Speed of Spidering Indexing and Ranking in 2010
My friends, I made a bit of a mistake end of December in thinking that the Google Caffeine update was going to finally stop new websites and new links from taking crazy time to be utilized… It seems Google promised and even thru various developers I spoke to had PLANNED on making full use of instant news-style spiderage.
However, that’s simply not the case. Even with breaking news, we discovered last year when Michael Jackson passed away on us that Google was unable to keep up offering real-time results in it’s searches for appropriate terms…
What’s the big mistake?
From all the technical information I recieved thru various sources, and a few tests of my own… I saw websites popping up in Google within hours. Sometimes within hours of registration and zero links and starting to show up and rank… However this was not an effect of Caffeine taking action. This was a mis-leading fluke in some very non-competitive industries.
Spidering Indexing & Ranking
For the last 6 years I’ve been able to stand firm on the fact that it took 90 days to see the full effect of your effort in SEO, and it looked like in 2010, that would all change (As it should!). However, at least with this update, I strongly believe that’s not going to happen.
I noticed with some client websites in competitive spaces that the link strategies we applied are only now starting to take effect that are from nearly 2 months before… It’s hard to tell clients that to their faces when they’re so money starved, so anxious to make a buck that these long term investments will pay off… And in the SEO world, it’s easy to become unsure yourself! – But they do pay off.
I made the mistake of second guessing myself on that fact, and there are some general old-school strategies that are still getting results in low-lying markets and they will have a blip-on-the-radar effect on competitive markets… So it’s not without reason.
Anyway, enough ranting. Enjoy your day!
Rest assured that if your selling SEO even if you (By total fluke) see a bump in traffic in under 90 days it’s probably not intentional or should be expected…
