Security

SEOs consider the security of websites a key factor in ranking them.

Make sure that your website begins with HTTPs. What does this mean? It means that all data transferred between your website's visitors and your website is encrypted. Installing an SSL certificate will let you achieve this.

Page Speed and Bounce Rate

If I may ask when was the last time you waited for a page load for more than a minute? Some pages could even keep you waiting for 20 minutes or longer. Google knows that time is the most precious thing in life.

A slow-loading page will increase your bounce rate. Because your page is not opening, people will click on the exit link and leave within 10 seconds. This results in a high bounce rate and a lower ranking.

A backlink is when another website creates an external link from their website to your own.

Those happen naturally with more and more content you publish. Others will find this content, find it helpful, and then link to it from their websites.

Sometimes you can also consider writing guest posts for others who have an authority site in exchange for links back to your site.

Hi

Also and for an example you may write a blog post here, and then have it backlinked to your website, so when visitors click on it, they are able read your blog post here.

And if they sign up you get a referral and later if they became a premium you get a commission.

Hope this helps.
