      Hello,

      I have my homepage that has been existing for 10 years that is ranked in 18 th position on google for the keyword luxury bike tours. This homepage doesn't have any external link or internal links saying luxury bike tours and nowhere in the title or on the page do I have the word luxury. I only have the words bike and tours.

      I created a blog page 24 hours ago that has the word luxury, bike and tours in the title and it is ranked in 19 th position just behind my homepage.

      I am wondering how it can be there and my homepage just be one spot above with all the history and linking it has ?

      Is it due to the fact that I have the word luxury in the title ? Is it just because my internal linking structure is correct and this blog page is brand new and will my homepage rank higher in the near future but see that I just redid the structure I need to wait a few months ?

        It's only been 24 hours!!

        Did you check where you ranked for "luxury bike tours" before you added the blog?

        I would say that if within 24 hours your blog is only one spot below the Homepage then you should be fine within a few weeks! Keep adding good content to your blog that supports those keywords and you will be golden!

          My homepage was at the same spot. So, should I expect an increase in ranking for my homepage and blog pages in the next few weeks ?
