Technical SEO deals with Identifying technical issues with your site and fixing those issues promptly to boost your search rankings.

In this article, we’ll show you 5 simple technical SEO tips which you can implement right away to improve your site’s search engine rankings.

1) Invest in a Top Web Hosting Service

Site speed is a massive ranking factor.  If your site is slow and takes a long time to load, Google may penalize you and drop your rankings. So even if your content is top notch for a particular keyword or topic, your site will rank lower in SERPs just because your site is slow.

One way to combat the site speed issue is to invest in a top end web hosting service. Check out plans for reliable hosting services such as BlueHost, GoDaddy or Namecheap. 

2) Leverage Internal Linking

Take advantage of internal linking for your website. This is especially useful for new sites that often have trouble generating external backlinks from high authority website. Link from high-authority pages on your site to pages you want to rank.

3) Use Canonical URLs to Avoid Content Duplication

Canonical URLs care useful when you’re replicating a blog post from one website to the other. They are used to avoid content duplication issues. Canonical URLs are especially useful if you’re running an e-Commerce website with hundreds of identical pages.

Watch this video below to see how you can use canonical URL.

 4) Create an XML Sitemap

Sitemaps are necessary for Google to find and index your webpages. You can create it using Yoast SEO plugin or Google XML sitemaps plugin. Once you’ve created the sitemap for your website, submit it to Google via Google Search Console.

5) Make Sure Your Website is Mobile-Friendly

Mobile-friendliness of your website is a major ranking signal. Google gives  increased preference to mobile-friendly, responsive websites. Take Google’s Mobile-Friendly Test to determine if your website meets Google’s criteria. 

So these are the 5 technical SEO aspects you need to focus on to boost your site’s organic rankings.

Mindful Walking: How to Master Walking Meditation

Walking meditation is a form of meditation where you put your entire awareness on walking.

The foundation of walking meditation or mindful walking was laid out in Satipatthana Sutta, a widely studied discourse in Theraveda Buddhism. The Sutta describes walking as one of the meditation postures, along with sitting, standing, and lying down. 

The Buddha has this to say about mindful walking:

A monk knows, when he is walking;‘I am walking’;

he knows, when he is standing;‘I am standing’;

he knows, when he is sitting;‘I am sitting’;

he knows, when he is lying down;‘I am lying down’;

or just as his body is disposed;  so he knows it.

Here’s how you can practice walking meditation:

1. Find an unobstructed space where you can walk for about ten feet.  You can choose indoors or outdoors, but we strongly recommend the outdoors as practicing mindful walking outdoors helps you connect with the natural world. We also suggest you walk bare feet.

2. Focus on your feet. Bring you complete awareness on the feet and notice the sensations here.

3. Now shift your weight from your left leg to your right leg. Do this slowly and be mindful of it.

4. Lift your head, look straight ahead, and hold your chest high. 

5. Now start walking. Extend the right leg forward and notice the weight redistribution. As the weight shifts forward, notice how the heel of your left leg begins to lift. Swing the left leg forward and repeat.

6. Come to a complete stop and take a deep breath. Turn around and repeat steps 1 - 5. 

Like any other mindfulness meditation practice, it is common for our minds to be distracted. Don’t worry when this happens. Just label these thoughts and move on. 

To learn more about mindful walking, refer to this guide and infographic by Soulful Arogya.

It doesn’t matter how many times you fail. It doesn’t matter how many times you almost get it right. No one is going to know or care about your failures, and neither should you. All you have to do is learn from them and those around you because all that matters in business is that you get it right once. Then everyone can tell you how lucky you are.
