2. Choose the Correct Domain Name
Every website should have a good name. Picking the right domain name that can easily be remembered and is relevant to your business is very important.

At this point, you should have chosen five relevant, highly competitive keywords for optimization of your site and all of its content. One of the most important factors of SEO is having an optimal keyword density, which is the amount of times a keywords shows up in text of your site or home page. Search engines use it to judge your relevance for that keyword when a user types it into search. Your keyword density should fall between 2 to 5 percent. If you use your keywords too often, then you can be penalized for keyword stuffing. The penalty could range from losing your links and rankings, to being banned from the Internet.

4. Link Building

Your rankings can go down if you link to very suspicious, spammy websites. The best way to build links is by providing relevant, linkable content, such as blogs, surveys, syndicated articles, or social networks.
