3. Quality content
Content length does not matter, but it’s quality is important. People cannot read 5000 words long content. Let’s take example, you want to learn about Technical SEO. You have two options number one is 3000-word long article and another one is 10-minute video. Which one do you select. Of course 10-minute video right? So Try to make your content visual. Google update the algorithm based on user experience. So, it gives more important to the visual content rather than long text.

5. Linking many backlinks is not necessary
Couple of years ago, I used to focus on backlinking because google used to ranked based on quantity of back links in your website. However, the time changes, google changes the algorithm. It is not necessary that you need to have more back links, rather focus on quality links.
My button line here is:
-Don’t buy link
-Don’t go through against Google’s rule
