– Fully meet the requirements, e.g. in the syllabus – Form follows function – show your professionalism – Perfect references, not just hyper links

  • A good content – show, that you understand the

topic and learned something

  • Never write in first person (‘I’), except when your

personal opinion is asked for

From your query to the result you see

  • Search terms in page title or even in the URL?
  • Do they appear in the headline?

  • Does the page use synonyms?
  • High or low quality Website?
