Following on from the two significant recent changes, and some other SEO work done, it is time to look at the rankings again. Also, I have let my ad run down again as most of the content has been amended, and my content is ranking reasonably well.<\/p>\n

All of the engines in question now have updated the 37prime content. Interestingly, Google was almost immediate. Ask refreshed the content two days ago, and Bing\/Yahoo! updated today. It has taken around the same amount of time to de-rank the now defunct Skype forum that also had the stolen identity related content (including some slanderous remarks). Google did take longer to de-rank than to refresh content, but the timing of the other two engines was concurrent with refreshing the content. Duckduckgo is still draging the chain on the content update.<\/p>\n

www.google.com.au<\/a><\/p>\n

Page 1: bad results at #5 (abandoned blog) (#7 is updated 37prime) (out of 10)<\/p>\n

Page 2: none<\/p>\n

Page 3: #6 (abandoned blog again)<\/p>\n

au.yahoo.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Page 1: none (out of 10) see bing below for more details<\/p>\n

Page 2: #9<\/p>\n

Page 3: #3<\/p>\n

www.bing.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Page 1: none (out of 10) – #9 is the updated 37prime content<\/p>\n

Page 2: #9 (this is the abandoned blog)<\/p>\n

Page 3: #3 (same blog – it is indexed multiple times because the same story can be linked to via different URLs based on the article tags. This phenomenon held true for the 37prime blog as well; the permalink and the archive both showed up)<\/p>\n

www.ask.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Page 1: #1 (the abandoned blog) (#5 is the updated 37prime post)<\/p>\n

Page 2: #5 (same abandoned blog, through permalink)<\/p>\n

Page 3: none!<\/p>\n

duckduckgo.com<\/a><\/p>\n

One continuous page: result #4 (37prime), 9 (Skype forum), 11 (abandoned blog) out of a total of 33 results. It looked rather different earlier this morning – 31 results, and the content had been updated, so their sources and algorithms appear to change.<\/p>\n

So in summary, my SEO changes seem to have had some positive results for me on Bing\/Yahoo! but haven’t made any difference to Google. Ask was slightly worse, and DuckDuckGo is a mixed bag. I will keep monitoring as I do want to de-rank the abandoned blog, as well as see what is happening on DuckDuckGo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
