So Far
So what has happened so far? Well the good news, the Digital Point Forum Down Post was recently cached with the new description, April 7th. It’s still ranked sixth for the keyword “digital point forum”, and it now reflects the new description. All has gone as planned so far. What do the stats say though? Have I received more than one hit from Google? Well I have gotten three so far. Hardly a record, maybe for worse, but that is a one a day average. Far better than one hit a month, like it was getting.
Fine Tuning
So if it continues to get one hit a day, I think it’s safe to say that a good idea is to turn your description into a selling point. I want more than one click a day though, and I think I can get it. Digital Point is pretty dang popular, and doing a little SEO research the keyword phrase is getting used 140 times a day by Google. Sixth place ranking should get more than 1% of the traffic. Shouldn’t it? So I am coming up with a new description for the post, and see if it improves the odds a little more. Stay tuned for part three!
