Ranking Factors
2015
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.

24. 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 Search Console 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.
34. “For many, reading on the mobile web is a slow, clunky and
frustrating experience - but it doesn’t have to be that
way. The Accelerated Mobile Pages (AMP) Project is an
open source initiative that embodies the vision that
publishers can create mobile optimized content once
and have it load instantly everywhere.
35. Why AMP is Important?
It’s so Fast
Increase CTR
It will be ranking factor

<link rel="amphtml" href="http://www.example.com/blog-post/amp/">

38. AMP for Wordpress, Easy!
1. Install the official AMP Wordpress plugin
2. Activate the plugin – what it will do is append /amp on all your pages but
what it won’t do is redirect mobile visitors to your /amp pages
3. Add this code to your .htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/amp$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} (android|blackberry|googlebot-
mobile|iemobile|iphone|ipod|#opera mobile|palmos|webos) [NC]
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9-]+)([/]*)$ https://example.com/$1/amp [L,R=302]
4. Customize your AMP template: wp-content -> plugins -> amp ->
template.php
39. After All, It’s Validate Time!

40. Google Analytics on AMP
The AMP WordPress plugin doesn’t enable amp-analytics out of the box,
but it’s fairly straightforward to enable.
To enable the AMP WordPress plugin to work with Google Analytics, edit the amp-post-
template-actions.php
