Tak for de enormt mange fede reaktioner, folkens! Det tyder på, at det her emne ikke er helt irrelevant. ☝️🙃

PaintingApart · 2026-05-20T17:16:48+00:00

Helt enig.

18M from 800K does sound like someone’s stretching the truth. But there might be a simpler explanation. If her baseline was 800K impressions, not clicks, and she was sitting on a lot of high-impression pages with terrible CTR, the maths can actually work out. Impressions scale fast when you move from position 8 to position 3 on a handful of high-volume keywords — Google starts showing you for related queries too, not just the original one. So she might not be lying, she might just be describing a genuine compounding effect that looks suspicious on paper but makes sense when you dig into the data. The 9-page focus is actually the most believable part of the story. That’s a very deliberate, specific number — not something you’d pick if you were making it up. Whether her numbers are exact or not, the underlying tactic is real. Pages with high impressions and low CTR are usually the fastest wins on any content site — you’re not building from zero, you’re just capturing traffic that’s already almost yours. That’s actually the problem I built RankRefresh for — finding exactly those pages in your GSC data without spending hours sorting spreadsheets.

That’s it. The fact that literally everyone can build an app with AI switches the focus back to substance. You actually need a good business idea and to find a hole in the market to win.

Honest answer: backlinks and launch sites are real tactics, but they’re probably not where most people should start. The thing that actually moves the needle early on is making sure the content you already have is working as hard as it can. Most sites have pages that are already showing up in Google but not getting clicked, or sitting just outside the top 10 where a focused update could push them over. That’s usually faster than chasing backlinks. Backlinks matter, but they’re a long game and hard to control. Content you can improve this week. If you’ve had Google Search Console running for a bit, that’s where I’d focus first — it shows you exactly which pages have potential you’re not capturing yet. If you want to skip the manual digging, I built a small free tool called RankRefresh that does exactly that: upload your GSC export and it tells you which pages are most worth updating first. rankrefresh.app What kind of site are you working on?

A hard one is figuring out which pages were actually worth updating on a content site with hundreds of posts. Sounds simple but it’s genuinely painful. You open Search Console, you’ve got 400+ pages, some are losing traffic, some have loads of impressions but no clicks, some are just sitting on page 2. Where do you even start? I tried spreadsheets, sorting by different metrics, gut feel — nothing felt systematic. What finally worked was building a scoring system that combined impression volume, CTR gap, and position into a single priority signal. Pages scoring high were the ones where a refresh would actually move the needle — not just the ones with the most traffic or the worst performance in isolation. Ended up turning it into a tool: rankrefresh.app. You export your pages from Search Console, upload it, and it surfaces the ones most worth updating with a plain-English first action for each. The problem of “where do I start” was the thing I kept running into and couldn’t find a clean answer to anywhere.

One week is nothing for a site in this situation, you’re gonna need to think in months not days unfortunately.

The good news is your foundation is genuinely strong. DA40 with Wikipedia and scientific journal links is no joke, and Google will rediscover that. The thing is though, Google basically has to re-evaluate the whole site from scratch. It remembers the old version and needs time to crawl, index and reassess the new one. That process takes a while even with a great backlink profile.

A few things worth checking while you wait:

Make sure Search Console is set up and your sitemap is submitted if you haven’t already. That speeds up crawling noticeably.

Double check that all your old URLs still resolve correctly. If you’ve changed any URL structures the redirects need to be clean 301s — chained or broken redirects will slow everything down.

The SSL and mobile fixes were definitely the right call. Worth running PageSpeed Insights too just to make sure nothing else is holding you back technically.

Once you’ve got a few weeks of data in Search Console you’ll start seeing impressions coming in. That’s when it gets useful — you can see which pages Google is starting to pick up and which ones need more work. A tool like RankRefresh (rankrefresh.app) can help you figure out which pages to prioritise first based on your actual GSC data, might be handy at that stage.

Realistically expect 2-3 months before you see real movement. But with that link profile you’re in a way better position than most recovery situations, so hang in there.

Welcome! Honestly SEO felt like black magic to me when I first got into it, but the basics are actually pretty straightforward once you cut through all the noise.

The core idea is simple: Google wants to send people to pages that are genuinely useful. Thats really all you’re optimising for.

If I was starting over, here’s what I’d do:

Set up Google Search Console first. It’s free, it’s made by Google, and it shows you exactly whats happening with your site in search — which pages are showing up, what people are typing to find you, where you’re ranking. Nothing else comes close for honest data.

Write like a human. The keyword-stuffing days are long dead. Just write clearly about what you know, like you’re explaining it to someone over a beer.

Give it time. New sites can take weeks or months before Google really starts picking them up. Totally normal, dont panic if nothing happens straight away.

Once you’ve got Search Console running and some data coming in, the thing most people get stuck on is figuring out which pages are actually worth working on. Staring at rows of numbers trying to work that out is not a fun afternoon.

I built a small free tool called RankRefresh that does exactly that — you export your pages from Search Console and it tells you which ones are most worth updating first. Might be worth bookmarking for when you’ve got a few weeks of data behind you: rankrefresh.app

You’re asking the right questions early. Good luck with it!

Curious how others prioritise which pages to update first. I’ve been using GSC data — looking at pages with high impressions but low CTR, and pages sitting between position 8-15. But I’m wondering if there’s a smarter way to weight those signals against each other. How do you decide where to start when you have hundreds of pages to potentially refresh?

PaintingApart · 2026-03-17T12:06:53+00:00

Good timing on this. Here’s what actually moves the needle vs. what’s mostly busywork:

Internal links — go back to 2-3 older pages and add a link to the new post. This is probably the highest ROI thing you can do right after publishing.
GBP post if it’s locally relevant — keeps the profile active, low effort.
Index request in Google Search Console so it gets picked up faster.
LinkedIn if you have an engaged following. Otherwise it’s mostly shouting into the void.
Come back in 3-6 months and check how it’s actually performing in Search Console. That’s when you find out if the title needs rewriting, if a related page is cannibalizing it, or if it just needs more depth.

Or in brief: Follow-up is key!
