Arbitrage Conspiracy Teaches Me A Valuable Lesson

[Derek_The_Nomad]

Yesterday I made a post on my blog about the Arbitrage Conspiracy. It wasn't a big post, or a review really, just a short thought about the product launch.

When I checked my Google Analytics account this morning, it showed that I had gotten several visitors who searched for arbitrage conspiracy un-quoted. So I started to look for my blog in Google using this search term. I gave up after 25 pages.

What this tells me: people will go a long, long way looking for real, no-hype, information.

Food for thought.

True. I've been known to go 30 pages deep into Google to try to find out something about a product that wasn't written by an affiliate.

30 pages deep into Google? I'm really surprised about that a great to learn that some people to that, I never would.

The best of my blog was found at page 24! Shame on me. I even bought a product here for SEO. Time is hard. Guess what I asked Father X'mas for? Not telling you.

Hi Derek,

I presume you checked their locations to make sure they are using the same country specific SE as yourself?

It's not entirely correct to come to this conclusion because your rankings can jump around.

And you made the post yesterday - new posts often hit the SERPS high and then descend, the same as a site does when you launch it. I would assume that the SEs like to send a trickle of traffic to sites/posts to see how the searcher behaves in order to help establish it's relevance.

Therefore I would wager that it's more than likely that they didn't search that deep after all.

Hope this helps.
