What separates the heavyweights of the search engine rankings from everyone else? That’s a question every good SEO constantly asks themselves as they look to outrank sites that seem to dominate Google for every relevant keyword (like Wikipedia or WebMD).
Unsurprisingly, these sites have more than a few things in common. It’s not just their age or authority either—factors that other sites can’t hope to match. There are plenty of similar qualities that help top sites stand apart from their competitors that you can copy and improve today.
Let’s review five of the most important and surprising factors and explain what you can learn from them and how you can use that to improve your own site.
Let’s get the least surprising commonality out of the way first. The top-ranked sites on Google all have a serious number of backlinks. As we all know, high-quality backlinks almost always mean high rankings.
Research from Backlinko finds the first result on Google has an average of 3.8 times as many backlinks as the rest of the results on the first page.
The big boys have it made when it comes to acquiring more backlinks, too. They continue to get more backlinks over time as a result of their position in Google.
Research by Ahrefs finds that the top three results generate more new referring domains than the rest of the pages on Google. Pages ranked first and second get significantly more new referring domains. Those pages ranking first get between backlinks at a faster rate of between five percent and 14.5 percent per month.
It’s not just a large number of backlinks that are important. They need to be high quality, too. What does a quality backlink look like? It comes from an authoritative domain, is placed within its content, and has topical relevance to your website.
Let’s say you have a car blog. A link from another high-ranking car blog carries more weight and is of higher quality than a link from a major health website because it’s much more relevant to your niche.
You shouldn’t discount internal links, either. The biggest websites (and news outlets in particular) almost always put a lot of effort into making sure every new piece of content links back to several previous posts.
Great internal linking makes it significantly easier for Google to crawl your website and index your information. The easier your site is to crawl, the more likely Google will find and rank your content. They may not have the same power as backlinks, but internal links can still result in higher rankings.
All this is to say that you need to build backlinks in a scalable way if you want your site to compete with the biggest brands in your industry.
Most top-ranking websites are well known for the quality of their content. Okay, some major sites don’t publish high-quality content all of the time, but every high-ranking site does produce exceptional content, at least some of the time.
Don’t forget, high-quality content doesn’t necessarily mean it’s longer or more detailed than everyone else’s. It might contain unique research that other companies can’t hope to copy. Or it could break a story. Or it could be designed better. Or it could go viral. There are lots of ways to create amazing content.
Doing so matters when it comes to SEO because high-quality content helps boost several ranking factors. It’s a magnet for backlinks, it reduces your bounce rate, and it should result in a higher clickthrough rate (CTR).
The top-ranked sites don’t just rely on the objective quality of their content, though. They also take steps to optimize it to perform better in Google. That means including keywords in header tags, throughout the content, in the page title, and in the URL.
Creating high-quality content isn’t easy, especially when there’s no objective way to determine how good your content is. That’s the job of your users. That being said, there are still steps you can take to make it more likely your users think highly of your content.
The first is to make sure it’s written by an expert. This is a pretty simple task for some top-ranking sites like media outlets. Journalists, by default, are experts on certain topics. However, there’s nothing stopping you from writing about your expertise or hiring expert writers, either.
You could even use a strategy adopted by some health websites, where content is written by a professional writer and then fact-checked by a medical professional. Doing so has the double benefit of having content written by an excellent writer while also being medically accurate.
Top-ranking sites on Google put a premium on the user experience and do everything they can to keep customers coming back. This means having a great design, high-quality content as discussed above, an intuitive layout, and a great browsing experience in general. Yes, some of the highest-ranking sites may serve up ads on their pages, but they don’t ruin your browsing experience with them or use intrusive popup ads, either.
A great user experience is one of the reasons these sites are top of Google, after all. Google announced that user experience metrics would be used to rank sites, beginning in 2021. How your site loads, what it looks like, and how users interact with it contribute to your rankings, along with other factors like HTTPS, safe browsing, mobile friendliness, and the presence of interstitials.
Google puts such a big emphasis on your site’s user experience because it aligns with its goal of giving customers the best possible browsing experience. The search giant finds over half (52 percent) of users will be less likely to engage with a brand after a bad mobile experience. So why would it rank you if you have a high bounce rate?
Improving your site’s user experience and aligning it with the experiences provided by the top-ranking sites won’t just improve your rankings; it also makes commercial sense. Ad network Ezoic generated a 186 percent increase in earnings per 1000 visitors by improving the UX of a publisher.
You’ve never had to wait for the New York Times to load, have you? That’s because top-ranking sites know the importance of delivering content as fast as possible. Page load speed has been a ranking factor for desktop searches since 2010, and Google announced it was also a ranking factor for mobile searches back in 2018.
Say it with me: A slower site means lower rankings.
You need to optimize for page speed if you want to mix it with the highest-ranking sites. It’s not so much about getting the edge over your competitors and making your site 0.1 seconds faster, however. It’s about having a site that’s fast enough to not impact the user experience negatively.
Research by Google finds over half (53 percent) of visitors abandon a mobile site if it doesn’t load in three seconds.
If you have a slow site, you won’t just get penalized for a poor load time. You’ll also get penalized for having a high bounce rate as users get fed up with waiting and choose a different site instead.
The easiest way to check your page speed is by using Google’s PageSpeed Insights tool. It will let you know how fast your site is, give it a score out of 100, and suggest improvements.
If you want to have a seriously fast-loading page, read my advice on getting a perfect score with Google PageSpeed Insights.
Have you noticed how some top-ranking sites have several pieces of content that all seem to approach the same topic from a slightly different angle? That’s because they understand the power of user intent and the value Google places on it.
Google wants to serve up the best and most appropriate content for each query. A big part of that is understanding what the user is trying to achieve from their search. Are they trying to learn something? Research a topic? Make a purchase? Google delivers different results for each intent.
For instance, Google shows e-commerce pages where it thinks the user is trying to make a purchase, but it serves up blog articles for information-related queries.
Knowing what type of content Google thinks users want to see is key to becoming a top-ranked site, because you’re much more likely to get ranked if you create content that matches the user intent for each target keyword. This is why so many top-ranking sites have similar content targeting the same topics: to catch every user intent.
It’s not simply a matter of informational vs. commercial, either. There are dozens of types of informative content that users may want to access. In some cases, it’s a listicle. For other queries, a video may be more appropriate.
Taking time to understand the user intent for each keyword or topic you’re targeting can yield serious results. Marketing SaaS CoSchedule saw a 594 percent increase in search traffic when they aligned content with user intent.
They all have a lot of high-quality backlinks, great content, an excellent user experience, a fast-loading website, and content that matches the user’s intent.
This is partly because of the quality of content but also due to the fact that they sit at the top of Google. This makes them an easy target for people trying to link to an authoritative source.
Better content can improve your rankings in several ways. High-quality content attracts more backlinks, but Google also rewards in-depth content and results in users spending a long time on the page.
Google wants to provide the best experience to its users. Part of that means sending them to sites that are easy to browse. It’s why user experience factors are now ranking factors.
Use the Google PageSpeed Insights tool.
Google the keyword you want to rank for and look at the pages that appear in the results. If all of the content has the same format, that’s the type of content you should create.
You can’t turn your website into a top-ranking site overnight. However, you can learn a lot from them and implement tactics they use to improve your site’s Google ranking. There are more than a few things they do in common, as you’ve learned.
Make sure you have a scalable system for generating backlinks, create high-quality content, focus on the user experience, ensure your site loads fast, and consider user intent when you create content.
Do these five things, and you could be well on your way to having a top-ranked site in the future.

There are tons of articles on the internet about how to make working from home work for you. How to run a business from home is a popular topic. You don’t need me to give you more ways to organize your work space or keep yourself out of the fridge. No one needs more work from home tips on how to schedule your day and avoid distractions. There are plenty of places to get those.
I’m going to give you something you can’t in every internet search that includes “work from home” and “tips.” I’m going to tell you how to get the funds you need to run your home based business now, and how to ensure you’re set up properly to get more funds in the future.
You may think you can just go to the bank and get a home based business loan just like any other loan. However, you may be wrong. If your personal credit score is really high, it’s possible. Yet, home based businesses do not traditionally bode well with lenders. These work from home tips can help your business appear fundable to lenders. They can help you build your business credit score. Even better, they can point you in the direction of the best funding options for work at home businesses.
Check out our best webinar with its trustworthy list of seven vendors to help you build business credit.
This tip comes before all the other tips because frankly, some of them are almost impossible to pull off without a business credit expert. This is someone who can help you:
Working on fundability is essential. This is a tip for any business, but fundability is something that many home based businesses struggle with. There are many factors that affect fundability. Still, home based businesses struggle with a few specifically more than others.
The thing is, a major aspect of fundability is to appear to lenders to be separate from the owner. They want to see that a business is fundable on its own. For this to happen, the first thing you have to do is set up your business to be separate from you the owner.
What makes this an exceptional issue for home based businesses? Well, it’s no secret that one of the major benefits of working from home is not having to pay for an office space. There is no lease, no extra utilities, you just use the space you already have.
