Rankings Up instantly after publishing new blog article
-
Hello All,
My question is, why did my site rankings go up all of a sudden as soon as I published an article in my blog and it gets indexed (almost immidiately)
The rankings increase are the following
Keyword 1: from Top 5 to Top 1
Keyword 2: from Top 4 to Top 2
Keyword 3: from Top 16 to Top 3
Keyword 4: from no where to Page 2 (big time keyword)
Any ideas or experience on this?
When it first happened early this week(i published a new article), my site rankings dropped back after a couple of days. I did the same pattern by pubishing a new article and it went back up again. No personalized result here btw.
Thank you

Thanks. And yes, as I have mentioned its not personalized

Thanks Dana, glad I am not alone on this. It's a really bizzare situation. Does your blog have a lot of posts? 50 or more in total? Are your blog topics relevant to the keywords that are increasing in rankings?
Thanks

We have a blog on our main Website. Every time we publish a blog article, a very similar scenario plays itself out. Out CEO's conclusion? "Google Love's Blogs!" So we are trying to blog about every new product etc.
You are right too, in a week or so, our rankings drop back down after the post has been out for a week or so.
Lesson" Write a blog post about every single one of your products every single week!
Right. Not realistic.
I don't really know how to ring this bell. Maybe that's Google's reason for valuing posts like these so highly...because really, no one's going to publish a new blog post every week about every single one of their products.
Or are they????

Louie, are you sure you are not seeing personalized search results ?
I would suggest using Incognito/Private browsing and/or clear your cookies. Also use the Search Tools option at Google.com and change your zip code to a random city and then recheck your rankings.
If you are still on top of the SERPS, good. Congratulations. Google usually likes fresh content and sometimes it can have effects like these. Content is King = Almost all the time

Maybe it depends on the authority of blog/website you are adding your content on!

How does putting a trial sign up code mid-blog post effect SEO? Do you think it will make my content seem less pleasing, therefor decrease the page rank??
I'm working on driving trials for our product - we have a number of blog posts that rank on page #1 of Google, and we get 2-3 trial sign ups per day from them. I'd like to put trial signup boxes about midway down each post to see if I can increase the number of trial signups that come directly from our blog. Do you think I can be "penalized" for this, since it's mid- blog-post content? Do you think Google will view this negatively?

Hi guys, I own a London based rubbish removal company, but don't have enough jobs. I know for sure that some of my competitors get most of their jobs trough Google searches.

Can you please tell me how to rank my website on keywords like: "rubbish removal london", "waste clearance london", "junk collection london" and other similar keywords? I know that for person like me (without much experience in online marketing) will be difficult task to optimize the website, but at least - I need some advices from where to start.

I will appreciate all advices.

Rankings going down down down
Hi guys, I know this is a little open ended, but any advice/ideas would be greatly appreciated. I launched a new site about 3 months ago (www.transfersandshuttles.co.za). I have had unique, useful articles written for it, and the site does provide a useful service. I have done a little link building and continue to do so. The site was making decent progress moving up the rankings for a few weeks, but now it just seems to get worse and worse.

New Site: Use Aged Domain Name or Buy New Domain Name?
Hi,
Intermediate & Advanced SEO | | peterwhitewebdesign
I have the opportunity to build a new website and use a domain name that is older than 5 years or buy a new domain name. The aged domain name is a .net and includes a keyword.
The new domain would include the same keyword as well as the U.S. state abbreviation. Which one would you use and why? Thanks for your help!0 -
