Inbound links too play a massive role in the process of improving the SEO of an article. These are the links of your own articles in the same blog. When you link a certain word or a phrase to one of your articles published on the same blog itself, that link becomes an inbound link.

For an SEO friendly article, there must be a focused keyphrase. Remember, setting a focus keyphrase does not have to be done in a careless manner. As an example let's assume that you set "SEO friendly articles" as the keyphrase for this article's title. After setting that, you ought to have that focused keyphrase in the title, subheadings, meta description, slug, and in introduction text. Moreover, you have to mention the key phrase several times in the body of the article. Remember, to not to use a previously used keyphrase.

5\. Title Width

Your SEO title will be the first thing potential visitors of your site see on the search results pages. And, if your title is not good enough, it'll also be the only thing they see. So, the purpose of your SEO title is to make people click on the snippet, come to your website and read your post or buy your product. To increase the odds of that happening, you want to make sure your title is compelling: enticing, not too short and not too long.

6\. Meta Description
--------------------

The meta description is an HTML attribute that provides a brief summary of a web page. Search engines such as Google often display the meta description in search results, which can influence click-through rates. Usually, this can be any length, but Google generally truncates snippets to ~155--160 characters. So, I recommend you to write meta descriptions between 50-160 characters.
