How Long Does It Take to Rank in Google

How Long Does It Take to Rank in Google The standard response to this important question is “It depends”. This is because the algorithm behind Google Rankings is a complex system with at least 200 known factors. Trying to take into account all of these factors and come up with a universal formula for all websites is pretty much impossible. The good news is that there is a study conducted by SEO tool provider Ahrefs that may be able to offer website owners a more concrete answer after all. The first thing that the team at Ahrefs did was to calculate the average age of top-ranked pages. They took 2 million randomly selected keywords and pulled data on the Top 10 ranking pages for each of them. As it turned out, only 22% of pages that currently rank in the Top 10 on Google were created within one year. The study also showed that no more than 5.7% of all studied pages ranked in the Top 10 search results within 1 year for at least 1 keyword. In other words, the Ahrefs study demonstrated that old pages clearly dominate the search engine results pages (SERP).What does this mean for the rest of the pages that arent as lucky as that 5.7 %?
