She's moving around again

our lost pages are climbing back into the rankings

[nevetS]

for the keywords I'm most interested in, I've been tracking things on the digital point tool since about three days before austin.

I noticed today that one of my competitors had climbed into the top 50 in one keyword that we had both been in the top 10 for and had been dropped. I ran a manual query, and lo and behold, myself and the other people I've been tracking had all made it back into the serps (of five websites I'm tracking). Granted, not near a top 10 listing, but climbing back in the race.

Another one where I had number 1 listing is back in there at around 140 or so.

It gives me hope!

would you mind sharing what you've changed?

[nevetS]

I've been making small updates - just getting rid of useless info, updating info as necessary, etc. - just normal webmastering stuff. I've been worried about any heavy duty SEO changes because I don't want to lose my inktomi listings too.

I have added a fairly significant amount of content to the site, but my neighboring competitors haven't done the same and they seem to be in as good or better shape than me.

I've picked up maybe another 5 or 10 inbound links, but again, nothing significant.

nevetS, what is the 'digital point tool' you're referring to? (just did a site search, but nothing came up...)

I was just wondering the same thing. BTW I am seeing significant movement for some queries, but little or none for others.

A couple of my sites have started climbing in areas taken out by Florida/Austin too.

would you mind sharing what you've changed?

Absolutely nothing. The quality of the SERPs in question has gone downhill over the last couple of months ... I was confident that Google would do something to improve them at some point :)

it's a free keyword tracker that uses the google api.

If you search for digital point keyword tracker I'm sure you'll find it quickly.

I'd post a url, but I'm pretty sure I'm not supposed to.
