I just want to know because I want to Make sure that you guys can review Everything if you have questions on YouTube is it possible to go from dl0 to Dr-40 in three to four months yes it is But it’s it’s a lot of link building I Am going to do Q&A at the end by the way So if you have any questions about the Posts or something else you can drop Them in the chat right now and I will be Reviewing all the questions but kind of Like wanna go through the agenda first For the people that came for that and Then after that if you want to stay then Out of the Q&A so that is what we’re Gonna do we are starting in 30 seconds Okay okay I’m gonna start actually so First of all how do you get access to The new blog post so that we can talk About the same thing here We’re gonna talk about this new blog Post you just read so I’m going to Switch to my browser view here and the Way you see it is simply you click on The little bit here on the hacker and Here this is our featured post but then The second one is the new post so you Click here suppose that I did not write It suppose that Misha wrote I did edit It quite heavily to be frank So I got Co involved in this but I did Not write this post so we’re still gonna Talk about the data and all that stuff And yeah so this first thought was the
Beginning of the first where we Essentially get that question all that I Mean people are asking this question all The freaking time on all the Facebook Groups like how long does it take to Rank etc and I think that the first Thing I will start the stream with is The ranking is almost never a factor of Time if the New York time was launching A new website today and they were able To use the power of the New York time to Reach out to all the sites that they can Get links from this site would rank Really really quickly like in a matter Of weeks it would probably rank for very Competitive queries Whereas if you’re nobody and you’re Starting to launch your website and you Have no way to acquire the links etc Then it’s going to be quite difficult It’s gonna take you a long time to rank For competitive queries so that question How long does it take to rank is a Question a lot of people ask which is Why we wrote this blog post we do SEO Right we’re trying to rank for a query But at the same time I think it’s kind Of like the same question as if you Exercise like people go to the gym for The first time and they’re asking oh how Long is this gonna take for me to be big And have muscles well if you don’t Workout never and if you do stuff then Depending on what you did the result is
Going to vary well the answer on how Long does it take to rank is very very Similar to how long does it take to grow Muscles actually I have a bit of an OCD Here I’m just gonna fix this trim a Little bit because yeah sorry just a Little bit OC so yeah it’s going to vary Massively on what you do and I think a Lot of beginners Making that mistake of thinking that it Is a function of time it’s not a Function of time it’s a function of like How much you can get done and the Data is going to back that off actually As we go through this right so before we Actually jump into our blogpost I want To jump into a Travis blog post and we Gave them a ring by the way because they Actually did a blog post about this in 2017 actually Tim did it at the time When Tim was still writing for the blog He did that and there was so many Interesting stuff in the a Travis blog Post the first thing that was quite Interesting is that most pages on page One were three plus years old right and I mean you see the number of days right 365 is one year so you can see like Number one average is almost like 950 Days which is yeah like a little bit Under three years and then you can see Decreases a little bit as you go down in Rankings but overall it’s not a lot of New pages on page one and and something
That is the first thought that H has Found a new C that we confirmed that Data without stuff actually the second Thing that I wanted to talk about was That it seemed like domain writing Domain Authority essentially mattered When it came to getting rankings and I Think it’s it’s quite important so Basically that’s why you want to get you Higher up in your page and that’s kind Of like what magical authority mode it’s When you publish a new stuff starts Ranking without you really trying to do Anything just it happens if the pages Will optimize you and up ranking and Essentially that’s what HS is showing These guys like well the higher you D Are the more pages you will get in the Top ten within the first year of the Page being published so the loggia pool Had only three percent of their new Pages showing up on page one essentially While the hydeia pool had ten percent of Their pages showing up on page one and That’s why when you get a fair amount of Authority I mean strike actually I get a Bit of a frame drop I think so let me Just check that I think it’s Facebook Actually oh we’re back we’re back okay So if you have a fair amount of Authority essentially that’s why Matt’s A sir and we do As well as outside that get over 60 D’art types in its publisher lot because
