On Thursday in Free Traffic Tips, I talked a little bit about my view that Google has doubled their search index. I speculated about whether that would be a big deal to the average webmaster. Here’s what I’ve observed so far.
Google is now showing 8,900 pages of my site – so not just the html and php pages now, but many of the dynamic pages, which I typically don’t count as part of the site.
That’s as of this writing, we’ll see what happens next.
Several of my past clients are getting pre-Florida update type results, meaning the results they were attempting to get last year have returned. This is not a scientific survey, it’s just the result of feedback from people who happened to write me.
In my own searches, I haven’t seen any more spam results than I have in the past month before these changes went into effect.
Bloggers and people with RSS Feeds seem to be getting pages found faster. Again, unscientific results that are skewed due to feedback from people who have bought my book or otherwise elicited my help in this area. I don’t know if this is because of my help, or because they have a blog/feed.
So this is so far making me think of three areas to look into:
1- I’d like to study people who were dropped during last year’s Florida issue who were recently included again.
2- I’ll be looking for other people with popular or semi-popular sites, to find out if they got more deeply spidered recently though they haven’t made any particular changes.
3- I’m going increase the focus in my next volume on RSS to include case studies on people who has no attention from Yahoo and Google, and subsequent to blogging and using RSS, started getting better results, and compare them to the rate of people who have have just blogs, or neither blogs, nor RSS at their site.
I’ll let you know what I find out.
