Are you familiar with temporal algorithms? If not you should be and that is the focus of this article. Some SEO experts like it and some say it is a waste of time. As far as I am concerned I give it the big fat green light!

So what is Temporal Algorithms?

It is another of the many equations that search engines use to determine search engine rankings. When I say I discovered this by accident that is exactly what I mean. Do you remember the big Kobe Bryant fiasco? Well I had used it as a metaphor in one of my blog post during the time it was going on, the next thing I know I was inundated with traffic for the next three or four days.

At the time I didn’t really pay much attention to it. Then the big Kim Kardashian sex tape scandal was the hottest thing online. Made a few jokes about it during a blog post and BINGO my page was crushing the front page of the search engines for about a week.

Me being the genius that I am, I still did not pay it much attention. Then I struck again during the death of Michael Jackson, when I blogged about it. Mike was the man and I was just paying homage to the King of Pop. What do you know, I was ranked on the front page for the keyword phrase, ‘Michael Jackson’. OMG the traffic was insane. I wasn’t ranked long but a few days were worth a few new people that had opted in to my list.

For the record each person on your list is worth about $1.00 USD per month on average. Thats when I finally got it. Google will give late breaking news a little favoritism. After thinking about it – it all made perfect since. Google’s job is to deliver the search results that the end user wants. And if there is something that is happening in the world that is mega news worthy Google wants to be able to provide their end user with the results.

I thought this was something that I had discovered, but after further research I realized that my discovery was similar to Christopher Columbus (it wasn’t my discovery ). There were already people that knew about this strategy and they even had a name for it, ‘Temporal Algorithms’. What I did not know is that the majority of individuals where unaware of it. So I decided to share it with you, pretty nice of me huh?!?

The Sad But True News

I do not like making things sound super awesome when there are side-effects. There is no guarantee that this strategy will work for you every time. I have not discovered a proven method for making this technique work each and every time. In my opinion it is worth the effort!

Do you think it is worth a few thousand extra people discovering your site that may not have known about it otherwise? If so, give temporal algorithms a fair shot – you won’t be disappointed I assure you that much.

I hope you have enjoyed this little tip and that it actually puts money in your pockets. I am off to the gym and I will catch you later my friend.
