Chaz and the Entire Team   SEO Mad Scientist 🧪🥼🔬  Back to another weekly update of the SEO mad scientist and today we're going to go over our current testing experiments and more detail so everyone has a better understanding of what we were testing and how, as well as give an update on the first two test variations. First let's talk about the test themselves. Any series of tests, we're looking to test the effectiveness of linking from one page to another for SEO value. When linking from one web page to another you can link to another web page on your website or you can link to an external reference. The link can also be contextual as well as just a URL list, and placement on the page can vary as well. In order to get a baseline understanding of how some of these variations may impact the SEO value, if segmented these into four different tests. Test 1: Take the page primary keyword, search long tail variations on Google to complied a list of relevant links. Link from test page out to target pages with a list at the bottom of the page. Test 2: Take the page primary keyword, search long tail variations on Google to complied a list of relevant links. Link from test page out to target pages contextually with relevant keywords in the content on the page. Test 3: Take the page primary keyword, search long tail variations on Google to complied a list of relevant pages. Recreate these pages with unique content on the website. Link from test page to the internal pages with a list at the bottom of the page. Test 4: Take the page primary keyword, search long tail variations on Google to complied a list of relevant pages. Recreate these pages with unique content on the website. Link from test page to the internal pages contextually with relevant keywords in the content on the page. Last week looking at the first test variation we saw some initial upward movement but very little that we could correlate to adding the links. Since then the rankings have returned to where they were previously and fluctuated down a little bit. We don't believe adding these outbound links in the list format to the bottom of the page made a massive change but it may have influenced something initially. Current Results:   Looking at the second test variation we see a similar thing happening once we added the links and recalled the page. There seems to be a slight increase in ranking shortly after that but it's still difficult to tell at this point. Since the links are contextual in this second test variation, we do speculate that linking these terms could increase the SEO value of them from what we've seen from previous tests. So if rankings increases level out or increase more, that would support our findings previously that hyperlinking a term can give it more weight on a web page. We now have the final two test variations running side by side and will report on our first result findings next week. If we see major movement from both variations that we may report on both next weekend in One update so be sure not to miss it. Join us next week for another SEO testing update until then Happy testing! FROM THE VAULT