In fact, most home-based businesses are run as sole proprietorships with the same contact information as the owner. Many do not even open a separate business bank account at first. Also, it’s quite common for sole proprietor’s to simply use their social security number rather than using an EIN from the IRS.
While there is nothing wrong with any of this, it does not suit the purpose of separating your business from yourself for fundability. To do that, you need a separate phone number and address for your business. Do not think that means you have to have a separate location. You do not. There are ways to get a business home phone number and even a separate business address and still run your business from home. You also need an EIN and business bank account.
You also really need to incorporate as an S-corp, LLC, or corporation. For fundability purposes, it doesn’t matter which one you choose. Discuss the options with your tax professional and attorney. They can help you determine which one is best for your budget and needs for liability protection.
If you set your business up to be fundable, it will also be set up the way it needs to be to establish a business credit profile. This means you can start to build your business credit score separate from your personal credit score.
Here is how it works. You have to open accounts in your business name, using your business contact information and your EIN, not your SSN. The catch is, they need to be accounts that will report to the business credit reporting agencies.
Check out our best webinar with its trustworthy list of seven vendors to help you build business credit.
This is easier said than done, as most vendors do not make it easy for the general public to figure out whether they do this. In fact, many do not report, which makes this particular tip harder. In the beginning, you have to find vendors that will extend credit and report payments without checking your credit. That is, if your personal credit isn’t good.
This is one tip where a business credit expert can be especially helpful. These experts know many vendors that will report. They also know which ones you qualify for an account with right now. Even better, they know how to position you so that you can be eligible for more accounts in the future.
With strong fundability you’ll be able to get pretty much any funding your business could ever need, even if it is a home-based business. However, in the beginning, some loans are going to work better than others. Here are some examples.
With the Credit Line Hybrid, you can usually get a loan of 5x the amount of your highest revolving credit limit account, up to $150,000. Honestly, this is more than what you could get on your own when applying for credit cards. Furthermore, you can get cash out on this program.
Also, there is no impact on your personal credit with this type of financing. You need a 680+ credit score, but if you don’t meet that you can take on a credit partner who does. A lot of business owners use the good credit of friends or family to help them get the funding they need.
It does not affect your personal credit score at all. In fact, it can help build your business credit score if your business is set up properly as mentioned above.

Credit Suite business credit experts can help you with these types of funding and more!
While there are plenty of work from home benefits, there are also some disadvantages of working from home. If you want to work from home, you have to find a way to overcome these work from home challenges. If you are running your business from home, one of the greatest of these challenges is funding your business. A Credit Suite business credit expert can help.

What is an insight? According to Merriam-Webster, it’s the “power or act of seeing into something.” LinkedIn Insights gives you the ability to see information about who follows you, engages with your content, or may be of interest to you as a lead or new hire.
Whether you’re hiring, promoting, or putting together marketing strategies, LinkedIn Insights can help you make the most of an already powerful business platform.
As marketers, we live and thrive with the data. Everything we do involves measuring different metrics to see what works and what doesn’t. The key to understanding the data is knowing how to look at it and turn it into action. That’s the goal of LinkedIn Insights.
These analytics aim to limit the amount of data you need to look at in order to get the results you want from your marketing campaign. You’ll essentially be able to optimize the campaign and focus on a more narrow audience.
One of the most powerful aspects of LinkedIn Insights is the fact that you can cater the data to your specific industry. For example, they have several different types of insights: people, industry, advertising, and talent.
Developing the ideal buyer persona is something all great marketers must do. We need to understand our audience at a granular level; what makes them purchase, move, mad, sad, or happy? We should understand all of these factors because it’s how we’ll make the most of our marketing campaigns on LinkedIn and other platforms.
The people insights section on LinkedIn can help you learn more about your audience. The data provides you with information regarding their location, skills, occupation, and data about other people they like and follow on social media.
You can then take that data and filter it so you only get a list of the results you want. For example, if you’re involved with real estate marketing, you may need a highly targeted list within a specific location.
LinkedIn provides ways for you to narrow it down even further. You can get lists of people who engage with certain content similar to yours. Use this trick to your advantage by focusing on the content you think your target demographic will like.
For example, if you’re running LinkedIn ads centered around sports training and fitness for senior citizens, you may know that people interested in the topic are also interested in related topics about aging and retirement.
Having this data allows you to narrow down your search and zero in on your audience to provide you with the best chance of success.
Understanding the ins and outs of a specific industry can also help catapult your marketing campaign in the right direction. Knowing what trends and insights matter to you is most important.
