SEO - How long it really take to rank?


SEO - Search Engine Optimization

Optimizing a website takes time.

         Even with professional help and top-notch tactics, it takes time.  Of course there are those who will promise results quicker, those who say they can get you to number 1, or that they can get you high ranked within a few weeks. The truth is, this is just not how it works. Results take time, especially if you are the new kid on the SEO block.
         Building a high-ranking site through SEO means creating meaningful relationships and establishing a solid reputation. Rankings with Google or any other search engine means creating trust. …creating unique compelling content ….creating keyword rich content relevant to that page and so much more.
         On-the-level SEO professionals using white hat marketing techniques should bring your site success based more or less on the following timeline:

First Month

You contact someone with the SEO marketing know-how to design your SEO strategy. They utilize as many SEO techniques as they know and develop a strategy based on your site and vertical. Your page is released, with its SEO strategies in place, and your site begins to be cached by Google. The caching process should take between 4-6 weeks on average. 

Next 2 to 3 Months

You continue to add fresh unique content and new pages on your web site, including calls to action, new headlines from your RSS feed. You consider building a keyword-rich blog to increase your new content, RSS feeds, and keyword opportunities.

Next 6 Months

All of your pages are completely indexed by Google and other search engines, and the sites will now be determining your semi-permanent ranking. Your ranking will continue to slowly climb as you continue adding increasing amounts of new content and by increasing the quality of that content. Your back-linking strategy should also be improving steadily.

Next 2 Months to 24 Months

Your traffic will be at full throttle and your page rank should be quite high. You will be figuring little ways to tweak your site and improve your content in order to rise up a few spots to the very top.

Remember with SEO your rankings will constantly be shifting up and down because you are competing with all of the other web sites out there that are also trying to gain top rankings for the same keywords as you are, so the more often you add fresh new content to your web site the more often your sites rankings will shift …and the goal is for the better!
