"I don't know anyone who gets traffic from their site being displayed on the 987th result"
Hey, great way to launch. Catchy name, good snippet and you have exposure to a bunch of freaky SEO's ;-)
Less is more?
"less is more" ahhh but is it? or is more, less?
There's no question Google is getting smaller, and this is just one part of the evidence. I'm gonna post on my blog over lunch about some other numbers I think are related.
According to the title on SER, it would be "lest is more" ...
I have seen this effect many times over the last few years.
In the past, Google mainly got the page-count estimates wrong for a few days to weeks. If you directly check some other Class-C IP blocks, you might still be able to see some counts that are very different.
On other occasions it was suspected that old data was deleted and then new data piped in over the following days, as the correct counts returned again.
On a few occasions, the original counts were obvious very wildly wrong estimates that returned numbers that were way in excess of reality.
I see the numbers reported for a generic keyword search that I did a few days ago have now dropped by 70% when I tried it again tonight.
I suspect a short-term reporting glitch that will last a week or so.
When I am trying to SERP f any my websites i can see the SERP till 5 page (100 Per Page)
