Don't you hate it when you make 2 SEO changes at once and your site skyrockets?
 

Because you don't know which thing helped it...


I read so much bad shit about too much content on the homepage (specifically in wordpress increasing the posts per page beyond 10) that I never tried it. I just tripled it and jumped way up. Keep in mind it is for a very non-competitive term but it makes me wonder.... was everyone wrong.

Hope it stays but sometimes you can get a nice pop and then end up on the shit list for the same thing that originally got you the traffic surge.

Maybe the triple in content boosted your keyword density and relevancy to the better.
