| Keyword presence in page URL | ||
| Keyword density in page text | ||

Some of the terms mentioned here require a detailed study to understand their importance in the search engine optimization techniques. Apart from that, always try to make a page for the user benefits. It will make search engines happy and they will rank you better for the good user experience from that page.
If you find any other strong factors which affect website ranking, don’t hesitate to share with me and I’ll put it right here with your name and url.

Nice post…really helpful. I have one query…is it a negative factor for a page if it has any irrelevant link (not a bad link but not related to that page).
The post was really quite informative..
A great insight about SEO.
Thanks all of you for your appreciation.
To Rhituparna >> i’ll try definitely to do that after managing my daily routine.
To Shimul >> yes Shimul, i’d have explained the terms mentioned here but my post title contains ‘in 15′.
I’ll do that in my upcoming posts.
To Abhijit >> It won’t be a negative factor but the link will generate a very little value to your target page.
I’m very happy. Got one suggestion from Shimul. I’ll review it.
