There are many important factors to rank in Google. Though Google updates it's algorithm every year, few factors will always be important and worth considering.

Load Speed: No matter what, load speed of your website plays crucial role in rankings. If your web takes much time to load, then try to reduce it.

Backlinks: It's crucial ranking factor. It's major ranking factor and one must take care while dealing with backlinks. Keep these points in mind while making backlinks. Try to get backlinks from relevant niche sites, diversify anchors carefully. It's not about quantity, it's about quality. Try to get links from authority sites and also small sites which are having minimum organic traffic.

Content: Content is King. Many people say it's a myth, you can rank with copied content as well. Speaking honestly, you might rank temporarily, but in long run, it's difficult to scale up with copied/spinned content. So i suggest you to write lengthy and engaging content.

Social Signals: Social Signals helps to improve the trust of your blog. Google observes how users are engaging to your content on social networking sites. (This is the reason why big sites won't get affect in Google updates)* *personal observation not mentioned anywhere!
