      Hi community,

      I am just trying to figure out which can be priority in on page, off page and technical SEO. Which one you prefer to go first? Which one is easy to handle? Which one is easy to measure? Your opinions and suggestions please. Expecting more realistic answers rather than usual check list.

      Thanks

        On-site is priority number 1. Before you can conduct any off-site, you need to have a solidly built website to direct them to, or they'll simply bounce.

        There are niche affiliate marketers such as Income School that rely solely upon on-site SEO for the success of their businesses. While I disagree with their theory of not conducting off-site strategies as a part of my link building efforts, I like the fact they solidify the necessity to focus on your website.

        I'm not sure what you mean as far as Technical SEO, I think there are quite a few advanced aspects to both on-site, and off-site SEO, but I haven't seen it categorized separately from the two by itself quite yet, not saying some experts don't, just new outlook to it as of this moment.

          on-page,

          technical,

          off-page

          On-page is basics and should be done first. You can see its effect just in a few months or weeks sometimes. When it is done properly, websites start ranking (of course with low competition keywords, but still it is the you're doing it right).

          What is great here is that you can improve on-page SEO occasionally and detect what brings the best ranking results.

          Technical issues are important too as indexing, mobile friendliness affect SERP in a positive way and actually they are important ranking factors.

          Off page SEO is being discussed much though backlinks still work. There are good services for backlinks purchase just choose the best one matching your needs.

          Hope that helped a bit. Good luck!

          • Do we take a SEO hit for having multiple URLs on an infinite scroll page vs a site with many pages/URLs. If we do take a hit, quantify the hit we would suffer.
