Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hey thanks Moosa.

Hello Devanur,

Thanks for the prompt reply. Never knew that http & https would be so much of a trouble. Will get this one resolved. Btw, I just wanted to know whether after making this changes (https to http) will the link value be passed/ redirected from https to http or will I have loose the entire effort made on https pages? Thanks again. Awaiting your reply

Hi Moosa & Devanur,

Thanks for your responses. However, I would like to know some more information on my 1st query

After making the necessary changes to our web pages, how long will it usually take to rank for particular keyword/ keywords (Assuming we have optimized these pages, as per the requirement). I read in some websites, that it will take minimum of 1 month, after the indexing is done. Is this really true or a myth? What have been your experiences?

P.S: I'm unable to see my url for any of my keywords yet  (Not even in the last page too)

Hi...I am a newbie & trying to optimize the website www.peprismine.com. I have 3 questions -

A little background about this : Initially, close to 150 pages were indexed by google. However, we decided to remove close to 100 URLs (as they were quite similar). After the changes, we submitted the NEW sitemap (with close to 50 pages) & google has indexed those URLs in sitemap.

1. My pages were indexed by google few days back. How long does google take to display the URL in SERP once the pages get indexed ?

2. Does google give more preference to websites with more number of pages than those with lesser number of pages to display results in SERP (I have just 50 pages). Does the NUMBER of pages really matter ?

3. Does removal / change of URLs have any negative effect on ranking ? (Many of these URLs were not shown on the 1st page)

An answer from SEO experts will be highly appreciated. Thnx !
