SEO Confusion

Written by Tevin on July 21, 2008 – 5:08 pm -

I don’t update here often, and as far as I’m aware, at the moment I have near zero readers. And that’s fine by me. I haven’t given up my goal, in fact I’m doing quite a bit. But as this blog doesn’t actually make any money, I don’t see a whole lot of reason to continue to update it regularly when I haven’t made any major breakthroughs. However, I do get a chance to try some SEO with this blog, because it does home SOME google authority.

So when I have ideas (such as the American Idol posts a while back, I can try them here without starting a whole new website. Which google doesn’t give much weight to) I just try them out here. I wanted to try ranking in google for “Traffic Secrets Review” with this blog. Not becuase I expect to sell a ton of Traffic Secrets courses, but I do like to try new ways of gaining search traffic, for my other sites. (Right now, I think I have about a dozen or so sites online)

So, now here’s where the confusion comes in. I wrote the article a few days ago, and I check the next day, it’s indexed on page 3 of google. “So Far So Good” I think. Now I just need to build some links to it, and maybe do a BMD run, and see where that gets me. So I put a “Traffic Secrets Review” blogroll link on about 3 of my blogs. Left a couple of comments linking directly to the article, and didn’t even do a BMD run.

So pretty natural, and not spammy at all. Then I wrote one more article with the purpose of getting more keyword authority, and then linking to the original article. Giving the article (with my affiliate link) more link juice.

I check the next day. DEINDEXED! What the fuck? This has happened to me before, I had instant indexing, and the next day I’m deindexed. But I hadn’t done any link building. So once I built some links, the article got reindexed.

But this time is different. This time my traffic secrets article got deindexed AFTER link building. But maybe it’s just not ENOUGH links? Maybe with this article and a BMD run, maybe I’ll get reindexed? IDK, I’ll report after I find out.

***sometimes google just baffles me***
