Google looks for natural keywords density, written with a purpose of delivering some meaningful value. Always try to make variations while writing. Try to avoid using “New Delhi Workers Insurance,” 15 times in a 450-word article.
Use variations like “Delhi work comp,” “Work Compensation in New Delhi,” “Work Comp Insurance,” where these variations make sense.
5) Build your successful articles and pages – if your blog or article is doing well, then try to refresh it by adding article and more newer content into it. Research upon the subject and try to make it more valuable.

- Supporting Keyword – These are long tail phrases, which often add to your primary keywords. These are addressed through the blog post.
- Orbiting Keywords – These keywords have nothing to do with the primary keywords of your website. These words outside the specific industry attract the same kind of customers.
7) Internal Linking is evidence that tells Google that your old content is still important – Internal Linking may not give the same” Google Juice,” as external linking. But by using a consistent internal linking strategy is important for Google to patrol deep into your website to older posts, which is still valuable, as well as describing those specific internal pages and the keywords, that should be associated with them.
8 ) Build a natural external links into highest converting content – Try to take external links from the targeted site, which has a deep content structure.
