#1. Meta Description Optimisation
This is the essential part of SEO optimization because if you would not make your SEO meta description user-friendly then you will continuously lose your ranking.
this is happening because Google has now considered this as a great factor which is known as “User Response“.
For Example: Suppose one page of your website has been ranked in the top position (say 11). but users are not clicking on your web page. this is happening due to the poor meta description or maybe wrong title selection. now if Google continuously notices that people are not clicking on your page. Then they kick off your page from position 11 to some other position (say 20 Or more).
From the above example, you notice that the Google algorithm is very sensitive to the user response.
So here my advice is that try to optimize your SEO meta description & post title.

Let me give you an example to understand the meaning of backlinks.
Suppose you have a blog and you write something about SEO and at the same time you find another blog on Google that contains some related content about SEO. you simply place that link to your webpage for some extra information provided to the user and publish it. in this case, the second (another blog) web page gets a link juice from your web page that is a backlink for the second web page.
Now if your web page is ranked on google top 10 results then the other page link that you have earlier placed inside your post also gets some value in the eyes of Google.
According to me “Backlink is a recommendation to your web page by another web page. which directly increase your page value in the search engine’s eyes “
It realized that backlinks are the most important & Powerful off-page SEO Technique and it has also been found that all google’s top results contain high backlink juice.
A great way to get quality backlinks is here: –
Find the broken links on other’s popular blog pages, inform them (those blog owners) by email about the broken links and write a very informative article about that topic (related to broken link). now ask those site owners to replace that broken link with your link.
Nowadays it becomes very hard to get high page authority backlinks. but it is not impossible.
If your page has been ranked on google top 10 results then you don’t need to do anything. you will automatically start generating high authority backlinks.
but if this is not the case then you need to follow some tips that I have given in earlier section 3.
This is one of the best affordable search engine optimization techniques. Affordable in the sense “natural & free upcoming backlinks are more powerful rather than paid one”
Note: Do not buy backlinks from any third party network. these are harmful to your blog. Google may penalize your blog.
