Most of us are focused on big things and why not. Keyword density and back links seem to occupy our minds in exclusion of everything else. Meanwhile there are some small factors which seem to have a significant impact on SEO. These are age of your website or blog, time till which the blog is registered, download speed and traffic to your site.

Age of website

You might ask what age has got to do with SEO. But Google thinks otherwise. To me it makes sense. It’s like this – you build a new website, attract people using foul and fair means, make a fast buck and then disappear from the scene. How do I judge you if you have hardly been there on the scene? Longer you have been present on   internet, Google gets more opportunity to analyze your intent and content.

However, there is not much you can do about this factor. It’s kind of ‘for information only’ kind of information. 

Years upto which the domain is registered

This is a factor which you can do something about. Many of us, due to monetary reasons register our domain name for a year and then extend it year after year. To Google it looks as if you are there for a temporary period. What if you were a fly by wire kind of operator? Are you there only to make a fast buck? Will your blog disappear next year? These are questions which Google algorithm is bound to ask. You must therefore provide a reassuring answer. I would recommend at least five years domain registration for your website or blog. It’s worth the money you spend for it. Moreover you get discounts, savings coupons and promotion codes which can help you reduce cost considerably. Moreover it gives you peace of mind.

Download speed

Page download speed is a factor which we tend to ignore and this makes a whole lot of difference. Google loves faster downloads and rewards you for it. You can reduce download speed with very little effort. You must pay attention to your index page or home page. Less graphics, no videos and nil audio is a good formula to follow. There are many tools which can determine your download speed. I suppose this factor can be managed in about half an hour of your time.

Traffic

Your blog is one of millions floating around on the net. You would be surprised to know that many don’t have any traffic. These blogs or sites obviously don’t mean much even if they are optimized and have hundreds of backlinks. Google gains only if your blog has traffic – more the merrier. From the standpoint of Google traffic means a lot. Due to this reason Google search algorithm caters to traffic in no small measure. This is one of the reasons why many sites buy traffic. Even if your site shows activity, it’s worth it. That’s the reason why blogs welcome comments. 

Conclusion

The above factors may seem small but they are significant. A little attention can make your blog go far.