The industry insights section provides you with data on certain industries, such as healthcare and financial services. You can find out information and trending news within these industries, so if you’re targeting these people, you’ll know what’s important to them.
Tools like this are powerful because it helps take a lot of the guesswork and testing out of the game. It takes a lot of time to test ad copy, photos, and colors to see if they’ll resonate with your audience. While you might have a good idea of what will work before you start, you’re still not 100 percent certain (and can never be).
However, having industry insights and knowing for sure what your audience is interested in could make a significant difference in the reach and success of your campaign.
Another great thing LinkedIn industry insights can do is provide examples of what others have done correctly in the past. Thought leaders and frontrunners of a given industry tend to get a lot of attention due to their experience and reputation. Knowing what they’re doing right can help you gain a little insight into what you can do too.
Advertising insights exist to help you understand the LinkedIn advertising model from every angle so you can make the most of every dollar you spend. If marketers understand more about how advertising works, it can help them create more successful campaigns and ultimately a better ROI.
These insights assist with measuring the success of a campaign. You need to know which metrics are important and how they translate into certain actions that get a result.
This section also helps with branding and reach so you can better measure your performance on LinkedIn.
One of the most powerful uses of LinkedIn Insights is the talent insight section. It’s a talent intelligence platform that helps you make better hiring decisions.
Investing in workforce development and onboarding is an expensive process. If you’re consistently trying to hire people and dealing with turnover, it may not be so much about the process but more about your talent acquisition.
Sometimes we have to face the fact that not everyone will work out even if they’re qualified for the job. By utilizing talent insights, you can get a snapshot of what other companies are doing and how skills are changing. Use that to narrow down your search with snapshots and benchmarks.
We all know LinkedIn is a great place to find new talent, but how do you tighten your search so you only discover the talent you want?
The talent insights section on LinkedIn helps you pool all your best candidates based on their experience, education, and history on the platform. You’ll receive real-time data on the supply and demand and a 360-degree view of what the current hiring landscape is like.
This is beneficial for businesses looking to grow and scale rapidly but don’t want to work through all the red tape involved in hiring and onboarding. LinkedIn talent insights help filter through the candidates so you can focus on hiring the best people for the job.
As we dive further into LinkedIn Insights, the benefits continue to pile up. If you’re considering implementing LinkedIn Insights as a part of your marketing campaigns, you may experience some of the following benefits.
Content is the name of the game, and it’s a code we’ll spend forever trying to crack. Unfortunately, there’s no handbook on producing highly targeted content (or is there?). All we can do is get as close as possible and do the best we can from there.
LinkedIn Insights can help by telling us what our audience wants to know more about and what they’d like to avoid whenever possible. We can learn this by translating the data we receive about the most engaged and least engaged content.
You can also use the insights to check out the competition and see what others are doing, then use that knowledge to craft unique content.
Anyone in marketing knows a retargeting ad is worth its weight in gold. Retargeting involves finding someone who recently engaged with something you put out there but didn’t complete the desired action.
For example, you might have offered a free e-book in exchange for an email to add to your list. If someone clicked the ad for the e-book but never entered their email, you could then retarget them with another ad.
These campaigns are so successful because the lead is already warm. They know who you are, and they trusted you enough to at least click your link and go to the next page. Retargeting ads can have a CTR ten times higher than a regular ad.
A lot of hiring managers turn to LinkedIn to find and research candidates in the industry. The qualities and skills of candidates are changing all the time. One of the best ways to learn about prospects is to take a look at pools of candidates on LinkedIn and see what they’re all about.
Understanding your applicants can help you better understand how to find the best ones. If you’re looking to grow your business by hiring a few people, using LinkedIn Insights can help you find the best candidates without time-consuming trial and error hires.
Besides understanding what makes your prospective new employee tick, LinkedIn Insights also helps you learn about what customers want. With follower insights and trends, you can see certain characteristics about all the people who follow your company. You can also track trends that large groups of followers are interested in.
For example, let’s say you own an e-commerce store selling political-related gear, accessories, and clothing. Your popularity would generally skew higher around election time than it would in the other years between.
As the election approaches, you could see what trends people are most interested in, what pages they follow, and what content they engage with the most.
To get LinkedIn Insights up and running, you’ll want to log in to your LinkedIn account and click the “Work” button in the top right corner.
You’re brought a page that displays LinkedIn’s product offerings. To set up insights, you will click the “Insights” button.
Next, you will fill out the following form for someone to reach out to you.
You’ll eventually receive an email from LinkedIn asking for more information about your goals and objectives. This offers a nice personal touch by catering to an individualized plan rather than having a blanket offering that everyone gets.
They also offer a LinkedIn Insights tag you can put on your website to work alongside the LinkedIn Insights process. This tag works exactly like any other social media platform. You’ll copy a small snippet of code and put it on your website. You can then track all the conversions from your LinkedIn ad and gain valuable insight into who they are and what makes them tick.
KBC Bank has one of the most prolific case studies for LinkedIn Insights. Their goal was to improve company culture by developing the best hiring and workforce management process. The problem was, they didn’t have a lot of data on candidates in the space their business is in.
While they had plenty of internal data about candidates they’ve hired in the past and retained, they knew in the current remote landscape it was important to understand the existing marketplace outside of their business.
The team at KBC Bank started using the real-time pool of data they received with Insights. They were then able to take the data and develop an action plan to hire the best possible candidates.
What did they gain as a result?
They gained a better pool of talent by tapping into markets they didn’t know they had. They took the skills and expertise of their candidates and compared them to those their competition was hiring. Finally, they accessed new data to continue to explore the marketplace and make better decisions on candidates in a shorter time using data-driven hiring.
If you’re considering giving LinkedIn Insights a try, my team can help you understand how to leverage your LinkedIn business profile to make the most of your efforts. LinkedIn has always been a powerful B2B platform, but a lot of businesses aren’t using it to its full potential.
Data is important, but it’s not just the data that matters. It’s how you interpret it and turn it into actions and steps to grow your business. That’s the key factor of LinkedIn Insights.
What do you use LinkedIn Insights for? Let me know in the comments.
When you think of business funding companies, you are probably thinking about traditional financing institutions. Large banks, community banks, credit unions and such definitely do offer business loans. However, if you are a small business, you may need to think outside of the traditional funding box a bit.
There are many different options when it comes to funding your business. There are private lenders, which you may have heard referred to as alternative lenders. There are cash advance options which are bad news on all fronts, but especially for funding a business. What you probably haven’t heard of however, is the small niche of business funding companies that do more than just offer business financing. In addition, they offer help improving fundability. This may include consultation, coaching, educational opportunities, and more.
These companies not only help you find the financing you need now, but they can also help you improve business credit and fundability so that you qualify for more and better funding throughout the life of your business.

Working with a business credit expert will save you time, and in the long-term, money. The cost far outweighs the benefit, and you definitely get a bigger bank for your buck.
The vast sea of alternative lenders is hard to swim in. It is full of sharks that are searching for easy prey in the form of small businesses that need money. If you aren’t careful, you will get swallowed up quickly. Unfortunately, the industry is wrought with predatory lending practices.
The key is to find a legitimate business funding company that fits your current needs. A business credit expert is the best way to do this, but here are some good options from U.S. News and World Report to give you an idea of what is out there.

Just like any other online lender, they do have certain requirements to qualify for a loan. For example, a personal credit score of 600 or more. Also, you must be in business for at least one year. Annual revenue must be at or exceed $100,000. In addition, there can be no bankruptcy on file in the past 2 years and no unresolved liens or judgements.
Rapid Finance offers a couple of different options. Which one is right for you will depend on a number of variables.
These range up to $1 million in funding, with terms from 3 to 60 months. Your business needs to be generating revenue to qualify.
You will need to supply a government-issued ID (like a driver’s license), a void check from your business banking account, and the last three statements from your business bank account.
You can get up to $500,000 in funding. In a merchant cash advance. This is funding based on your average daily credit card sales.
You will need to supply a government-issued ID (like a driver’s license), a void check from your business banking account, your last three credit card processing statements, and the last three statements from your business bank account to apply for this.
Bad credit is no problem with this type of funding because typically, repayment is taken directly from credit card sales.
In addition to the lines of credit, merchant cash advances, and invoice funding that many alternative lenders offer, you might also try a credit line hybrid. This is unsecured business financing. It is also no-doc financing. That means you need no collateral and you do not have to turn in any financial statement documents like bank statements or check stubs to qualify.
Find out why so many companies use our proven methods to get business loans.
You do need a 680+ credit score and there are a few other requirements. However, if you don’t meet them all you can choose to use a credit partner. This could be a friend, family member, or partner that does meet the requirements.

It’s not always about a bank or a credit union. You may need to think outside the box for a number of reasons. Maybe you want an option without collateral. Maybe you want to use non-traditional types of collateral such as invoices. Perhaps you do not qualify for a loan at a traditional bank.
