  1. Nice service. Keyword research really takes a lot of time, especially when you try to dig out the real good ones. If the keyword list is good then the money is well spent.

  2. I also know that there are different results based upon geographic regions. I am in CA and my friend lives in NY. His site shows up in a different spot on my search than when he searches. Google also admitted that is the case based on the regions.

    Looking forward to tonights Webinar. Good Luck J. You can do it.

  3. Hi, Jennifer,
    Thanks for the information on Google ranks. It really does make sense, since Google is not a static service. Congrats on your Wealthy Affiliate University anniversary. For financial reasons, I had to drop WA for a while, but I hope to get back to it soon. I will be listening at the Webinar. Best wishes!
    Linda

    David,

    You may wish to tell your friend to sign out of his Google account before making his search. There is the possibility that he’s seeing personalized search at work.

    He likely visits his own site regularly, and so Google would see that as a site that he must like, and therefore may display higher in the rankings for him. Seen many occasions where someone thinks they have a high ranking until they sign out of their Google account.

  5. Thank you Chris. That makes perfect sense and I am kicking myself for not thinking about that.

  6. The video was really helpful to me. Great job! Thanks PotPie

  7. Hi Jennifer,

    I have experienced google’s fluctuating results for what seems to be about 2 months now.

    I understand how and why that would happen… within reason, but what I have seen could not possibly be from new content, backlinks, lenses or posts combined.

    I’ve not only seen this happen while using quotes to estimate competing pages, but I’ve also seen it using the allintitle: results.

    Last Friday I used it for a keyword phrase that showed 1760 pages.
    Fortunately I was documenting all of my results which is why I would not be talked out of it (in my own mind) the way I was the first few times it happened to me. lol

    A few minutes later the exact same phrase showed 32,600 and it has hovered there ever since with one exception. My son (age 28) using his ipod did the search for me and the first time it showed 1590 and the next 32,600.

    He took screen shots for me because I originally was going to send them to google and ask them what was going on, but when I attempted to contact them and realized that they have various gatekeepers, such as forums to help people get answers to their questions, I aborted the mission.

    The next day I received Travis’s video so at least I knew I wasn’t the only one experiencing these inconsistent results.

  8. Thanks for confirming theory, Jennifer. I also want to thank you for all the hard work you put in trying to help all of us. It has been really beneficial. Over the years I have tried many different times to earn money online. I have earned roughly $1,500 dollars total and it was very sporadic and spread out across 3 years or so. Since, I have been following you and Travs I have had a much more focused approach. I have been able to identify good keywords, build backlinks, and see my “sites” climb to the first page in google. I see this as progress, but I haven’t been able to generate consistent income. I am not sure if that is because the niche’s I choose just are not the best to make money from or if it is my content. I have two sites going right now. One is complete and the other is built and I am in the process of building links and submitting articles. I was hoping you or maybe one of your successful followers could take a look at them and point me in the right direction. My email is sandsdelmarva@aol.com, and the sites are http://jobs-in-houston-texas.info , and http://howtobuildyourownsolarpanel.x10hosting.com . Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  9. Like you so clearly explained, this is not google fluctuating. This is google functioning perfectly in real time. Geographically, google results also differ and sometimes drastically. That’s why, for my research purposes, I try to get US results as these tend to be more influential in terms of volume of qualified returns.

  10. Look, we seem to be making a fuzz out of the minute waves that google outputs every so few minutes. Imagine what headaches we would suffer when we have to contend with both google and microsoft (when it brings Yahoo up to par with google) soon?

    Great Video, I am very happy to getting this information.

  12. It was an excellent video. After seeing the video i have realised that the numbers reflected by Google should not be taken on the face of it and we should see whether the numbers are right or wrong and that involves more time. So which tool for KW eresearch should be relied upon to show the exact and correct numbers?

  13. PHP Training says:

    really great video and i also like this type of video . i did not notice number , but now i give proper attention towards the numbers.

  14. Very interesting post. unfortunately we do not all have the options with the weak SA rand!

    Unfortunately I cannot afford Travis’s keyword lists. So, I do my research with hours and hours and then after a while I get a message from Google that I’m sending automated requests and I cannot do anything any more!

    This I can still handle, but all these Google slaps gets me down!!! lat night I went to bed and my site was no. 1 in Google, this morning I wake up and I cannot find it. I do not know how to change it? Every now and again you have to start all over!

    What should I do?

  15. Thank you for this. This is very informative and helpful. Keep up the good work.
