1. What SEO and running have in common SEO (search engine optimization) and running have a lot in common. Successful search engine optimization is a marathon. If you want to reach the finish line in a marathon, you have to have to get in shape. If you want to get high rankings on search engines, there are several things that you have to do.
1. Be willing to change and be willing to work Good SEO programs and SEO services will tell you what you have to do but the work is up to you. You must also implement the changes on your website. Take the advice of your SEO fitness coach and do something. Try to improve your website. Do not search for reasons why improvement is not possible. Do the things that are necessary to bring your website into shape even if it requires some work. 2. Be honest to yourself If you want to be fitter then you shouldn't go to the refrigerator at night and pretend that you didn't. If you want to get higher rankings on Google, you shouldn't torpedo your search engine optimization efforts by doing things with your website that you like but aren't recommended by the SEO service. 3. It helps a lot if you have the right equipment It's easier to work out if you have the right equipment. If you want to run long distances, you need running shoes. If you want to get on Google's first result page, you need a good domain name, a good server, clean web pages and a good SEO tool. It will be much easier to get good results then. 4. Do not try to game the system If you want to be fitter without working out, you might take some pills. This can work for some time but ultimately, the pills will make you sick and destroy your body. If you want to get quick search engine optimization results, you might consider spammy techniques that promise immediate or very fast results. These methods can work for some time but Google detects all spam methods sooner or later and your website will be banned from the index.

Google: use HTTP status code 503 for temporary outages of your website
"Occasionally we see sites temporarily closing functionality, encouraging users to take action on an issue they care deeply about. [...] This can have a negative effect on your site's overall visibility in search. However, you can also do it in a way that's neutral for search [...] Returning a 503 HTTP result code tells search engines to ignore the current content, and to come back again a bit later."
Editor's note: Check the HTTP status codes of your web pages with the website audit tool in SEOprofiler.
Google: domain length is not a ranking factor
"Domain name or URL length is not a factor. Shorter is not better for SEO. Maybe better or easier for marketing, which is separate.
We do use length lightly for canonicalization, but that's choosing between 2 versions of the same thing (eg, /home/ vs /home/index.html)."
Google: SEO for Google Images
"John Mueller, Search Advocate at Google, dives into how images work on Google, using images to achieve your site's goals, and SEO and optimization best practices for images."
