Update: Topic Page Experiment

by Matt on Apr 26, 2010 in Blogging

It’s been two weeks since I posted here on HLB about creating permanent topic pages for our hyperlocal blogs — an attempt to solve the problem of old blog posts getting search traffic for current information. Time to share a quick update with some good news. Have a look:

As you can see, our topic page about the local Hogs & Dogs event is already showing up on searches for one of the primary terms, hogs and dogs west richland. Over time, I’d like to see those two results flipped — the topic page getting priority with the old post indented. We’ll see if and when that happens.
