Forum Moderators: open
I went live with a site late in the evening of July 9, PDT, and as of this morning, 7:30 AM, July 11, the site is indexed and ranking very well for all my targeted keywords. That's happened consistently lately, and the sites haven't fallen out to reappear again later.
This is getting good.
Put that another way... could those initial SERP's change significantly because algo factors relating to backlinks have not been applied to them yet? (I'm ignoring other filters for the purpose of this exercise)
If a new site appears in the index at #87 then there is a natural inclination to start looking for problem areas... but if the backlinks have not been taken into account, then that result could be misleading. That remedial work may not be necessary at all.
Of course the reverse also applies when the site starts at top 10 and drops out of sight when the backlinks are factored in.
