Number of Google Search Results Shrinking
- SEO |
I have been monitoring a situation concerning Google for a little while now. On November 21st 2014 I typed in a particular search phrase in quotation marks in Google and 1,060,000 search results came back. After about a month on December 29th there were only 855,000 results. Just a day later on December 30th the search results dropped by more than 20,000 to 832,000. On December 31st the figure stood at 778,000.
To make things even more interesting, my country's version of Google (TT) had 10,000 more search results on December 31st for that term than the regular Google (dot com). Finally today January 2nd 2015 the search result figures stands at 522,000 on both the dot com and dot tt version of Google. That is a difference of almost 500,000 in a little over one month! It appears yet again that Google is not giving all the search results at any one time unless sites are expiring that fast without being renewed. What is your take on this because potentially it has a great impact on how one approaches SEO?

If you were disappointed in your results today, lower your standards tomorrow.