It becomes a number game but when 10% of Your page is hit page one within one Year without you really trying then Usually that page makes more than you Know The money of the pages that don’t end up Breaking on page one and so the game When you have a high authority site is To publish a lot which is essentially The whole game behind the authority Sites other it’s nice to see that Confirm with the data that if you build Up your dr you will rank higher faster Without actually trying let me just take My notes one thing that was interesting As well to me is this graph here so they Essentially show you how many days for The 5.7 percent of pages that ended up Ranking on page one was in the year how Much time did it take and what was Interesting is like you would expect That it would be a function of time were The like this three hundred and five to Twenty five days so like this section Here would actually be the one that has The most pages because they had the most Time right so you would matter if time Is a function then normally that section Should be the highest then Second-highest at highest for size two Ties and first right that’s not the case Actually and I think this graph confirms The ranking is not a function of time it Shows you that actually the pages that
Ended up ranking on page one were pages That they ended up ranking within Essentially two to six months two to six Months seems to be the sweet spot if Your page hasn’t made it on page one by That time the chance is to get on page One is actually fairly low even if you Hide your site it’s only like six Percent and six point seven percent so It’s really not a lot at the book of the Pages you can see like four or five six So it’s basically 70% of pages making on Page one between day 60 and the 182 so Between months to and month six which to Me was quite interesting and I think Proved the fact that it’s not a linear Function of time otherwise this is not What this graph would look like which Was quite interesting for me and then The interesting thing actually was when You check the ranking per for sorry yeah This is this one we check the ranking Performance of the pages essentially Most of the pages are end Ranking on page one they were ranking For the volume keywords they were like Local MP was less than 1000 searches per Month and then even for the higher Tory Like for everyone like the if you want To rank for BQ essentially it’s almost Impossible to rank within one year even If you do really well and I think it’s Possible like one thing to remember is That all these tests that you’re seeing
Is just like a tree of scraping data and What that means is that it’s including Sites that do good SEO but it’s also Including sites that I’m not even trying They’re just kind of ranking because the High authority or whatever and I think That works pretty well for them and so As a result I think by doing good as you You can skew this data even if it’s 0.3% If you’re good SEO ranking for a high Volume difficult keyword within a year I I don’t personally if I was looking at That keyword and taking care of it it Would be a lot higher than 0.3% it would Probably be like twenty five to forty Percent maybe so if you do a good job at SEO and if you get links and if you Understand the metrics that you need to Welcome you can skew this data but these Are the averages basically so that was Quite interesting to me I think that’s That’s most of what I wanted to Highlight from this post before I jump Into ours because we will see what gets Confirmed and what gets not so confirmed From the data we’ve done so let me check My notes Yes so I’m gonna skip the TLDR because Essentially it is useful if you are not Reading this but we’re like going Through this together Basically so the first thing for a page To rank tanum is to be indexed in Google Right and if you’re a lot I decide it’s
Not that obvious especially if you don’t Have a sitemap submit II didn’t Google Webmasters come so something for us Every time we actually publish a page we Actually throw it in that box in Google Search console and then we’ll request Indexing basically so like if I take That URL for example let’s say pasted This and then if it would show me that It’s not on Google because that is Unlike a new URL if I just post it I Would just click on request indexing and Usually when we do that our content is Indexed within like three to five Minutes and actually often ranked on Page one doing that basically so the First thing you need to do is make sure That your content is indexed also there Are a lot of scrapers out these days so You need to be a little careful when you Publish new content if people are Scraping your site and bigoted sites are Creeping you’re scraping your site It’s rare but it’s happened that they Actually just stole the rankings from Websites so you need to be a little bit Careful of that so that’s the first Thing I would say you need to be you Need to be index basically and actually Let me actually go back a little bit Because I wanted to share something a Little bit off-topic but quite Interesting it’s um so for us the curve Of new post when we publish a new post
Is quite interesting like we talked at a Keyboard and then it often like does Really well right away so it’s like I’ve Actually done two case studies on Facebook you can follow me on Facebook By the way I do this kind of like case Studies before who follow me so I have Like some kind of like following thing And I do some public post etc and I did For two queries I did one in January 2006 2019 sorry for the google do Keyword Google freshness and initially You know it was ranking like bottom of Page one something like this and Basically as I force people to ask People to click on it eventually I got Number one and we’re not number one Anymore but we did maintain the number One ranking for something like seven or Eight months or something just by Getting people to click on it so Actually city art seems to be like a Factor but as soon as it drops then your Rankings drop I didn’t believe my Dignity when he told me but that’s what Happened And I did another one actually in December so we know that long ago and we Need for fastest for pristine and the Same thing happened like we were Seventeen us when I just indexed it as I Said I told you it was pretty high when We published them yeah there’s a lot More comments I don’t know why sorry it
