One has all its high . Old site, lots of links, etc. #1 rankings remain. For the other site, which is far newer and far fewer links it remains on the first page of Y for the terms with either city name first service 2nd or service first/city name 2nd. Haven't seen the changes. Dave I checked 2 businesses. One has all its high . Old site, lots of links, etc. #1 rankings remain.

Client #1 has a very old site with a fair number of links, but no IYP links. They are still ranking at #5. Client #2 has a medium-old site and very few links and is a much more competitive industry.
