    Hello Alok,

    Firstly, I would like to congratulate you for publishing your New Book.

    I have seen your latest post on Facebook and I could not resist myself from commenting. After going through your post, I must say that it is indeed an informative post. SEO policy always changes from time to time. So, we need to be aware of the changes that are taking place. And I must say that you have given a good initiative to inform us about the latest SEO trends.

    Quality Content, Internal Links, and Backlinks are the major part which helps you in Search Engine Optimization. And you have discussed about all of them in detailed.

    Changing HTTP to HTTPS will also be a good move for the SEO perspective.

    Thanks for sharing this article with us.

    Regards,
    Swapnadip….

    1. Thanks a lot Swapnadip, I am glad that you liked the post and even shared it on G+. It certainly is true that basics of SEO has not yet changed and I doubt will ever change, the reliability of your ranking depends majorly on Content Quality, Internal Links, and Back Links only.

      As far as shifting from http to https is concerned, I won’t suggest anyone to go behind that right now. It’s a thing which will actually cost you some money as well, but then the results are worthy or not is a big thing to understand at the moment, so I must say that please wait and watch about it.

      Thanks Swapnadip for sharing your opinion with us and also sharing the post in your network πŸ™‚

  4. This is really nice Alok, I am proud to announce that my site has improved on a few of these bits, esp the bounce rate and time spent on the site which has now increased to about 4 mins. Although the traffic has taken a hit, I have taken your suggestion of quality maintenance and working on the basics first and then probably look at traffic.

    Just a quick question Alok, what do you think would be a good bounce rate for a blog? I agree that some sites will have excellent ones, but for my knowledge to know what I should be targeting at, what would be a nice number?

    1. Don’t worry Vinay, the way you are incorporating things and changes on your blog, soon you will become a celebrity πŸ™‚ The only things which your blog is currently missing is a professional look or a premium theme πŸ™‚ I am sure you will soon be able to update your blog with those as well…

  5. Informative post one again.. Your posts are of great help for novice like me who have just started learning the ABC of SEO..

    1. Thank you so much Manjulika πŸ™‚ It is a pleasure of mine that my blog posts are useful for you. πŸ™‚

  6. Highly informative and useful

    1. Thank you so much Chaitali….

  7. This one is one of your most crisp and informative post ever

    1. Yes Datta, even I too felt the same. To be very honest I write this blog in just half an hour and don’t know how it becomes so good. At the end when I read it, I found it really wonderful πŸ™‚ Though am praising myself a lot but this post made me to think that. Am sorry about that πŸ™‚

  8. Super tips on SEO, crisp and clear. Thanks much for sharing Alok.

    1. Thank you so much Shweta, you guys inspired me a lot to write such posts πŸ™‚ Thanks to all the support which you friends shower on my posts.

  9. Great Post sir, surly this will help me. But every-time i have suffered with the H1, H2 tags.

    1. Thank you so much Rajkumar, don’t worry if you have any confusions you can ask them to me. H1 and H2 are not that difficult, but yes it changes so many things so we need to be cautious about them.

    first of all I am unable to resist my laughter. Check all of us has made our comments 45 years ago. πŸ˜€ πŸ˜€
    HEheheh

    Now coming to the point – you always write awesome posts Sir. I have been facing problems with the bounce rate of my blog since last one week. It has been risen to a whole new level. Could you please suggest me some methods to bring it down.

    -Nitin

    1. Yes Nitin, you are unable to resist your laughter and I am unable to stop worrying about it. I am seeing this bug from last 3-4 days, and trying to resolve it too. Hopefully within a few days I will be able to resolve it. Thank you Nitin for pointing this error to me πŸ™‚

      Nitin, the very first thing which you require is to use the internal links in your posts, either use banners to let user go through those old posts, or use text links to old posts of yours. Try to make the post so engaging that the user is forced to click on other links of the post to get more information about the same. Other than this you should also need to go for some better themes, which can have the capacity to let engage your visitors.

      Hope these techniques can work to reduce your bounce rate. πŸ™‚

  11. LOL 45 YEARS? Yeah really funny πŸ™‚

    @Nitin Balodi You didn’t give your link buddy! I can share some tips to avoid bounce rate:
    Make sure:
    >people get what they want
    >it is easy to follow you (add social network widgets)
    >you have easy navigation
    >nice looking design

    Also as Alok says: Make it more engaging
    Good luck, friend πŸ™‚

    1. Yes Suvin, it is a bit funny and hence I am also not trying much to rectify it in a hurry πŸ™‚ Will be in the process of rectifying it, hopefully soon.

      Great tips which you mentioned for Nitin πŸ™‚ Thank you so much Suvin.

  12. Is right keyword optimization dead? I don’t think you can forget that bro! BTW Which year am I i? what is this 45 years thing on my comment??

    1. Keyword Optimization will never die away Sasidhar, but yes the way it was managed earlier has now changed. It certainly plays an important role but I always believe that natural, informative and useful contents are more valuable than any keyword based content.

      This 45 years is a bug buddy, trying to rectify it, hopefully will be resolved soon πŸ™‚ Thank you for pointing it out.

  13. Alok Bhai sahab thanks for narrating such useful guidelines.
    Another thank for informing me about my mistake about sachin tendulkar’s ODI double century. It was a real mistake and I have changed “Onlu double century” to ” first double century”. Thanks once again for such guidance

    1. Thank you so much Sampat Kumari Jee. I just noticed the same and hence pointed it out. Thank you for making changes based on my suggestions there πŸ™‚
