Difference in Serp updates
-
I've notice that the Serp for some keywords are updated more frequently then others (or am I mistaken?)
Do any of you have any data that might support that theory? what seems to be the longest periode it takes for a SERP to update for a certain keyword?
Is there any rules of thumps on this matter?
-
Well the specific keyword that I am targeting has a difficulty score of 48 and the other pages are not updated frequently, To me honest I doubt that they are updated more then a few times a year.
I know this is a minor issue and I was just curios to hear, what other people had noticed about the update frequency of certain niche keywords.
But what I get from your post is that, some keywords are updated withing a few hours and some withing a month. Is there any rare cases in you opinion that might take even longer then that?

HI Justian,
There's no definitive answer on this one as it really depends on a lot of things, how many sites are changing their content for this specific content, what did the current top 100 pages change on their pages and what's the overal competition on the keyword.
For some keywords it could be that the serp changes within a day but sometimes for long tail keywords it could also take weeks to see effects for the work you've done.

Coworker and I see totally different keyword volumes on same paid keyword planner account
My coworker and I are both connected to the same company's paid keyword planner account but are using our own individual google accounts to log in. When I look up the keyword "joint bank account" I get a search volume of 9,900, while she gets a search volume of 2,900. Does anyone know why this might be? Do we know which might be more accurate? This doesn't seem to be connected to Google lumping semantic variations together. I've seen it happen way before that update. It's hindering our headline pitching since the volume she sees does not meet our minimum search threshold. Any insight would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Laira

No SERPs contains my keyword phrase
Hi! I have a question that is the best described by an concrete example: When I use Google UK and search for a keyword "wood floor" why the top 100 search results show pages for "wood flooring" instead? Is it because that keyword is simply more popular and pages are in general better optimized for "flooring"?

Very different SERP Results
Hi there, I am having some big issues when it comes to getting accurate SERP results for a client http://www.airandice.com.au/ The keyword in question is "air conditioning installation" Moz is giving me a result of 47 Incognito chrome is giving me anywhere between 8-12. Same when I changed it to Australia search as well. Firefox is giving me 8. Incognito is >100 Now my workmate who is next to me, same network and setup and he is seeing Incognito Chrome - 54 Firefox Incognito - 8 And a third computer in the office on a different network is throwing out different results again. This is real confusing as I can't get a clear idea of where this keyword is situated. Results are varying from 8 - >100 Has anyone else seen or had this problem? It is a 1st for me. I know that keywords fluctuate each time they are searched but this is a huge fluctuation.

3 monitoring tools are giving me the simular SERP ranking position but manual searching and traffic are telling me something different. What gives?
I have looked up SERP position in 4 different tools, 3 out of the 4 (Raven, SEO Moz, and Google webmaster tools) are telling me that the site is ranking in the 90s range. When I manually search for the term (when I'm logged out), the site lists on the 1st pages. I also see it listed as the #9 spot when I use SEO Books Rank Checker. Last month, Google webmaster says that the term got us 200 impressions. Has anyone seen this before? Thanks

Google Keyword tool data + No. 1 Serp rank =/= to taffic on landing page
So a keyword we are targeting "painted bedroom furniture" google keyword tool says gets 480 exact local searches (and 880 broad), and in the same local google we have ranked 1st for months (and currently we are 2nd and 3rd too), but looking at the google analytics that landing page has only gotten 78 unique page views from searches and only 21 from "painted bedroom furniture" . (the 2nd link gets 12 page views and the 3rd gets none, from that keyword) Now for me that does not make sense! For other keyword which we rank No.1 the keyword data and analytics generally match/make sense. Is there something I'm missing?

Google SERPS for similar Keywords?
I have website which is being listed for a keyword which is not in the site. It seems that google is using a Thesaurus to find words with similar meaning. Is this right? How could this be used for SEO purposes?
