February 2011 Google Ranking Changes

A lot of long tail and very niche keywords have jumped up… Not sure what else but there is a lot of flux happening.

Dance, baby dance! Hasn’t settled but a lot of complaints about some epic drops and removals.

Our long tail terms are flying up through the SERPs, our primary terms which we targeted have taken a hit, from positions 6,8 to about 20-30, and 300+… all different depending from which country we’re checking them.

Google Dance.. oooo… exciting.. but I wish I knew the outcome now.

I think now more than ever, long-tail will always produce better results because of a decrease in competition for those terms whereas the singular an popular terms are really difficult to make an impact with.

I always advise people who are in it for the long haul to go long-tail for a more stable outcome over time.

But yeah, this is one hell of a moonwalk so far ” title=”” class=”bbcode_smiley” />
