Post that has linked in the sitemap of its own site performs well in Google Search. So, always keep updating your sitemap with your new and important content(s).

The URL of your post is one of the most important factors of Google Rank. A URL that has keywords about that article’s mainly focused topic can boost up your page ranking. But the URL shouldn’t be too long as well. You should use only English words un URL and there shouldn't be any space or underscore. You should use hyphens. Just look at our URL.
61. Do Not Comment Links:
If you comment on your site’s links in other’s blog posts in a large percentage, then maybe you can be marked as SPAMMER by Google. You should better give up this habit of getting backlink if you have this bad habit.
62. Hyperlink:
Backlinks are important. But if that link is hyperlinked in an article’s body then it performs well. And again, mentioning without hyperlinked gives the site a brand image.
63. Link’s Location in Content:
A link at the beginning of relevant content can also perform well a bit. You should not place any link at the beginning of the content. Place links there where the user actually needs it or the user actually looking for it.

70. Adding Too Many Ads:
Google likes to penalize sites with less content but too many advertisements. Think about your users' benefit before your own.
71. Good Content:
Ultimately, good content matters most. If your content is not so good, then using a lot of SEO factors won’t make any positive results.

We have already said details about it. Using Keywords, title, meta description, image, alt text all are part of On-page Optimization.

76. Parked Domains:
Google usually finds parked domains and penalize them.
77. EMD:
EMD or Exact Matched Domain helps a site to rank. Like if your site is about Bicycle and you are lucky to get bicycle.com. This is called Exact Matched Domain. But getting an exact matched domain is not a tiny deal. Here you can go with a subdomain.
78. Good Server:
If your site has hosted with some other sites, then the server’s all site’s performance and quality puts an impact on yours. So, try to use a good Hosting Server. Do not take hosting from a low-quality server just to save some money. It can kill your site.

Google loves to penalize sites that optimized a lot. Over Optimization is always hurting. You need on-page optimization but not over-optimization.
81. Breadcrumb Navigation:
Using Menu, Sub-menu, Dropdown, labels, suitable tags can boost your site’s rank.
82. Spent Time on Site:
If a user comes to your site and stays some times that means that your content was helpful for that user. This is an important factor obviously. Coming and leaving instantly put a negative impact on your page. If users do it by mistake, then also it may hurt you.
83. On-Page Optimization Rate:
You should check your on-page optimization rate out of 100. The more you can score, the higher rank your site will get. There are too many sites that will help you to do so. Many are free, many are paid.

Never create a long URL with too many words. A short but good (with the main keyword) is always good for a site.

87. H1 Tags:
Your title should be in H1 Tag. You shouldn’t use more than one H1 tag in the article or even on that page. You can use H2 or H3 instead if need.
88. Page’s Layout:
The more attractive your page’s layout is, the better your page will get returning visitors. But never forget about Page Speed. Page speed is more important than style.
89. The number of Total Pages:
The number of Total pages never put an impact on ranking. But if you have many pages and all of them are about close topics, then it will help Google to understand your site’s focused topic.
90. Tag: Rel=Canonical:
A canonical tag is helpful for a site in many ways. One needs to study more about this type of tag. Now just Google it.
91. Distracting Ads:
Using spammy ads as well as distracting ads can distract visitors from your page. You shouldn’t use too many ads on your page also. Always focus on the user first and then about ads if you really want to get more organic traffic.
92. Ads with Upper Portions:
If you give too many ads and also give ads at the beginning of your page in a bigger portion, then your page has a great chance of being penalized by Google.
93. Bounce Rate:
As the bounce rate is too easy to spam, it is not the best ranking factor. Yet it is a factor and an important factor as well.
94. DMCA Complaints:
DMCA or Digital Millennium Copyright Act works to protect other’s intellectual properties. Getting any DMCA complaint hampers a site’s rank greatly. So, never ever try to publish other's contents without their permission.

Besides site can be penalized by Google Panda for some other reasons i.e. Plagiarism, Thin content, Poor User Experience, User-Generated Spam, etc. Learn more about Google Panda and Panda Penalty.
97. Brand Mention:
Non-hyperlinked but mentioned of other sites have marked that site as a brand. As in this article, we haven't hyperlinked Moz, Backlinkinfo, Grammarly, Ubersuggest but mentioned them. Here they are being marked as brands although they are already brands. If you get this type of mention then you will get almost the same value.
98. Social Media Accounts:
If your site has a social media account or page (i.e. Facebook, Instagram) then you should keep that up to date. Google sometimes check it. If you have a page with 20K follower but you don’t post on that page regularly then, that won’t make anything good for you. So, you need to update posts or statuses there regularly. Share on social media like Facebook plays a great role in getting traffic as well as popularity.
99. Updating Sitemap Regularly:
You have to update your sitemap regularly with your latest posts. You should link only useful content there, not all articles.
100. Official LinkedIn Page:
Real businesses usually have a company LinkedIn page; it will help you to get trustworthiness.
101. Twitter Profile:
Having a Twitter profile is not given too much priority by most of the site's owners. But having a Twitter profile is important to prove that your site is a brand or your site is here to be a brand. Because big brands usually have one.
102. Searching a Keyword with Site’s Name:
If people search for something with a site’s name from where he wants to get the information (i.e. Goal.com Messi FCB), Google then gives that site (here Goal.com) a better position. So, if you get this type of organic search, you have a big chance to rank higher.
103. Images as Result:
Sometimes images also come as organic Google Search Result. Like if you ask Google “Game of Thrones Cast”, then Google will give you images of all the actors and actresses of GOT in the first result. Again, if you search for "Bug Insects" you will get images as results. Besides these, images are important because Google gives options to see the images as a search result if a user needs or wants.
104. PLU:
PLU/Payday Loans Update is a special algorithm and one needs to study huge about it. So, after reading this article, you can go for knowing about Payday Loans Update along with Rel=Canonical as we mentioned before.

Although Google+ failed to get popularity, sites added to one’s Google+ Circle used to get a higher position in the past. But as Google Plus is no longer available for consumers and brands, maybe it won't matter a lot now. In Android Google+ has become Google Currents.
110. Safe Search:
Adult contents won’t appear if the user turned on Safe Search. So, try to use nonadult words in your title and content if you don't need it.
111. Natural Link:
Never try to build spammy strategies to build a link. Natural Link profiles is an important fact. Create a link that actually identifies your content. Google is too smart to detect spammy links.
112. Guest’s Generated URL:
Many sites have opportunities for publishing articles of users by users automatically. Google can easily identify which of the URL has been created by Site Owners and which have been created by Guests or Users. Too many guest's created URL is a big NO.

114. Removing Everything that Slows Down a Website:
