Removed Internal Rel=NoFollows from power internal page - how long till reflected in Google?

[MattAaron]

So the internal page has a PA of 67 -- homepage 55.

Internal page has already been indexed, waiting on the homepage to be indexed.

Thanks for your insight

Assuming those PA metrics are valid (i.e. the links are authentic) then those page values are strong. I would expect them to be updated rather quickly. I know you desire a time frame for "quickly" so I will offer 1 day as an estimate.

[MattAaron]

Thanks man. Hopefully the homepage gets reindexed soon. I will post results here in a week.

Hi Ryan,

The homepage dropped from #8 to #16 -- why would that happen?

[RyanKent]

It wouldn't be related to your removing nofollow from an internal page. Look to other changes you made with your site over the past month.

[MattAaron]

Only changes I have made over the last month is written articles and obtained links from quality sites. I highly doubt it has to do with something else than this immediate change.

When you say obtained links in the last month, how many are we talking? and did you use the same anchor text link?

Are you sure when you unlocked the PR it defiantly did not have a route to the homepage before you did it? and roughly how many pages on the site? 100, 1000, 10,000.

[RyanKent]

If you believe the follow/nofollow change had any effect on your home page ranking feel free to change it back and see if your ranking is restored. I don't have any logical explanation for the result you experienced other then an outside factor influencing the result.

Ryan, if he built a large number of links in one month to the homepage could that effect his ranking as it might look unnatural?

Or the likely-hood of that happening is very unlikely?

[MattAaron]

In the last month, 8 - 10 links of varied anchor text. Roughly 100 pages on the site.

There was a followed link to the homepage on the powerful internal page as well as a nofollow. I removed nofollows and made the first link per html code an anchor text link to the homepage.

When I search Google.com for "Career Change" I see your home page as the # 9 result.

I would share if you change your title to "Career Change" it would be better for ranking purposes. This change alone may or many not make an immediate difference, but once your ranking stabilizes and you are sure no other factors are an influence you may wish to experiment.

The only reason to add other words to the title is if you felt it would help your Click Through Rate. Generally speaking I try to rank as high as possible first, then adjust for CTR. I would therefore remove the "Can we Help You" from your title.
