Facing the same issue. My website is almost new, and after completing its on-page SEO, I started its off-page SEO recently.

Spam can hurt your Google rating instead focus on high quality content stay away from cluttering your site with keywords, and disavow any bad backlinks.

If you're looking to improve your website's Google ranking while minimizing spam, here are some tips to consider:High-Quality Content: Create high-quality, relevant, and informative content that genuinely serves your target audience. Google's algorithms prioritize content that provides value to users.
Keyword Optimization: Use relevant keywords naturally in your content, title tags, meta descriptions, and headers. Avoid keyword stuffing, which can be seen as spammy.
Mobile Optimization: Ensure your website is mobile-friendly, as Google gives preference to mobile-responsive websites in its rankings.
Page Speed: Improve your website's loading speed. Slow-loading websites can result in a poor user experience and lower rankings.
User Experience (UX): Focus on delivering a great user experience. Easy navigation, clear calls-to-action, and a clean design can improve user satisfaction, which can positively affect your ranking.
Quality Backlinks: Build high-quality, natural backlinks from reputable websites. Avoid spammy or low-quality link-building tactics, as they can harm your rankings.
Remember that improving your Google ranking is an ongoing process, and it may take time to see significant results. I apply all these techniques on my website to avoid any spam thing. Always focus on providing a valuable and user-friendly experience, and avoid any spammy tactics that could harm your ranking in the long run.

Reputable Place For Guest Posts
We do our SEO in-house, and I don't have the time for blogger outreach. Does anyone know of a reputable place where I can submit our content to be pitched to relevant outlets for backlinks and US traffic? I am not in it for someone creating our content; I write it myself and have a degree in the content I produce. I am looking for a place that gets REAL US traffic, not some P.B.N. sites or those where I can create accounts at a post myself. I want real traffic from relevant, reputable blogs or a place where I can have them use my content and find niche sites for me.

Google doesn't show my Twitter account
Hello, my full name is Timo Rossa and my Twitter (X) account is @TimoRossa. If I search for my name with "Timo Rossa" on Google, it doesn't find any results referencing my Twitter account. It is very important for me that Google does not only show Twitter results for my name but also that those results would be ranked at the top. The only reason I could come up with is that my account name has not separated words. Does this make sense? What would be a simple strategy to achieve my goal? Thank you!

English pages given preference over local language
We recently launched a new design of our website and for SEO purposes we decided to have our website both in English and in Dutch. However, when I look at the rankings in MOZ for many of our keywords, it seems the English pages are being preferred over the Dutch ones. That never used to be the case when we had our website in the old design. It mainly is for pages that have an English keyword attached to them, but even then the Dutch page would just rank. I'm trying to figure out why English pages are being preferred now and whether that could actually damage our rankings, as search engines would prefer copy in the local language. An example is this page: https://www.bluebillywig.com/nl/html5-video-player/ for the keywords "HTML5 player" and "HTML5 video player".

Will skipping <H> tags affect your SEO?
Will skipping <H> tags on a page have any impact on your SEO, e.g. skipping a <H2> so your page has a <H1> and then goes to a <H3>? Obviously a page must have a <H1>, but does it matter if you skip other headings?
