Excellent, good show.

The keywords we are trying to rank for, MOZ says it has a 28% difficulty, so I do not think we will need a 79/82 horsepower to rank on page 1 in a good position.  I suspect that since DA is calculated on a log scale, the difficulty % is also probably logarithmic, so a 48% difficulty would take quite a lot more DA to rank, than just a linear interpolation would suggest for a 28% difficulty.

I wonder if you can approximate how much DA/PA it takes to rank at a given difficulty % - have you ever given thought to this?

Can I ask - what is your site's DA and PA average say for the homepage?

Thank you for your input, good job!

@William - thank you for the response.

Very interesting indeed, it seems that they ramp in slowly, like a soft-start (if anyone is familiar with what I am talking about).

In any case, thank you for your time and response!

We just released a very targeted page for a specific item about 18 hours ago.

For the main keyword as well as multiple variations, we currently are ranking around # 40 to # 50 depending on what the exact query is.

Is it normal to initially rank lower in the SERPs and then as the page ages, gain?

Thank you for your insights!

Don't do it.  Create original, good content and get people to legitimately link to it because they place such a high value on it.

It all depends on the industry, local factors and search trends.

It may be for your industry/business that that is an epic CTR.  It also may be that people searching for those items are not actually looking for what you think they are looking for.

Do you have any comparables for your top competitors?  There are copious tools out there which can estimate traffic, albeit they can not be very accurate, but still if you compare your traffic to competitor traffic using the same tools, you may get some more insight into what is "normal" for your business.

The bottom line is that every niche has its own numbers and you may be doing everything just fine.

Not too sure if they are indexed in the same way.

Do you know of any other sites which are also using this technology?  If yes, try doing a google site: search for that site and do some investigation to see if they get crawled similarly.
