On-Page SEO mainly deals with the way in which your content layout is seen by the crawlers of the search engines.
Within the on-page SEO, the title, Meta description and other factors are important. These allow the search engine crawlers to know the content of your page; therefore it will use those contents to show your site when individuals search for queries relating to them.
As google perfect its algorithm, so you too need to perfect your content structure in order to rank well in search engine result pages.
Another key point when perfecting your on-page SEO is not to stuff your content with your keyword. Your keywords are to be use strategically on the content.
Off-Page SEO is that type that deals with the amount of backlinks pointing to your website; or any of your website pages. It works like a voting system. To emphasize on this, google will see your content as a valuable one when another website refer to it. For every backlink to your site, you get vote or point that will increase your ranking.
Remember, not all backlinks carry similar effect when they point to your site. Some backlinks will pass high level backlink juice to your page, while others will make no effect. The reason for this is that google believe that by your site getting a backlink from an authoritative site, your website will be a valuable for that specific search phrases.
In addition, the anchor text used in linking to your site matters. If a specific anchor text is used to link to your site, your site will be considered to be ranked for that keyword phrase use.
To me, this is the most important of SEO that you give more attention to. It carries a lot of weight that will help you with your ranking and website visibility.
Technical SEO is more all less telling you that you should keep your site in shape. That is to say, maintain your site and its content properly.
With technical SEO, you should be more concerned about any form of errors that may occur when a visitor visit your site. In other words, avoid having error pages; also, redirect any page that is not working properly.
Doing this properly will give your site a better chance to rank well.
