Hi Everyone,
Google's ranking factors are plentiful and one of if not the most closely guarded secret of Google themselves. It is because these factors are kept a secret that no one is able to exploit them in order to tip the search results in their favor. Here are the various Google ranking factors to keep in mind :

1. Authority of Domain

2. External Link Anchor Text

3. Strength of External Links

4. On Page SEO/Keyword Usage

5. Social Search/Proof

6. Traffic + Bounce Rate

7. Registration/Hosting

8. Other Factors

There are dozens if not hundreds of other Google ranking factors. Some of these include the domain age of your site (a newer unproven site will be outranked by one which has been around for a few years), your website load time, how frequently you add new content, and a flat website architecture to name a few.
