Active Rain losing some Google Juice (Part 2)

Ontario Real Estate Source

By Brian Madigan LL.B.

This is a further review to my RECO election 2012 post. I wondered what happened to my Active Rain Posts. There were 8 of them. Just one made it through at all, and it ranked #8 on page 1.

Nothing on page 2 at all. But, here’s page 3:

21 not relevant

22 active rain

23 active rain

24 us homes (repost of my blog by third party without my permission)

25 RECO (the regulator)

26 not relevant

27 twitter (me)

28 not relevant

29 not relevant

30 not relevant

Well, AR seems to rank fairly well on page 3. However, please note that 4 items that made their way through were not even relevant. So, you can easily see that not too many people would be interested in Page 3.

I have 5 other AR posts that haven't even showed up yet.

Hi Brian - We will need to monitor ActiveRain and Google for some time to see if it gets back its Google Juice.

Brian - here is a post from inmann next agent that may interest you regarding some changes in Google.

I think they have also changed things so that blog posts on sites like AR quickly roll down the page in their results especially if there are other sites with the same content. Your content on other sites may actually be defeating what you are attempting to do with your AR blog.

I've noticed that my Google alerts are coming in faster for Kathy's AR posts recently Here is Google results for a property listing I put up the other day for her. What is more disturbing than the AR results is the two on the top that have her listing on their site. I am going to have to do some checking on this.

Brian - I'm back did the same search in Bing and Active Rain showed up well but kathy's own sites do not,  just one of her service providers. In Duck Duck Go again not so well for kathy's own sites but great for AR #1

There are two post on AR for this property
