Best results come through best practices combined with great technologies. And without knowing the right path, it's difficult to bring out the desired effect. It goes similar to Search Engine Optimization. You have to know search algorithms, processes, and factors of Google's search-bots to beat the other SERPs.

  • Google Major Algorithm Updates 
    • If you notice a sudden drop in traffic and rankings while looking at your site statistics, you might’ve been bitten (or clawed) by one of those beasts.
    •  
    • Penalty Patterns 
        • Manual Penalty (Backlinks) - Google Webmaster Tools
        • Algorithmatic Penalty
      •  
    • Let’s look at the biggest Google algorithm updates of all time.
    •  
      • Google Panda (Content Quality)
      •  
          • This algorithm update is the most likely to strike you. Google Panda evaluates websites based on the quality of their content. Pages with high-quality content are rewarded with higher ranking positions, and vice versa.
          • Thin content. This doesn’t necessarily mean content with too few words. Type “is it Christmas?” on Google. Check this site: https://isitchristmas.com/
          • Low-quality content. Poorly formatted text with grammar errors, huge or otherwise distracting images, design that negatively affects a user’s experience – anything you suspect will rub users the wrong way, will.
          • Unhelpful, untrustworthy content. Google has no tolerance for incompetence and con artistry.
          • Duplicate text. Reusing text and passing it off as your original work, is a no-go.
          • Article spinning. Spinning often lowers the content’s quality.
        •  
      • Google Penguin (Backlinks Profiles)
      •  
          • This is the second algorithm update most likely to hit you. Penguin has a lot in common with Panda, but it evaluates websites for a different factor: their link profiles.
          • Buying links. It’s a violation of Google’s Webmaster Guidelines to acquire links that pass PageRank in exchange for money or products.
          • Lack of anchor text diversity. Text inside backlinks is another factor affecting the quality of your link profile. If this text is the same everywhere, it will look to Google like an attempt to manipulate your rankings.
          • Low quality of links. A backlink will set Penguin off if the content surrounding it is low-quality or contextually irrelevant to the linked page.
          • Keyword stuffing. Surprise! You’d think this would be Panda’s territory, since keywords are on-page content. But Penguin also watches for an unnatural use of keywords. Have you ever encountered pages with long, near-meaningless sentences filled with dozens of search queries? That’s what keyword stuffing looks like at its worst.
        •  
      • Google Pigeon (Local SEO)
      •  
          • If you’ve ever dabbled in local SEO, you most likely know about the ranking factors involved in it.
        •  
      • Google Hummingbird (Latent Symantic Indexing - LSI)
      •  
          • Hummingbird started the era of semantic search.
          • Keywords should be LSI & synonymous.
          • Article should be informative.
          •  
              • Buy Lawn Mower Online
              • Lawn Mower For Sale
          •  
      • Google Payday Loan (Casino)
      •  
          • This update was straightforward and simple. It targeted sites using high-risk SEO methods (such as spammy links) to rank for the above mentioned keywords: sites with pornographic content, high-interest loan sites, casino sites , gambling and so on.
        •  
      • Google Mobile-Friendly update (Mobilegeddon)
      •  
          • All Google did was introduce a new mobile search ranking factor: the user experience quality when viewed on small screens.
          • Responsive design . It is possible to design a website in such a way that it will automatically adjust itself to any screen it’s displayed on.
          • Large font. Another way to save the users’ time is to make your text larger than you’d normally do for a PC screen.
          • No unplayable elements. Who wants to see messages like “this content cannot be played on your device”? They make users feel like they are missing out. E.g., Flash.
          • No intrusive elements (with a few notable exceptions). Popups that all of a sudden cover the site you’ve been browsing peacefully are a UX killer.
          • Space between interactive elements. If there are any buttons, checkboxes or the like on a page, make them large enough so they’d be easy to press and leave some room between them so the users with big fingers won’t press the wrong one by mistake.
          • No separate website. Frankly, having one won’t hurt your SEO or rankings, but you’ll save time and effort if you don’t create one. Just focus on making your primary domain mobile-friendly instead of working on an m-dot.
          • Loading speed. Google has finally announced their plans to make web pages’ loading speed a ranking factor. It’s even more important to sites that want to be mobile-friendly, since mobile users tend to close a slow-loading tab sooner than most. How does one make their site load faster? Either Image optimization Or No excessive code and BOTH!
        •  
      • Google Fred (Ads, UI & UX)
      •  
          • Fred is all those minor updates to Google’s search algorithm that are made every day.
          • Aggressive advertisement. Fred helped websites that emphasized content over ad revenue, which is why users visit websites in the first place.
          • Thin, low-value content. If users could find better content elsewhere, Fred shared the sentiment and promptly rewarded the more worthy websites.
          • Poor user experience. Fred wasn’t picky about the methods of disrupting UX. If a site had popups covering the entire screen, wasn’t optimized for mobile, or had a user-unfriendly navigation, the outcome was the same.
          •  
      • RankBrain (Articial Intelligence)
      •  
          • It is artificial intelligence. He knows where you are and shows you results based on your location. The closest business gets the highest rank.
          • It identifies relevance features for web pages ranking for a given query, which are basically query-specific ranking factors. Lack of query-specific relevance features; shallow content; poor UX
          • RankBrain is part of Google’s Hummingbird algorithm. It is a machine learning system that helps Google understand the meaning behind queries, and serve best-matching search results in response to those queries. Google calls RankBrain the third most important ranking factor.
          •  
          • For Example

              • Apple (Fruit)
                • Juice
                • Drinks
