1. The algo is flattening, and the days of a single factor having an overwhelming impact are fading.

2. Links while still powerful, don’t feel like an overwhelming ranking force to SEOs.

3. Engagement data is on raise.

HTTPS

Using HTTPS checklist Make sure every element of your website uses HTTPS, including widgets, java script,

CSS files, images and your content delivery network. Use 301 redirects to point all HTTP URLs to HTTPS. This is a no-brainer to most SEOs,

but you'd be surprised how often a 302 (temporary) redirect finds its way to the homepage by accident

Make sure all canonical tags point to the HTTPS version of the URL. Rewrite hard-coded internal links (as many as is possible) to point to HTTPS. This

is superior to pointing to the HTTP version and relying on 301 redirects. Register the HTTPS version in both Google and Bing Webmaster Tools. Update your sitemaps to reflect the new URLs. Submit the new sitemaps to

Webmaster Tools. Leave your old (HTTP) sitemaps in place for 30 days so search engines can crawl and "process" your 301 redirects.

Update your robots.txt file. Add your new sitemaps to the file. Make sure your robots.txt doesn't block any important pages.

If necessary, update your analytics tracking code. Most modern Google Analytics tracking snippets already handle HTTPS, but older code may need a second look.
