What Does Mobile First Index Actually Mean?
Ever since Google’s Gary Illyes dropped his mobile first index announcement at Pubcon, there’s been lots of theorizing, conjecture, rampant speculation, panic, and confusion about what exactly that means. Will desktop users get mobile sites? Will sites without the mobile friendly designation suffer? Do we need to change all of our canonical tags? How will Google handle the reduced token corpus? What the hell are tokens and a corpus?
Google has gone on record that they are still figuring out exactly how to handle some issues, but that’s probably not comforting to many businesses who rely on Google traffic to pay their bills. As a recovering software engineer turned SEO, I’d like to try and tackle some of these complaints head on and reason through just exactly what may change, how Google might handle them, and what exactly some of these things mean. At the very least, I will add to the theorizing, conjecture, rampant speculation, and panic.

The 10 Most Common SEO Mistakes E-Commerce Sellers Make
E-commerce continues to grow in popularity around the world, as 44% of online shoppers start their buying process with a search engine.

It’s not the sort of campaign that you can turn off and turn back on, expecting to be right where you left off. If you take any time off from SEO work it will likely coincide with a gradual dip in organic traffic. Here are the things you should be doing regularly for SEO success:

How to Do Keyword Research: A Complete Guide
Search engines have been minimizing the importance of keyword relevance signals for ranking for many years.
It is a fact that keywords are no longer necessary or mandatory to be present in the title tag or in heading tags (H1, H2, H3) in order to rank in the top five of the search engine results pages. Even using the exact keyword phrases within the text of a web page is no longer required.
Should you abandon keyword research and focus more effort on content creation? Surprisingly, the answer is no.

7 SEO Tools We’re Thankful For
I know what it’s like running a business. There’s always a thousand and one things to attend to. And when it comes to SEO, make that a thousand and one.
Of course, don’t forget that’s without keeping on top of the subject matter and learning all the new techniques and updates. SEO can be complex; it seems like every day there is some new SEO strategy to be learned and 100 more articles to read.
It can be overwhelming and often, force it to the back burner. I know so many business owners who have found it can be too time-consuming to get enough of the skills and knowledge to dive in and optimize for SEO on their sites.

Yes, Social Media Matters for SEO Link Building
If someone told you that social media doesn’t matter for SEO link building purposes, they’re wrong.
While it’s true that links shared in social media are nofollowed and aren’t directly growing your SEO link portfolio or influencing the search engine algorithms, an active social media presence can grow your link profile in other ways. Social media is an important outlet for growing your brand and making connections. And what sites do you think generate natural inbound links that DO impact SEO ranking? You got it, the sites that have a trusted brand and lots of connections. Social media absolutely matters for SEO link building as long as you’re doing the following:
