Plus, overuse of the same keywords makes your site look spammy, resulting in penalization by Google. <\/span><\/p>\n

Inconsistent Content Publishing<\/h2>\n

Moreover, since Google loves fresh content, a website that consistently publishes content has a better chance of being ranked at the top of the search engine result pages. Thus, in order to reap benefits like increase traffic, improve CTRs and a higher ranking it is important that you create high-quality content and publish it consistently.<\/span><\/p>\n
