Many things have changed in SEO<\/a> since Google first came online in 1998.<\/p>\n

The one thing that hasn\u2019t changed is this: Your organic traffic is directly related to your search engine ranking positions.<\/p>\n

If you have a prolific number of keywords in the Google index and they appear at or near the top of the search results, boundless traffic will follow.<\/p>\n

He also warned that just because a page gets indexed, doesn\u2019t mean that it will rank for anything right away, if ever.<\/p>\n

Due to the number of factors in play, rapid changes in SERPs should not be expected.<\/p>\n

Mueller has said in the past that even if you make drastic changes to your website\u2019s design and functionality, it could still take a couple of months or even a year to have an impact.<\/p>\n

This, however, doesn\u2019t mean that you should just sit and wait after you upgrade your site. He mentioned some specific ideas for speeding up indexing, which included:<\/p>\n
