1. Content Quality Over Quantity
- Depth matters: Comprehensive content (2,000+ words) outperforms shallow posts.

3. User Experience (UX) Signals
- Bounce rate: Improve with engaging content and internal linking.
- Dwell time: Longer time on page signals value.

4. Content Freshness
- Update old posts with new data (e.g., “2024 SEO Trends”).
- Use Google’s ‘Last Updated’ markup.
5. Internal Linking
- Guide users (and Google) to related content.
- Use anchor text like “Learn more about technical SEO here.”
6. Multimedia Integration
