I have been doing tons of work and updates to my website and am anxious to see some results. Does Google constantly update throughout the month or is it one major update periodically? Thanks
Your title is SERP update. Is that what you really mean? If it is, google does SERP updates on an ongoing basis, almost constantly. If your site has google love already, then it will crawl it frequently, update frequently if warranted. Google would not wait 1 month to update SERPS. The world is dynamic, not static. If you mean PR, they update PR about 5 times a year. That has little do do with SERPS, as you need keyword/phrases to analyze that. SERPS, however, are continuously updated. Would you not want the latest and greatest? Stephen C
The SERPS in Google change all the time. It's not uncommon for websites to move up or down on a daily and weekly basis.
As what smindsrt said, SERP change all the time. And right now Google is testing their Caffeine algorithm, they are rolling it out on some datacenters once in a while, which will show a big change in SERP too in most websites.
If you are regarding results through PR then it will take 3 months before you will see the result, but if you are referring to SERP rankings then everyday you will see an update on your rankings.
I see some change in my keywords. However, this is just common update and not a big one since results from Caffeine update has not implemented completely yet.
SERP is on going process of Google. There is no constant time. Its being gona change every day or i can say every time.
