 'score' when you go and copy every website or page you see. The more quality you can offer, the better you will be handled by search engines. Even the oldest websites who has the most original content will have a better index than a new website with the same content copied and pasted.
3. Frequent but power articles
You are far better off with one quality piece of information, which holds the truth and is well researched that you release once per week, than filling your website with poor quality and bad written articles every day. It's better to aim for 500-1000 words, check https://wordcounter.net/ for how much words your articles has. (Although not every article I write has 1000 words)
4. Slowly but steady
Reaching and maintaining a place high in organic searches takes a lot of effort and time. It's not something that's done in 6 months, it takes at least a year of hard work. If you are not prepared for that, then don't even bother trying.
