Advanced SEO Guide for Blogger/Blogspot Blogs

The way people approach the Search Engine Optimisation tips and tricks are altering every day. Why? Because of Alphabet Inc. is changing Google’s algorithms as fast as possible in the hunt to answer the user’s queries as soon as possible. While, on Youtube, algorithms are changing in a manner so that users remain on Youtube for a long time as possible. If you ask what are the top three factors of Search Engine Optimisation in Google, ATB suggests you – Content, Backlinks, and RankBrain. And, if you ask what is top Ranking Factor for Youtube, then it’s Time of Video. More the time the viewer spends on your video, the higher the rankings.
