How long does it take for updated SEO attributes to take effect

    Hey Gang,

    I just spent the afternoon reading the free ebook from SeoMoz (as suggested within another dp post). I've been going through all of my blogs and updating them to be more SEO friendly. So I started wondering, how long will it take for me to see any results. I dont expect the floodgates to run wide open. I am in a competitve niche, but does Google and other search engines notice that the site has been updated.

    Thanks,

    Well, initially I made the optimization changes:

    Keyword in Title and H1 HTML tag
    Keyword 3x's in article
    keyword in bold once
    Added an image to every post with keyword

    I am not expecting a monsoon of traffic. Really I am wondering if because the pages have already been out there for months, will the changes even make a difference. I am glad I know what to do for further posts now.

    Accendo, the changes will make a difference, and I don't know why the book told you to put keywords only 3x in an article that sounds too arbitrary to me because the longer the article is the more times you can put your keywords.

    No one know, it depends on many factors, many new sites appear and make changes everyday, sometime within 2-3 days, sometimes within weeks even months
