In a multivariable test that we had found success, one aspect of what was done was put an image on our site from the top authority site using their image hosting file as the source of the image, linked back to the page the original image was used, and then took some content from that page, and converted the Unicode before placing it on our page where we put the image. Our image tests needed a little more time to run, but we didn't see much improvement from the Unicode on a local level. A completely red grid moved this much...  Simply taking the content from a top ranking relevant site, changing the uni code, and putting it on our website, didn't show any results from last week's test and when looking at the results today we see the same thing. This week we're going to talk about the second part of our original test. Taking an image from a relevant site and using their hosted image an our ranking page, and linking it back to the page they hosted the image on. We have seen ZERO movement with our targeted keyword. So we've essentially split one part of our original test into two parts and so far neither has shown any real movement alone. Either these things are taking longer to show effects when done alone, for our original theory could be correct that when done together they are producing some type of a result but alone we won't see much movement. Next week will review our final test where we will do all these things together to see if we get any type of movement. Until then, Happy Testing!
