SEOWhat is Off-Page SEO?
Off-page SEO is that part of SEO that is performed outside of the website. It is the syndication segment of any SEO campaign whereby links and citations from other websites reveal the popularity and authority of certain webpages or websites. This indication of popularity allows Google to know which sites` information is inferior or superior.
While, on-page elements can be manipulated by SEOs and website owners for maximum performance, links on the other hand, cannot be as manipulated. This is why Google places a huge importance on link relationships.
Yes, links can also be manipulated for ranks but they are easily discovered by Google. Link Manipulation techniques are over-linking, spamming and they offer no user-value. If links are built for ranking alone and not for the overall usefulness of its readers and searchers, then those links get an almost zero value, and this is why, link building is the SEO champion. This is also exactly the reason why such a huge value has been placed on link building and relationships.
Websites are social -- they inform, engage and entertain. Some websites are just going to be better than others. This inferiority or superiority of a website can be read by Google through
-
Content
Good Content gets good readership. If the content in a website is good, people will take time to read the pages of a website. This metric can be tracked by Google, they know how much time people spend with a website and its pages.
-
Social Citations
If people like your content, they usually share them or interact with the content. This sends-off social signals that indicates to Google if a brand, website is legitimate and is authoritative.
-
Link Quality
The most important indicator of a superior website are the links coming to it from other good websites (websites that are authoritative, popular and relevant to the website in question)
-
User-interaction
Like in the case of content above, user interaction to any content, inside or outside a website can be read by Google. If links and content are placed outside of a website and they are favored by users and readers, this leads Google to conclude that those links are more superior.
