All webpages have (H1 - H6) tags and can be assigns a font and font-size to help you out. These headings also help readers and search engines understand the flow of your content on your webpage. See the example below:
(h1)PLANETS

8. Internal Links
If you aren't talking about your best content, why should anyone else care? For this reason, it's important that your best SEO content be linked to internally by other pages on your website.
9. External Links
External links are links from websites other than your own. Google relies heavily on external links to determine how good a post is. And this makes sense, doesn't it? You can talk about yourself and your own skills all day long, but no one will believe you. But as soon as other people begin bragging about you, others take notice.
