(organic) search listings

Alt Tags
TITLE tags- 72 character OR 9 words- 1st & 2nd word is more important than other- Your site's Title MUST grab attention, create curiosity, evoke emotion to get the click. Don't just use your company's or website's name. I highly recommend that you spend the same amount of time when writing your Title as you would if you were writing
a Pay Per Click (PPC) ad. Because:
No clicks = No conversions

Back Links
Site A and Site B. The 2 site is fighting about the ranking for the same keyword.
Back Links
So to decide which one will get the highest ranking Google will look at the links to the two sites. Here site A get a link from site C – while site B doesn't get any links. You can say C is giving some juice to site A. So site A will do best in the Google ranking.
Back Links
Now both site A and site B get a link from site C. Their are sharing the juice. So they will rank on the same level. So to decide which one will get the highest rank Google will have to look at other normally not so important things
Back Links
Now site A get another link from site D and site B get a link from E. So now Google has to decide – which one the two new sites are most important site D or site E. Who has most juice to give.