Wasn’t seventeen issue I think it was Like nine or twenty etcetera for people And eventually went on like between Fourth and seventh and then as soon as I Click stopped it just dropped back down So all of that to say year to index your Page that’s the first thing to do and It’s kind of interesting they were Google index pages it kind of like test Them and I drops them and Sometimes it brings them back up like a Few days later and sometimes it doesn’t It’s it’s kind of like that google dance For every new blog post um now let’s Jump into what the data that we did say So the thing we’ve done is we’ve Actually scraped two million search Results and the first thing like to Establish the age it was tricky because Google does not give you the date so you Can see that you can see that cache data With you know I have this already but Like if you click here and you click not Similar that’s not what I want Cached then you can get the cached Version of Google so they tell you like When they index the page so you can see These page was indexed yesterday at 7:30 P.m. last time that’s the last time they Called it essentially so it is quite Interesting to see that but like to find The actual original published date of The page is not simple so we actually Had to also scrape wayback machine
Archive dog so we did that and out of Two million search results we actually Managed to get nine hundred thousand URLs original published late and again Original I’m gonna say with quotes Because I kept dog Wayback Machine If the crawlers are just not nearly as Good as Google and so Google will find The URL way earlier then archive.org or Wayback machine finds it but to be Honest if any of you has a better Solution to find the original publish Date our other page I know HF so shows Some in the content Explorer but the Comics projects is really small It wouldn’t work for this kind of study So overall we’ve done that and Essentially we’ve confirmed something That h website shown in this graph here That you see is that the top ranking Spots tend to be much older than Essentially like basically you can see Like the curve here is insane and then After I kind of like normalizes and it’s Kind of like more random but you can Clearly see that on page one here There’s a correlation and actually what We do is we redid that graph removing Are the big sites Amazon Wikipedia YouTube etc so that we can try to focus On the sites that are more like your Site and my site and make it a little Bit more realistic crater and even even When we did that
Ah you can still see that curve right so Like essentially the top tang is here And you can still see that the top page Is tend to be I mean compare that to Like page 2 for example so your page Trees here and then your page 1 it’s Like here it’s it’s a massive massive Difference and it’s quite interesting as It as well to say that the number 1 is Tends to be younger than the number 2 And the reason why is because of search Intent because the number one result in Google is often kind of like following Different rules because let’s say There’s a navigational curve right if I’m typing Authority hacker even if they Were if Neil Patel was like much older Than us was talking about us then we Should rank for our own brain query Therefore like these a lot of other Rules like link data and age and all These things do not matter as much but Anyway that graph confirms that we have Seen that yeah top ranking URLs tend to Be pretty old I mean you can see the one Year line the one your line is like just Under that 400 here it’s almost nothing Oh you can you see my mouse now you can See my mouse I’m showing stuff is my Mouse for like five minutes so I’m sorry You can see the 400 line that’s Basically the one-year line you can see Most pages are runs three years Basically so that is that was quite
Interesting to me to see that yeah page One tends to be filled with all the Stuff but what was interesting is that Most issues are going to look at this Graph and they’re gonna think okay so I Need an old page to rank on page one and Again it’s kind of like saying you know What I need to have worked out for five Years and I’d be massive and I Have huge arms or something like that It’s not necessarily the truth because If you only go to the gym once once a Week then it’s quite unlikely you look a Lot a lot better than you used to when You just started and what we did then is We actually looked at the median amount Of reffering domains Per domain age in that index so you can See are the numbers on the x-axis are Through the years so one two three four Five six Nine ten and then this is the number of Referring domains on the left and you See that essentially the older URL is The more link it has and so it’s kind of Like a chicken or the egg question is The age influencing the links all the Links like you know what I mean oh is it Oh is it the because the PageRank is Higher because it’s older that is Getting moldings right so it’s hard to Tell you know given the other data Studies that we’ve done in the past I Would say it’s probably the links that
