Below are some of the key findings for SEO Optimization tips which include:

• Page Authority correlates higher than any other metric we measured.
• Social signals, for example Facebook shares are highly correlated.
• Anchor text correlations remain as strong as ever.
• New correlations were measured for schema.org and structured data usage.
• More data was collected on external links, keywords, and exact match domains.

• Links are still believed to be the most important part of the algorithm (approximately 40%).
• Keyword usage on the page is still fundamental, and other than links is thought to be the most important type of factor.
• SEOs do not think social factors are important in the 2013 algorithm (only 7%), in contrast to the high correlations.

1000s of blogs are getting published every day. There is more content published today in a month than it was in the entire year of 2001.

Quality content and the ability to interact with and engage the audience will be the currency. Time on site and multiple page visits help you get the business. This means targeting the right keywords to rank for and improve business.
