The LMNHP approach is now being applied in all four SMM blogs and the keyword query SEO rankings are being monitored. Higher rankings are being seen and are maintained even after individual posts are no longer on the blog ‘front page.
As an additional test, blog posts on somewhat competitive topics are being issued to see how well the posts can outshine their competition. As an example, Google Maps is finally showing the Golden Ears Bridge in British Columbia, which is extremely tardy performance. A post was written on The Other Bloke’s Blog entitled Golden Ears Bridge BC now on Google Maps.
At the time of the launch, a search for ‘Golden Ears Bridge BC’ showed the following results:
This includes some real heavyweight opposition. Wikipedia seems to have a special Google relationship, Translink the owner of the Golden Ears Bridge has a PR7 website and Google has a PR10 website.
Some 36 hours after the post had been launched, here is what was appearing in the SERPs.
Thus we see that relatively quickly only the Wikipedia item is topping the new post item. The blog has two entries with the first shown as the domain URL but with the Title and the snippet reflecting the new individual blog post.
Now a new post has been added to the blog and is now the new ‘front page’. Again a relatively competitive topic is being covered: Online Business Coaches. It will be interesting to see how this post does against its own competition. At the same time we will observe how the post on the Golden Ears Bridge maintains its rankings in the SERPs once it is off the ‘front page’.
