Visitor Engagement
This is the very blogging aspect most people have ignored so far which affects the search engine rankings of many blogs adversely. Some bloggers are only good at creating fresh and original content, but are far from it when it comes to creating the kind of content that ranks well in Google. Your content will only rank in Google if it's informative, helpful, and engaging. This is the most content attribute Google will consider in all of your content.
Publishing Frequency
Are you publishing content regularly and frequently? This is one of the factors that determine your ranking speed in Google. Content is still king and it remains king as long as sites exist and ranking will be taking place.
The spiders of Google are so programmed that they get more attracted to sites that are more updated with content and engagement. So, publishing frequently will do your search engine ranking a lot of good.
When your site is still new, you wouldn't expect to start receiving rankings from the first day or from your first post. Not at all! You'll rather continue building out your blog with quality and engaging content while search engines will then start trusting you gradually.
Image Relevance
Do you attach relevant images to all of your articles? Images are very useful when it comes to ranking your content in search engines. Google believes that your readers will get motivated to read down the page sometimes when a number of captivating, relevant, and beautiful images are used within your content.
