Meta title tag is the main text that describes an online document. Meta title elements have long been considered one of the most important On page SEO elements. Meta title tag is visible to users and to search engine robots. So it shows the search engines and your visitors what your page is about. So your Meta title should be eye catchy and keyword focused. Your Meta should be in 55-60 characters, because Google typically displays the first50-60 characters of a title tag, or as many characters as will fit into a 512 pixel display.

Meta description describe subject of your content. It is very important. It is visible in search engine result page (SERP). Maximum user click your site’s URL only watching your title, but there are some advanced user (might be 20% or more), they must read the Meta description. After reading when they become sure that, this is the site that he/she is searching for then they click on the link. So it is very important.
Code sample:
<head>
<meta name="description" content="This is an example of a meta description. You must keep your keyword in Meta description.It will be in 160 to 170 characters ">
</head>

  •   Website contains 30 plus pages or posts (White hat SEO)
Google is continuously improving its search algorithms to improve its search performance.  Google always want to show the best possible result to its users. Google does not like thin affiliate sites. So it will be a very difficult task for you to rank with 5-6 page or post. Your page should be minimum 25, but 30+ is very good.

Paid links

It doesn’t matter whether you are buying or selling paid links. You might be penalized. After the Penguin update, Google has clearly stated to stay away from these types of links.

Article Directory Links

Before 2011 article directory links were easy to acquire by spinning content and it was working also. But in the post-penguin era, this kind of links has no value; even it can be the cause of penalty.

Reciprocal  link

Reciprocal link were popular for years. The whole concept of “you link to me and I’ll link back to you” was a common practice. However, Google stated it became abused, and no longer provides any SEO value.

Low quality directory links

Recently many old ( free) directory have been de-indexed by Google. But there are still some industry-specific directories that are good for links and for traffic. So we should avoid low quality general directory.
