As we all know search engines are always looking for fresh and unique
content all over the web and the main source for them for new content are blogs. This is the reason Blogging platforms like wordpress has always been apple’s eye for search engines.
By the way today topic is “How much time it takes for Google to cache and rank a web page”
For the purpose I have done an experiment and I want to share the results with you all.
I have a health related blog, providing information on skin care. So let’s begin how it all happened.
1. Chosen a two word phrase keyword, which roughly gets 4200 searches a month and has a competition of 1883000 in Google and 15150 while searching with quotes.
2. Wrote an article of 550 words and posted on my blog.
3. Submitted the link to digg.com
After 5 minutes when I checked, I saw that the article was cached by Google. Then I checked the ranking of the post for the keyword and I was amazed to see that the articles was ranking on number 7 on the first page and the digg.com listing was ranking on number 4.
I knew that this was just a temporary ranking and it will come down. So next day I have done around 25 Social Bookmarking of the blog post and again checked the ranking few hours later, the articles was ranking on number 24 (on the third page). After that I have left it as it is and now after a week the blog post have gained a stable ranking on the second page of Google on number 14.
I have decided to do some blog comments for it and then observe its effect on ranking.
I will update you all with the results.
Do you all have done any such experiments, if yes please share with us all.
