I couldn’t agree more with the importance of age in relation to SEO. My experience shows that older domains maintain SERP positions easily whereas brand new domains slip in the SERP’s or go into the Sandbox!

Hey Andrew
Thanks for the lead for the seomoz info.
I agree with first comment about is it
a art or science. I think it’s a little of both,
it just depends on your content and where your going with your site

Thanks

Thanks for alerting me to the seomoz discussion. There’s a lot of food for thought there and lots of wriggle room too.

Not surprised by the factors I’ve seen like title tag, nervous about the time a visitor spends…you could spend your whole life worrying about this stuff.

Best to create a good enough site and then market energetically!

All The Best

I agree about the title thing. It just makes sense doesn’t it. I have found that it is very easy to forget how specific and targeted the keyword focus in titles, headlines, text should be.

In recent tests where I re-focused keyword targeting for a number of sites I found…

1. Almost immediate jumps in Google SERP positioning for most.
2. One old site has still not cracked through (so there are other factors)
3. One site lost ranking – because, I assume, I did a more radical re-focusing, and has slowly started to gain ranking for the newly focused keyword.

From this last example I concluded that making changes too quickly can have a serious negative effect. This confirms what SEOs have been saying for years.

Wow. Fantastic info. I spent at least an hour looking through all of the rankings. The most fascinating part – at least to me – is how some experts agreed wholeheartedly on some issues, while on other issues they were split. Just goes to show how SEO still falls into the “art” category rather than the “science” category. Thanks Andrew.
