When choosing the right font you need to ensure it is easy to read as the more readable your content is the chance of your website becoming more popular increases. 

Internal links

It is known that longer blog posts tend to perform better in search engines yet shorter posts have known to rank well. The important factor to take into consideration is the quality of content, not the quantity. This is because there are lots of different blog posts online that are talking about the same subject so the main goal is for your post to be the most popular. Ultimately, better quality content will attract more readers and natural links!
