This popularity-based indicator is exactly what search engines need in order to cut through the noise of brand websites’ self-optimised content, and ascertain the true worth of a site. The top ranking sites pursue these kinds of strategies aggressively and comprehensively at a keyword level, hence their considerable success.

You should ensure your site is accessible to search engines. In addition, you should focus on developing linking strategies around each product to rapidly and dramatically improve the quantity and quality of links from third-party websites, and point to the relevant pages within your own website.
