theory James. I was kind of surprised as well. Perhaps they are not targeting the biggest DMAs which would be odd. Or they could have been having some SEO issues during the time period during which we did the research. Mac August 15, 2009 at 7:01 pm Andrew, nice report. That Top 20 list of YP searches, is that list in any type of descending order such as revenues or searches. Does Asia Mobile Number List
anyone have a list of the Top 20 IYP searches for local search? Thanks. Mac Ash Nallawalla August 16, 2009 at 4:25 am Great post, Andrew. It was timely, as I was about to review IBP and I decided to test just four keyphrase sets as per my post linked from here. I look forward to your updates. Chris Silver Smith August 18, 2009 a
t 8:58 am Wow! Great post, Andrew, as I mentioned to you via email last week and via Tweets! There are so many comments here that I’d love to address, too, but there’s limited time/space. Tim Coleman, I believe James Johnson is right – Superpages did not disallow bots from all pages except biz profiles. It’s quite possible that you could have leaped to that conclusion if you checked robots.txt on the wrong subdomain, however. They have a lot of subdomains, and some of those subdomains have bot limits on them for various reasons. jspats, Andrew is right – this wasn’t an overall traffic ranking survey, and IYPs from many sources in addition to their organic search referral visits. John, I can appreciate the
SEO conspiracy theory view, but it’s untrue. Superpages enjoyed the top position for the keyword “yellow pages” as far back as 2000, and the more comprehensive SEO work started functioning as far back as 2004, years prior to any agreement between SP and Goog. Superpages agreements in no way involved any extra ranking “juice” from Google. Design and structure of the Superpages site, along with considerable link-building programs were some of the main reasons why Superpages has performed well on some queries. Among various SEO researchers, there is also a theory that older, well-established sites might enjoy some preferment due to an incumbent seniority status in the rankings for some keyword.
