The SEO community has been buzzing about a supposed “Position 6” Google SERPs punishment pattern where pages which, should dominate the organic SERPs somehow place at lowly #6. Google reps have previously dismissed the notion.
I’ve been tracking the conversations over the past month but until I read Danny Sullivan’s SEL post I wasn’t sold on the idea that this was even remotely a realistic notion. Learning that his impression is that Position 6 is real, has made me rethink the issue.
You can be sure I’ll be looking at the patterns to see what I can find out but I can’t help wondering if I won’t be chasing my tail? Is Position 6 an actual Google penalty or fodder for SEO’s who are imagining patterns where none exist? Have you experienced Position 6? Watch your Google organic SERPs
