Hello Everyone,

I am new to SEO and need some help. I have 6 sites and I need to know what are the top 5 strategies for Off page seo. I mean the most important ones.

In addition to the Beginner's Guide to SEO, I'd also suggest reading through the Beginner's Guide to Link Building. Especially if you're looking for information on off-site.

Yes, definitely read the beginners guide.

Okay, this is just off the top of my head about issues other than on-page content. Consider in whatever order:

• Original choice of competitive niche. If it's too tough to compete or is so nichey there is no search traffic, you can't win no matter what you do.

• Link profile https://moz.com/researchtools/ose/  Is the content good enough or are you in some other way able to promote quality links to your site?

• Site architecture. How far from the homepage is any given page? Try for two pages or less.

• Site speed (hosting + code) https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/

• Mobile friendliness https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/mobile-friendly/

• Google Search Console fixes/improvements (errors, indexability, html improvements, etc) https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/home?hl=en

If you have a site that is targeted to a niche that you can/should compete in (and where there is traffic), with a good link profile, constructed properly, loading fast, mobile friendly and not too broken, you ought to succeed to some degree. And then just don't forget the good on-page content!

Best of Luck! ...Mike
