Arbitrage Conspiracy Teaches Me A Valuable Lesson

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.

    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?

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