Topical SEO: 7 Concepts of Link Relevance & Google Rankings
To rank in Google, it’s not simply the number of votes you receive from popular pages, but the relevance and authority of those links as well.
On-page SEO
On-page SEO is the practice of optimizing individual web pages in order to rank higher and earn more relevant traffic in search engines. On-page refers to both the content and HTML source code of a page that can be optimized, as opposed to off-page SEO which refers to links and other external signals.
