Which SEO factors are not in your control?

Backlink approval time is not in our control.

 

Most.
The goalpost is always moving.

 

For me Guest Posts as very rarely i get aproval and this are very important

 

All of these are under our control. We can improve them with quality content and backlinks.

 

Keyword ranking in not in our control.

 

Backlinks and posts approval time are not in our control.

 

Off-the page SEO is NOT under the control of Publishers directly.

For example-
1. Authority of your website.
2. Quality of your links
3. Engagements
4. SPAM
5. Reputations
6. Country etc

 

I think the biggest SEO factors that are not under your control are as follows :
1. The Authority of your website (DA, PA)
2. Engagements (depends on your content)
3. Page Rank (Alexa Ranking)
