Time is a key factor in improving a website’s organic rankings. This most common question I have received an seo is how long shoul I wait to start seeing results? This article is dedicated to anyone who has ever asked that question.
It doesn’t matter what industry you are involved in, or what techniques you follow, in all cases you will be a prisoner of time. In the vast majority of cases search engine rankings don’t come over night.
You will still have to wait for those results, it doesn’t matter if you are undertaking a massive link building & social media campaign combined with extreme content development. Just how long you need to wait however, will depend on a large number of factors.
How long it will take for rankings starts with a few key factors.
Opening a website that blocks search engine spiders and has never been optimized might end in a fast turn around for results.
If your website has been on the web for some time and still have no links, you will have to wait some extra time. If you already have some links, Google will probably be in to check out things within a week.
Add waiting time if you have a brand new site. Google may find you, but probably not. Waiting for the net to catch up to you will not get your site indexed. To make sure your site gets viewed and cataloged, score a few links and make an XML sitemap.
Determine how flexible any content management system is prior to using one for your website. It can drastically slow down your ranking progress if it not allows SEO based changes.
A more competitive target phrase means that you will need more fresh content, pages, links, and patience. The selection of the target phrase that has seraches, but modest competition is your best choice to get started. You can go after the bigger fish once your site has some links.
Take a look at the top 10 sites for your target phrase. If on average the ranking sites have 10,000 inbound links and 1000 plus pages, and your site has 7 links and 12 pages, you’re likely doomed. If the top 10 is littered with all the big guys like Amazon, eBay, and the dreaded Wikipedia, you might just want to consider reevaluating your goals.
If your site is not in a comparable position with the rest of the top 10 then you need to either step up your efforts in order to compete, or plan on waiting a very long time.
