Content marketing is a big thing right now. And not just any spun content, it has to be high quality and unique. Take your time to write up a good article and post it on a high PR website that has decent traffic. This way you'll get the benefit from the PR, the backlink itself, and there's a possibility you'll be getting some traffic from that website itself. You could even build a few links aimed at your post and get the article on the third party website ranked. I've done that plenty of times with my websites and they've been ranked pretty quickly and stayed on top for a while.

This does take work, and it's not easy since you have to generate a lot of quality content. But this will differentiate you from the people wanting to use software to post. You'll have the better content since it will not be spun and the readers will actually like it and possibly share it.

High quality content on a high PR website plus a tiered linking system is always a good method that helps websites get ranked. Try it out and let me know what you think.

If you're doing this yourself it could take a while. If you can afford it, I advise searching on Seocheckout and hiring a VA (Virtual Assistant) and have them write up quality content, do the posting and tiered linking for you. Be sure to do your due diligence because this will be for your website and you don't want any random person just going in and screwing up your rankings forever.

Also, if you can set up a private blog network and control everything about it, that will definitely get your ranked. But that is even more work compared to the quality content on third party websites and tier linking them. It's more work because lets say you have 10 blogs, you'd have to do 10 times the content. It's very worth it, but it does take 10 times longer to do unless you can afford Virtual Assistants. You would also have to tier link these blog posts in order to rank as well.

So, in a nutshell:
- High quality content
- High PR websites
- Tiered linking
- PBNs with tiered linking if you can afford to pay for a good VA


Thanks,

Since 2015, Google seems to put a very high importance on Mobile Optimization. Therefore, it is vital that you have a mobile friendly website. The reason behind this is because more and more people are using mobile devices and tablets for online searches. In 2016, this is definitely something you will need to do to do well in rankings. I recently did some analysis for the traffic of my forum and found that 10% of my traffic came from mobile devices which is a decent amount. Fast loading speeds is also a must. The following tools are very useful for testing your website to make sure they meet the standards Search Engines require:

I also recently read articles that Social Media content will be more important on SERP and since last year, Twitter tweets are indexed by Google. Therefore, Twitter might be a good place to go to. I am personally trying to work on the social media side to help boost my rankings.

I also read that Apps are starting to influence rankings due to its high usage. Apparently App indexing will also help boost your rankings. Personally, I experienced a decline in traffic myself and I really want to know how much app indexing helps rankings. The downside is that creating an App is costly and may not be suitable for every website.

I agree with the other comments that quality content is still the number 1 element in the list of search engines. Uploading good contents on your website will qualify it to be in the list of current websites that are for evaluation by the search engine. And good contents can give the website a good ranking in the search list. Some other ways like keywords and backlinks are also potent for the SEO of the website but I will always stick with good contents as the primary element for SEO.
