Paid off Collection but no Change in Score

I recently paid off one of my small collection accounts though I still have more that I am working on.  I expected at least a few points boost from paying it off but when I get the notifications that they were updated with 2 out of 3 bureaus, I saw no bump in score.  Is this normal?  Will I not see a bump because I have other outstanding CO and Collections or will it take more time for the score to adjust?

No you won't really see a change if other negatives are still on your reports.

Ah ok.  I wasn't sure.  I haven't had to rebuild like this so I'm not sure what to expect with it all.  Thank you for the response.
