the crowd because of the competition.<\/p>\n<h3>Focus on keywords that are highly relevant to the site<\/h3>\n<p>Also<strong>Only keywords that are highly relevant to the site<\/strong>Let's narrow it

that genre\u2014such as \u201ctravel in Greece\u201d\u2014just to increase traffic.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>As for Google's algorithm,<strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\"Expertise\"<\/span>is an important indicator<\/strong>It is said that...<\/p>\n<p>In other words<strong>If the scope of the content becomes too broad, ratings may drop, and conversely, there is a possibility that overall
