The age of an indexed page's effect on short-term SERP mobility
- SEO |
Three of these were for pages that have existed for over a year (with a 3rd or 4th page presence for each), and the other three were for newly created pages that are less than 3 days old.
I built the same amount of backlinks for each. To my surprise, the newest ones are all on the first page of google now less than 24 hours later. The older ones have moved to just a few spots higher on the 3rd or 4th page. All keywords are relatively similar in terms of competitiveness.
This makes me wonder if a newer link gets more of a benefit when it comes to the effect of link building. Maybe when G sees a newer page with so many backlinks, it figures the backlinks have to do with that page being "newsworthy" or hot in some other way.
Anyone else experience this? Is this a well known fact that I'm just discovering?
