Ecommerce site content upgrade timescale.
-
I have been upgrading my sites content and structure and I have been wondering how long I should wait for a traffic increase before I should think it has been a failure and try a new plan of attack?

Thanks
My site is not huge about 3000 pages. We did some architecture upgrades and a bit of a design change and since then Google has hammered us! I cant see any reason for its and have been trying to find the issue and it is just taking ages to bounce back. we are also doing a content upgrade site wide and its having a slight effect but I think it may just be to little over the whole site to have an effect. my site is www.centralsaddlery.co.uk i would love to here any ideas or issues architecture wise. Its a long way of on content and the product pages could be better but we are being held back by an outdated CMS(new CMS is under construction). it just seems like all efforts are failing. if its just time and content that is the issue I can just keep working but i am worried there is a bigger problem lurking in the site architecture.

Lately my new content has been taking much longer than normal to start delivering traffic. This was concerning me so I decided to monitor some new pages. A year ago my site would throw new pages into competitive positions overnight. This is a long-established site.
For a keyword difficulty ot 45% I launched a new page on January 2. Here is the time scale for it moving up the SERPs with no linkbuilding.
January 3 - 150
January 17 - 113
January 31 - 82
February 10 - 37
February 20 - 29
March 2 - 29
March 15 - 18
March 29 - 12
April 6 - 10
April 18 - 8
So, I believe that google has become much slower to rank new pages - except those for keywords where accelerating search traffic creates urgency.

How large is your site? Make sure that your new content is being indexed by searching for it in Google, then wait a few weeks once the content has been indexed to see if it has had an impact on rankings.

Need suggestion to place longer content on products category page
Hi All, I wanted to place longer content on products category page, Currenty I am showing product listing first and then small description at the end of listing.I don't want to add longer content either bottom or top. I want to make two tabs at the top of each category pages like Products | Informtion In Product section (after clicking on it) I want to display all products listing & in Information tab (after clicking on it) 2-3 paragraphs of webpage content but I'm afraid If I will place the content in this way Google won't index content and my purpose of adding webpage content to target long tail keywords won't fulfill. Please suggest me if you have any better idea & let me know what I am going to do would be good or not in SEO perspective. Thanks

Great content/news articles - but struggling to drive traffic from them
We publish 2-3 great quality news stories/posts on our sites weekly, but are struggling to gain traffic from external sources for them, other than our own blog and socials. We have followings for each of our sites, but want to expand and get our posts found in other relevant blogs, features, releases etc. The posts are 'Top 10 Tips...', 'How To... in 6 Easy Steps', 'What Makes a Great...' etc. All great things that people want to read about and share. All this of course helps towards the SEO of the sites, but the posts aren't written for that, they are written to guide and inform. My question is, how are other people getting their great content found online, talked about and shared? I personally think that our posts are awesome; containing useful information that will help people. Isn't that what it's all about?

Content Estimates
Are there any SEO Content writers that can create several pages for me on a post- graduate level for a target audience of physicians? Writing should be informative regarding our company and also optimized for keywords. I only have one quote so far from a company outside of SEOMoz and I was hoping to get someone on this site that had some experience in this area. Thank you, Utah Tiger
