Best SEO Tricks from Online Marketing Experts:
SEO Friendly URL is required:
As bloggers; our main task is to help users find proper answers to their questions. The Web page URL is the part of the puzzle. The first thing that people see in search engines is the title, description and URL.
All these characteristics influence the user behaviour and compel them to click. The more the CTR, the more benefit you get from Google. If all other parameters are equal then your web page will rank up higher in search results.
The blogs of Neil Patel have URLs generated automatically based on the post name and publication date. URLs generally consist of 3- 5 words which makes them short and easily readable.
404 Error Page & Call to Action:
How many broken links do you have even though they are not available on the internet? People usually make misprints when they provide links to you. All these things lead to 404 page and then they are unable to find the content.
This means that the page in question is not found anywhere and as a result; users will likely leave your blog for good. Some CTAs are so attractive that they compel visitors to download the free eBook.
Call to Action is of equal importance as compared to About Page on the blog and as a result; many people forget about it; experts are no exception. This page also affects the page ranking in the search results.
One can make use of several tools to identify 404 error pages on your blog. These tools can be Google Analytics, Google Search Console, and Screaming Frog SEO Spider. Broken Link Check is an excellent tool that is used to find broken links.
One can also find broken links on the websites to which you can give links.

People will likely to go for those sites which get loaded quickly. Speed is still a factor which is of prime importance. During recent years, Speeds have increased to an extent. A few years ago; speed was not given much importance.
At present, fast internet speed has become reality. The reason; when it comes to internet we are addicted to have quick results as Google offers thousands of results within seconds.

Just write few posts but they should be elaborative with detailed and perfect explanation about the topic. For instance:
