Having worked periodically on our chosen keywords and the site in general over the last six to eight weeks we have found some unexpected and somewhat disappointing results when querying the top three search engines. Now I admit there is a lot of work still to be done, but lets take a look as to where we stood this morning as opposed to this evening!

Live Search (MSN)

• Term - ‘digital media works‘ result - 5 (am) / 5 (pm)
• Term - ‘website designers abergavenny‘ result - 2 & 3 (am) / 3 (pm)
• Term - ‘website designers monmouthshire‘ result - 4 (am) / 4(pm)

Yahoo

• Term - ‘digital media works‘ result - 8(am) / 3(pm)
• Term - ‘website designers abergavenny‘ result - 17 (am) / 24(pm)
• Term - ‘website designers monmouthshire‘ result - 31 (am) / 22(pm)

Google

• Term - ‘digital media works‘ result - 39 (am) / unlisted(pm)
• Term - ‘website designers abergavenny‘ result - 42 (am) / unlisted(pm)
• Term - ‘website designers monmouthshire‘ result - 52 (am) / unlisted(pm)

As you can see the results vary wildly and it would seem that we have written the content too much towards the user rather than the search engine. So its back to the drawing board with our keyword density and content. I can not explain the 6 hour appearance in google.. It’s beyond me!
