Page 3 google.....
 

If I am on page three and I have not updated in a LONG LONG time would it be best to leave it alone or start the updating again and see what happens?

I'm scared to touch it. LOL

I would leave it for now

page 3 are you kidding me? do you even receive 1 unique a day from that serp?

don't fuck with it, you might lose your 5 hits per month....

That's what she said. :winkwink:

Google is touchy, be weary

Does anyone go to page 3?

Unless the position is bringing you thousands of quality hits per day you have little to lose and much to gain depending on the term. Try making small changes and keep track of which direction the changes send you. I wouldn't stop updating unless you got magical first page positions on great terms on a small site with few back links. In all other situations updating is usually the better option. If the site got there on back links and relevant content an update shouldn't hurt much if at all.

+1.

I get why you're scared dude, it's not about the 5 hits you're probably getting now.. it's about the potential traffic from a top 10.. you're worried about slowing down the climb from page 3 to page 1.

But really, you shouldn't worry about messing things up by updating it, especially if you're talking about a blog or something. Ranking becomes exponentially harder from page 3 to page 1, and even moreso from rank #10 to rank #1. So if you have a strong backlink profile or are actively getting new high quality links from related sites I don't think you'd plummet over an update or two.

But of course, take it with a grain of salt.. there are many factors at play.

If you are getting good traffic now and it helps make you money then I would not bother but if it is not doing much then work it to page one. What do you have to lose if you are not making anything from it as it is.
I get about 40 hits a day from one that shows on page 2-3 but I have not been able to get it any better no matter what I do.

If you want, tell me the term then I'll make a blog and get it to page 1-2 for it, then I'll give it to you if I keep a couple of backlinks in the footer..

It actually gets about 2300/month just from organic traffic so what's that about 75 hits a day roughly right? I suck at math. And it only has made a little over $100 this month but I'm thinking page 1 might mean more :2 cents::2 cents::2 cents:.

I have +1000 backlinks but from internal pages on other domains not just root pages.

Yea, it's not much but it's been steady $50-100/month doing nothing. Just curious what the page 1 spot would potentially do.

Thanks for the offer! But I will pass. :winkwink:

Its not hard to reach page one if you work in a niche. A lot harder if you're after generic terms. Page three for "Porn" might not be bad. Page three for "Balloon fetish porn" is basically useless.

I have Google set up to show me 50 results per page, so once I hit page two of the results I often find interesting sites - but that's not a good place to be in the listings if you want traffic and profits.

In all honesty, if my sites aren't listed "above the fold" on page one of Google's SERPs, I just let them sit there and I never update them. I'm very niche oriented, though.

There are a lot of terms that send 10-15/day from page 10.

Page 3 isn't a "bad" place to be. Lots of guys on here make a lot of money for a lot of page 3 rankings instead of 2-3 page 1 rankings. :winkwink:

Just give it a go man, not really much to lose :D

you wont succeed unless you take the risk.,

thats what i learned.

page 3 is nothing, keep updating and who knows you ll end up on 1st page.

What's the search term? Must be really big term to be excited about page 3.

Here do www.homegymswork.com email is on bottom :) Go at it big boy :thumbsup

So...I am on page one for a popular solo model that is on my blog that I haven't updated in weeks.

I have been busy doing mainstream sites that are keeping me busy and the adult stuff is on auto pilot.

Shit is weird, my adult stuff has increased 30 percent in the past month.

Now, I am catching up on bills with plenty of cash left over to pay more bills.

I see at least a few things that can be fixed at first glance, I'll try it out :winkwink:

I'm guessing it's a profitable targeted micro niche term :upsidedow

i prefer page 3 in the sun

http://www.page3.com/

Yup... Quite a few... :winkwink:

I have a bunch of sites and if you can rank this one we can do biz brother :)

no offense, but if you can do that with any keyword... you should be a millionaire by now

seriously. :2 cents:

1. buy domain.
2. rank for keyword
3. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$

I figured that it wasn't extremely competitive seeing that he's on page 3 with a few hits/day..
I'm pretty good, though..

Not always. I have a tube that gets about 2,500 hits/day from it's main keyword on page 1 Google but I make more with micro niche blogs with less than 10 uniques/day :2 cents:

Sounds good. I just have to do some php today and send a ton of emails since apparently Outlook is a piece of shit and said it sent my emails for the past few weeks but didn't :(

Then I'll work on your sites :upsidedow

And? How did this work out?

Page 3? Keep working at it until page 1. Heck,, depending on how easy the term is, try for #1 and keep working to keep it there.

It didn't if he tried. Would not be easy at all with those authority sites on page one.
