What is the 80/20 rule of SEO?
The 80/20 rule of SEO means few actions drive most results. Usually, a small set of pages, queries, and fixes produces most of the traffic gain. That often means tightening titles and internal links, improving pages already near page one on google.com.au, and removing thin content.
