Drip vs burst: how edit velocity played out in 3 campaigns

Drip vs burst: how edit velocity played out in 3 campaigns

Curated cases on the pace of placing inserts.

— A practitioner dripped 12 edits over 12 weeks; target climbed steadily, no volatility flagged, ending 8 positions up.
— Counterpoint: an agency placed 12 in one week and saw a spike-then-settle pattern, netting roughly the same final position but with a scary mid-campaign dip.
— Also circulating: a forum claim that burst works fine on aged domains but rattles young ones.

Editor's note: same link count, similar endpoint, very different ride. The young-vs-aged-domain nuance is the reconciling detail.

Pick of the week: the drip writeup — the steadiness is appealing if you can afford the patience, and it's well-documented week by week.
