We knew about Article Writing in detail in our previous SEO Tutorial. Readers have lots of articles to read, and rarely care about our content. We can write about anything, as long as our content is relevant and there is a clear structure. Everybody feels much more comfortable to read simple and also informative articles. We must take a few minutes before the observation to think about what we will write.

The article heading or title is the most important part in the whole article body. The heading must be absorbing and provides the readers with a specific idea of what we are going to say.

For an example, when we search for any image in Google search box by writing the image’s name, Google shows us the image accurately. We know that Google crawler can crawl the texts or can read the texts. But the question is that how does Google understand that what the image is about? Because, Google crawler can not see the images. In fact, here the question of image alt tag comes. When we upload any image, we have to optimize the image. There is a specific option for setting the image alt tag and we have to tell to the Google crawler about the image by writing keyword-rich text. Then Google crawler will be able to understand about what actually the image is.

But your site should be linked-up to domain authority sites that have high page rank. It is better to be linked-up to some high PR sites than thousands of low PR sites. If you are able to create quality back links in the high PR domain authority sites, then you are showing Google that your site has value of great sources. Besides, if you can create link in .gov/ .edu domains and web 2.0 that will make your site worthy by the search engines. In fact, high quality back links can impose an enormous difference.