Influenced I mean the essentially the Age of the ural that influence the Amount of links that it gets because you Had more time to get links and so Therefore because it has more links and Links are well known ranking factor then Essentially that’s why the pages are Ranking so that’s what I come back to When I showed you the HSV’s data that Showed that you know 0.3% chances of Essentially ranking for high competition High volume keyword within one yeah That’s probably because these pages have A lot of links and if I I’m a really Good link builder then I’m probably able To like jump in there much faster with a Much higher chance right so let me just Jump on my notes quickly to just check What I wanted to talk about next Another thing that okay I want to show That another thing that influences page One and that will influence this data in These rankings that you know you need to Take with a grain of salt is recency of Events and relevancy of events so what I Did to illustrate that is I grew China Right and if I google China right now Okay I get if we know everything let’s Ignore the news lets you know YouTube Let’s ignore all the side let’s just Look at the organic results right if I Googled China right now okay I get Wikipedia first but like my third result Is something about that new virus my
False result is about diverse as well Fixed result is about that virus as well So you essentially have half the Serbs We link that is relevant to the actual News right now and so when we scrape These results some of these queries are Gonna work that way there would be you Know if AMD releases and you micro Processor then you know some of these Stuff is going to jump up and Essentially change this thing If there is an update for software if There is anything like that then he’s Going to change the results so like the Stats that we gave you they include all Of that meaning that you have even less Chances actually to rank on top of Google because you need to count for This kind of like relevant type of Results that come with the news Essentially let me show you check one Thing is there any question by the way If you guys have any questions I’m gonna Go through the questions at the end so We’re actually almost done it’s not a Very long one it’s just a quick life to Hang out yeah okay the last thing I Wanted to share actually like the one of The last main thing so this was like not Super interesting this one but I think So yeah we checked actually the organic Traffic against the edge of the URL and Essentially it follows it it’s exactly The same graph as the links right you
Can see the correlation this is the Links what essentially you know One-year-old average median number of Link is like 40 then it’s like 52 then It’s like 57 53 54 whatever and you can See the doggin traffic is pretty much Following this graph so it shows you That links are probably the factor here Not the edge of the page right but the One thing that we noticed is I asked Michel to look at the HTML of the page And the schema data to find when the Page was last updated because there was A lot of pages that maybe have been Indexed for the first time like five six Seven years ago but have actually you Know being updated in the last six weeks Or something so I wanted to kind of like Compare that and that’s this graph Essentially that this graph shows you The position on google here so we go all The way to 100 it shows you the number Of days since the last update and what’s Very interesting is the top spots isn’t Like the tops free spots are clear Outliers in that study here you can see Essentially the top three spots are Median on two Miller sorry on 900,000 Search results the median number is Below one year like the One year is like here so essentially Most of phase 1 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 the top 7 Spots on the search result all the 900,000 results has been updated within
The last year so if you have a page that You’re complaining that is not ranking Ask yourself when was the last time you Updated it it seems like a dating pages Is kind of updating old pages is the Absolute killing killer thing to do in SEO right now um essentially that was Kind of like what I wanted to conclude On because then it’s just the conclusion Of the post by the way you should go and Read it I’m not giving you everything Here I’m just going through the quick Data and showing you all that stuff um But what’s the meta meta stands for most Effective tactic available it’s an Esport term like for people who play Video games but I think it’s very Relevant for SEO as well like what is The most efficient thing to do today um Claiming your URLs early I think is a is A big deal I think if you are able to You know take the URLs that the keywords That you will want to rank eventually You can let them age a century and if I’m wrong let’s say it is actually a Factor well you’re actually gaining time Only so like let’s say there’s like you Have a list of 300 keywords but you Haven’t have time to read content on That maybe you should just publish that Page and write like a hundred walls or Two hundred on it and then just read it Later because anyway you will need to Update it to rank the second thing is
Building links to your page will bypass Time we can see that in the correlation Between the organic traffic and the Links it seems to be more relevant Especially when you look at the Atrix Data that we saw earlier let me get this One this one this one shows time is not Really a factor there’s no correlation Between time and ranking more it is more Between the domain rating and the Rankings a domain rating is guided by a Links and here we see median number of Domains and organic traffic which shows Us a much closer correlation so Essentially get going building links Because it seems to be a lot more Important than the age of your page or The age of your domain or something and Update your pages like Every year almost like it’s almost like What you have to do it the pages that You care about on Google need a yearly Update now I talked about this was much About in the last podcast so if you Haven’t seen it you can go and check That out but I was asking him like when Do you update your content if you’re Ranking let’s say it ups three or Something like do you take the risk to Update because you might be optimize it For the keywords or some charities and It might be an issue and essentially he Was just telling me as soon as my Ranking start dropping I go and update
My content but like if I’m still ranking Like quite high and doing quite well Sometimes it’s not worth taking that Risk so I think this approach is not a Bad one Obviously the comment is broken people Can’t use it you should update your Content but overall if you want to Compete for these keywords the last Updating is crazy this is actually quite Crazy how much of a difference it makes So that’s basically the rundown for this Blog post that was like a 20 25 minutes Rundown on all these stats and mixing These stuff with eight tracks but I Think it was quite interesting it’s Sometimes we release the data post and I Feel like people it goes over people’s Head and I don’t they’re not able to Like get the most out of it so let me Know in the chat actually do you like This kind of like breakdown should I Break down the other data posts that we Have so that I explain that like in Plain English essentially yeah I’m quite Curious because that’s kind of a new Format if you have questions drop them In the chat as well I’m going to be Answering them both on YouTube and on Facebook I actually need to check the The YouTube chat there’s a few people There’s 11 people on YouTube cool And there’s like quite a few on the on Facebook so if you guys have any
Questions drop them in the chat right Now I will be answering them I’d be Hanging out for like 5-10 years even Though there’s no question I’m going to Be closing this live stream soon and we Can do them more regularly if you guys Like them so like I I want to know if You guys like that because it does take Some time to do so Let me know let me check actually again About your course Thank You Adam hi girl How do you optimize the campaign for High difficulty keywords well I mean we Saw this in the stats basically let me Actually you know what I need to do I Need to use my fancy To switch back to my FaceCam we saw this In the data you need a lot of things Like links are the number one factor or Together was like having content that Matches the search intent really that That’s the two main things so that’s What I would do it is the plant in the Back wheel no it’s not no it’s not That’s a great question though let me Try Nitin say it’s something break it down This is the intermediate the advanced Stuff a lot of us aren’t thinking about Great way for us to level of thought is To differentiate these graphs are Amazing this is manual as data yes this Is all done by Michelle who spent a lot Of time analyzing these data and yeah
It’s it’s we just build custom scrapers For this kind of post and get data Together it’s a lot of work so we hope That you guys appreciate them because it Really like some of them are like Hundreds of hours to put together Checking the charts checking the chat I See nothing on YouTube or me I’m not Really live on YouTube I mean I didn’t See the life so let me check that one Second okay well if there’s no question I’m gonna close it soon basically so I’ll actually drop the URL to a blog Post on the chat so you can go check it Out as well here you go and then I’ll Drop it on YouTube as well I’m on the Wrong YouTube channel maybe you can Subscribe to this on YouTube this is our Podcast best of channel the question Above okay is it possible to go from 0 To dr-40 in 3 to 4 months yes it is but You will need to build a lot of links And you will need to I mean you Basically need to focus on links that Are above d are like faulty basically Like links above your on do your target D are the ones that will move the needle So focus on that if you want to get ya 40 it’s possible but if you’re newbie It’s going to be difficult it’s like for Us yes we can do this for people who Have never done this before It’s it’s It’s going to be a big challenge like
You need to pretty much be full-time on This project Great well we’ll go through those Thanks MC thanks Ross okay so in our cozy into News I’ll have cookie say goodbye to you guys So you had a dog saying goodbye to you And thanks for joining I hope you Enjoyed this how these grafts are Created buddy canva our kind of tool no It’s actually a designer who does it It’s just we have a designer we have a First version that’s like the raw data And then we kind of like style them to Kind of cool and that’s basically it let Me check okay all right I’m closing this See you later guys thanks for joining in Right
