How Much Long To Wait For Rank After Done SEO - Very Nervous!!!
-
I have done SEO like PR, AD, Web 2.0, Link Building and so on. for the one keyword but after 1 week i didn't see the right result.. my keyword was stuck in 15-20th position and only 1 time appear on top 10 position and that is for only 1 day.

Global - 1300
Local - 590
Competition - Low

Hi Carrol, As Robert has put so well...if it were only that easy:) Seeing rankings go up and then down for new pages (or newly optimized ones) is a pretty common phenomenon, with their freshness giving them a little boost that then dies away.Remember, your SEO will never be a set-and-forget effort. Now that you've done your first work and are seeing confirmation of doing this well by your A+ rating in our tools, take a little moment to celebrate how much you've accomplished and then get ready for your next steps. These may include, but won't be limited to:- Studying your analytics over the coming months to see how users are interacting with your site. This may lead to improvement you can make in both SEO and human usability. How people use your site affects your rankings.- Creating your ongoing content strategy. You may be blogging, creating whitepapers, infographics or other cool stuff to begin to draw steady, valuable, traffic to your site. Having a lively site affects your rankings.- Analyzing your competitors. While the age of your site vs. that of competitors isn't something you can control, you can learn a lot from what your competitors are doing and then figure out how to do it better. Remember, no search engine ranking exists in a vacuum. All the while you are struggling to get to the top, your competitors are doing the same, but if you can make a stronger effort than others who are being neglectful, you can hope to surpass them.- Creating your social media strategy. Find out where your customers are and then figure out how you can participate in and add value to the places they hang out most.- On-going linkbuilding. In competitive markets, this may be a never-ending task.While the effects of some SEO can be seen pretty quickly (within hours or a few days), most efforts are going to take some time to really settle in. A week is definitely not long enough to judge how Google will ultimately respond to the efforts you have made so far, but that's okay, because your efforts are just beginning. Being #18 isn't a bad place to start with a newly optimized website if you are in a competitive market, Carrol, but it does indicate that there will be work ahead of you. By making a steady, consistent effort to continue to grow and improve in as many areas as you can, you will be continuously feeding the bots data that says, "I'm here, I'm active and I'm doing everything I can to be a great resource for visitors." Hang in there. Don't be nervous. Expect this to take time and you'll be approaching the game with the right attitude. Sincerely wishing you good luck!

Thanks for the details. All of the above competitiors are 4-8 old ages domain and i am only have an 3 years old domain. No they are not using EMD.
I also checked in Seomoz rank tracker right now it is showing the rank was 10th position but after 2-3 time refresh the rank it went back to down #18 or so... And in morning sometimes it is showing #6 position and than same went down to hill.

Carrol,
Oh if it were that easy. Being at A+ for the on page is a good start as that, typically, will put you ahead of a lot of competitors. There are a lot of factors that go into who ranks where on page one for example. If after one week you are "stuck" in positions 15 to 20 you are likely on the right track.
Now, you need to look at the other factors that affect what is going on. What types of links do the sites above you have? How does the quality of your content compare to theirs? How long have their domains been established? Do they have exact match domains? Etc.
In SEO, I like to say we strive to be at 100% while understanding that is unattainable. Therefore, we are going to get as close to that as works for the client and the needs of the site. So, what you have to do is understand that there are other factors you must look at. Here is a great infographic from SearchEngineLand with a table of all the factors.
Look through these and you will find bits of knowledge that will assist you. Then, I would suggest that first you go about finding who is linking to your best competitors for the term and see how you can get some links from them. I would also track the traffic coming to the page and see if the CTR is reasonable, are people spending time on the page/site, etc. Every little bit of help will move you closer to your goals.
I hope this makes you feel a bit better about the good work you have already done.

Rankings for Google Play Pages
Hey all, I'm relatively new here and certainly new to posting in the forums and interacting with the community but I hope to be much more active in the coming months. I have what might be a silly question regarding search results for a Google Play store-specific query. The company in question has their main North American app that's been out for a month and a half and then an International version that was released just a few days ago. If you run a Google search (NOT a search witin Google Play) for 'Google Play Company Name' the more recent (but less used and ultimately less important, at least for the time being) International app is higher in the SERP than the more used and reviewed North American app. I'm guessing that this is something that will correct itself over the next week as the North American app establishes itself as the more important of the two, but I figured it couldn't hurt to ask just in case there's something they can do to affect the results a little quicker. Any advice, input or just a verification of my guess would be greatly appreciated!
