Let’s get right into the test results from some of last week’s tests…

TEST VARIATION #1
Page 1 – Just Contextual Reference
Page 2 – Contextual Reference Innerlinking to Page 1
Page 3 – Contextual Reference Outbound Linking to External Page. (Generic page)

#1 RESULTS

Position #1 – Page 1
Position #2 – Page 2
Position #3 – Page 3 (Omitted or Not Indexed)

TEST VARIATION #2
Page 1 – Just Contextual Reference
Page 2 – Contextual Reference Innerlinking to Page 3
Page 3 – Contextual Reference Outbound Linking to External Page. (Generic page)

#2 RESULTS (Mixed Results)

Position #1 – Page 3/Page 1
Position #2 – Page 1/Page 3
Position #3 – Page 2 (Omitted or Not Indexed)

TEST VARIATION #3
Page 1 – Just Contextual Reference
Page 2 – Contextual Reference Innerlinking to Page 1 (no contextual reference)
Page 3 – Contextual Reference Outbound Linking to External Page. (Generic page)

#3 RESULTS (Mixed Results)(Note: Same as Test #2)

Position #1 – Page 3/Page 1
Position #2 – Page 1/Page 3
Position #3 – Page 2 (Omitted or Not Indexed)

TEST VARIATION #4
Page 1 – Just Contextual Reference
Page 2 – Contextual Reference Innerlinking to Page 3 (no contextual reference)
Page 3 – Contextual Reference Outbound Linking to External Page. (Generic page)

#4 RESULTS

Position #1 – Page 1
Position #2 – Page 3
Position #3 – Page 2 (Omitted or Not Indexed)

In the 5th test variation, we changed one thing. Instead of building an “optimized” web 2.0 property, we used a made-up term and found a top-ranking profile page using just the first 5 characters of the made-up term. Example: jonfinqzletpedntrfe and then google “jonfinq” and see the top-ranking profile. We then varied the last few letters of the made-up term to repeat this test multiple times using the same profile to link out to.

TEST VARIATION #5
Page 1 – Just Contextual Reference
Page 2 – Contextual Reference Innerlinking to Page 1
Page 3 – Contextual Reference Outbound Linking to External Page. (“relevant” profile)

These are the results of the very first test variation we ran…

#5 RESULTS

Position #1 – Page 1
Position #2 – Page 3
Position #3 – Page 2 (Not Indexed)

After the first variation test was indexed, every subsequent test returned different results, but they were all the same result. Almost as if the first test could have triggered the subsequent results to turn out different.

What do you think changed in test #5 after the first variation results? Let us know in the group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/localseocommunity/

Unfortunately, we are out of time for this week so next week we will reveal the final test results along with our full analysis of the data.

See you next week, happy testing!

I simply don’t get it…I’ve been busting my hump for almost 2 months to rank for the keyword + GEO – in their own local area even. and it’s getting worse not better. Ever since Nov 2019 – this has been a nightmare for this customer…I’ve even paid for press releases to make this better. I know there’s a million variables, but just wondering what you guys have experienced lately…
