4. Get Quality External Backlinks

Backlinks (links from external domains to yours) are an extremely crucial ranking signal in Google search algorithm. Incoming external links to your site from authority and highly-trusted websites send signals to Google that you have quality content on your blog and are trusted by those websites.

Thus, when authority blogs link to yours, it symbolizes to Google and other major search engines the quality of people that link to your content, which improves your ranking as well as pulls more quality site traffic.

5. Examine and Fix Broken Links


Having high-quality links on your blog is one of the greatest ways to increase website traffic and boost site authority, but when you have broken links on your site, these can potentially impact your search ranking negatively as well as hurt your visitor experience. And this is because they redirect users to error pages.

To improve on this, ensure you leverage solid broken link checker tools like Dead Link Checker or Broken Link Check for your site if you haven’t started doing that yet. These tools can help you detect broken links either on a single page or on the entire site and fix them up right away.

The Dead Link Checker tool has the Auto check feature which runs the tool across your website or pages on a frequent basis and automatically sends reports to you via email. It also has the Multi Check feature which runs the tool across multiple sites at a go, and then sends reports to you automatically via email as well.

Hi Israel,
Thanks for the tips, I already implement most of them, but can you tell me more about how to use rich snippets. Is it a plugin?

Hey Stefanie, thanks for dropping by! What you basically need to know about Snippet is that it's a kind of Ads that appears above the first position on page #1, and once any of your pages gets featured there, you are in traffic. You are in money. Build out quality content, making your posts keyword-rich and in-depth. These are instrumental. Thanks for reading this training piece!

Hi Israel, thanks for getting back to me. Do you mean that Google will automatically generate you a rich snippet or not without you having to do anything from your heading tags in a post?
I saw some Neil Patel training where he was using some kind of plugin to add the short questions and answers by himself to be used for rich snippets, and was led to believe that this is the only way it can come up. I wish I could find that training but I can't.
Do you know of this plugin, or even what he may have been doing?

Sorry to bother you again, I just can't seem to get an answer to this right now. Somebody else from WA said it was a plugin he was using but they weren't sure which one.

Thanks :-)
