Something must be wrong

[ttb]

So we had a post that got a lot of attention a few days ago called The Unibody iPhone. It's gotten so much attention, that it's been linked by Fortune, Gizmodo, Cnet, and many many independent blogs and such. It's been about a week since it's been up and when I do a Google search for "The Unibody iPhone" our site doesn't appear anywhere. Not on the first, second, third or even forth page.

What's wrong? I have Yoast formatted. Something else must seriously be up.

Please help!

Congratulations! Honestly, you should be ranking up top. Can't see any problems with it not being indexed. The last cache date was Aug 11, 2012 17:03:18 GMT.

Was it ever ranking? If so, when did it drop?

I'm thinking that Google's freshness algo is bumping all of the newer articles publishing news about your article to the top. When the news dies down, your page should jump back to page 1. Hope I'm right! Pretty curious myself so I'll keep an eye on it.

Using the keyword difficulty tool, the search for " The Unibody iPhone" is highly competitive. The SERPs have the sites like Fortune, Gizmodo, cnet that link to your site in the top spots. Also, I noticed the link from Fortune is a nofollow.

I did notice that you cannot view the website in Internet Explorer and goes to a page with links to other browser downloads. This could be contributing to poor rankings.

Having your page linked by these authority news sites but not performing well in the search results isn't necessarily a bad thing. You are probably receiving a ton of referral traffic from these news and blog sites. Once these news sites are lowered after the buzz, your site should do well and continue to bring traffic.
