How does Google work, you ask? First, Google follows links. Moreover, they follow links from one web page to another. Above all, descriptive links work best for users and specifically for SEO purposes.
For example, the best practice for a descriptive link includes linking the ‘keyword or keyword phrase‘ within a sentence or paragraph to a corresponding webpage. To illustrate this, let’s look at an example in real time.
Below is a snippet of a website article about web maintenance containing specific words with text links. For instance, under the section ‘Check Your Web Forms,’ find three text links to the following phases:
1. ASP mail form script sending form mail on Exchange Server
2. ASP mail form script on Network Solutions
3. ASP Mail form script on Go Daddy
Above all, from an SEO perspective, these key phrases rank on the first page of Google searches. View the three videos below to see the 1st page of Google search results for each descriptive phrase, a.k.a long-tail key phrases.

The Google crawler follows these links 24/7 and saves all crawlable information in a vast database called the Google Index. Specifically, this crawlable information includes Web pages, Blog pages, Documents (PDF, DOCX, PPT, XSL), and Images. Moreover, Google regularly updates its index. Furthermore, the traffic on your site and the number of changes you make impact how often these crawlers visit your website.

IN CONCLUSION
Posting original content often and frequently with descriptive links attracts attention on Google. Specifically, the same goes for revising your existing content! Either way, both methods help to increase your visitor traffic and website ranking on Google.
1. Optimize the website’s content with relevant keywords.
2. Build high-quality backlinks to the website from other reputable websites.
3. Ensure that the website has a fast loading speed and is mobile-friendly.
4. Use alt tags to describe images and other media on the website.
5. Create high-quality, unique content that is regularly updated.
6. Use structured data and schema markup to help Google understand the website’s content.
7. Make sure Google indexed the website correctly by submitting a sitemap and using Google Search Console. Optimize the website’s meta tags, including the title and description.
It’s important to note that Google’s algorithm constantly evolves, so staying up-to-date with the latest best practices and guidelines is crucial. Additionally, ranking factors for one website may be less important for another, so conducting thorough keyword research and understanding a website’s specific needs and goals is essential.
