Posted by katemorris Editor's note: This post first appeared in April of 2017, but because SEO (and Google) changes so quickly, we figured it was time for a refresh! Meta tags represent the beginning of most SEO training, for better or for worse. I contemplated exactly how to introduce this topic because we always hear about the bad side of meta tags — namely, the keywords meta tag.

Hotel panels, in and of themselves, are enough to make one squeal, but even on a more “typical” GPB, it’s easy to overlook some low-lying features.

What percentage of your search traffic is driven by your top 10 pages? Chances are, it’s a large portion. Just look at the screenshot below. You’ll see that my top 10 pages drive 28.7% of my search traffic. That may not seem like a high number, but I have 5,441 blog posts. In other words, 0.1% of my pages make up 28.7% of my search traffic. Typically, with smaller sites, the percentages are much higher in which the top 10 pages make up the majority of their search traffic.
