CONTENT STRUCTURE

HTML5 / FORMATTING TAGS

Format your text or content on HTML pages not just to affect the look and feel of your pages but for SEO as well.

 element was for italic text, now it is also for alternate text, such as foreign words, technical terms, or inline stage directions

 element was for bold text, now it is also used as a stylistic offset such as keywords in a document of product names was for emphasis, now it is used for words or sentences you would pronounce differently element is for something with strong emphasis, it represents importance

Format your text or content on HTML pages not just to affect the look and feel of your pages but for SEO as well.

<hx> head tag, for titles, kickers, footers and subheads, it represents importance and relevant to your title/keyword – h1, h2, h3, h4 etc

 tag defines marked text. Use the tag if you want to highlight parts of your text

INFORMATION TRUST

Advanced ResearchAdvanced Google Operators: OR - + “keyword” Link Out to Authority Sites / Authoritative Content

it is imperative and totally foolish not to link to relevant information, in the old media, news Juan dela Cruz said that blah blah… in the Internet, the system is either you say a blog/website said that, then a LINK

A Content that doesn’t link out, is a mediocre content that isn’t worth to link toRemember LINK is the currency of the Web

ANCHOR TEXTS + LINKING TO

DO NOT link to your website with the same ANCHOR TEXT. It’s bad, spammy and can get you penalized (deindexed, deranked etc)

ANCHOR TEXTS + LINKING TO
