On this subject, this evening I was very pleasantly surprised to observe how quickly search engines rank new Automad sites. I assisted a relative to purchase a new domain 2-3 weeks ago, and showed them how to create content in Automad. Already, with the relative having only really completed the site a couple of days ago, it appears on page 1 for her primary search term âtweed craftsâ. Check the domain and youâll see itâs so new it doesnât even register on a âwhoisâ search yet, and yet itâs already halfway up page 1.
My impression is that Google probably likes Automad because thereâs not a lot of unnecessary trash at the top of the page that slows down the time to meaningful load, and of course, because sites donât need to delve into the labyrinth of a MySQL database to extract and decrypt data, they load so much faster (at least in my experience).
I have started blogging with Automad and nowadays new content is ranking well in Google very quickly, far faster than when previously I used Wordpress or even HTML (Rapidweaver).
