      Many pages on the web rank highly - even though they have no keyworded text. They might have listings, or just images. How do they achieve such high rankings? Is it just by getting lots of inbound links?

        If trusted websites are linking to that page, the anchor text used to link to that page is a huge signal to Google that that page is relevant to those keywords being used in the anchor text. So Google will start to rank that page higher for those keywords, sometimes despite those keywords not even making a single appearance on the page.

            OK. So as long as I add in lots of meta tags, then I don't actually need text on the page to help Google? Meta tags + a headline + lots of good inbound links will be enough?

              • There is a site which is continuously copying our content from past 3-4 years but previously it was not ranking but now it is ranking higher than our website and the content is completely copied.

              • For a consumer facing blog, how often do you recommend updating content to develop good rankings? I understand that it's really dependent upon the niche/competition, but what are some best practices? Content is expensive. Thanks
