Q.70 What is link building and why does it matter?

Google exists to help people who are looking for information. That means Google is always attempting to figure out which results are the most relevant for every given searcher at any given time. Google takes trustworthiness into account in addition to relevance. As a result, the search engine examines your website to see if it has been linked to by other websites. If this is the case, your material is worth linking to and, as a result, is more reliable than a website with no external links. In a word, SEO specialists use link building to try to obtain links to their websites in order to boost search results.

Meta tags have changed since SEO became a common practice, but two remain critical: the page title and the meta description. Stick to these when answering your interview question. The page title (sometimes called SEO title) plays an important role in ranking but it is also important because it is the title that shows on the Search Results Page (SERP). It must use a keyword to rank well with Google but it must also be compelling so a user will want to click on it. The meta description does not affect ranking, but it also plays a role in the SERP because it also must make the user want to click on the search result. You should also mention that Google recently increased the character length limit of meta descriptions to around 280 to 320 (no one is sure of the actual limit yet).

Report This Question

Q.76 What is the difference between a do-follow and no-follow and how are they used?

We don't want every single webpage or link to be crawled and ranked by a search engine, hence nofollow links exist. As a result, no-follow link characteristics instruct search engine bots to ignore a certain link. The link can still be clicked by a human, but not by a bot. All other links, on the other hand, might be deemed do-follow links, even though they don't need extra attributes to inform the search engine bots to follow them—the bots will follow them by default.

The higher your quality score, the less money you'll have to spend.
