Never published website ranks 4th place with in 72 hours.

**CureCancer** · 11-20-2009, 02:04 AM

I have been studying SEO for a good 4 years now. Finally my hours of reading and testing has paid off with my new website.

With in 72 hours, I'm now ranked 4th place on Google out of 3.3 million websites that are also competing for Top 10 Search Results.

I have not finished optimizing it, will take me 6+ months to get a full outlook into the SEO campaign. My goal is 1st place for Top Search Results that I have selected for my new site.

I'm also indexed for dozen more keywords in Top 10! 72 hours is an amazing feeling! Now I can use this info to pitch to clients.

what is your niche?

**wussadotcom** · 11-20-2009, 05:56 AM

And what is your search competitiveness? I know its very easy to rank top for millions and even billions of search result with easy keywords aka unknown keyword but very hard to top in a top 1 million search result but people searching it min 200K plus per month.

If you do serious SEO you should know that this is called a Newbie Bonus for new sites and you will loose normally your position.

Anyway, good luck !

If someone needs SEO for his German keys PM me.

...and a whole different ballgame to keep that ranking.

Unfortunately, I have to agree. Unless you have access to some really high traffic high PR properly anchored backlinks, it's impossible to rank high that quickly.

It's the initial boost that happens sometimes, but dies soon. I've even had this happen with newly parked pages.

It's easy to rank #1 for a search string if your domain consists of the exact keywords and/or you are targeting those words in the title, description and content (especially valid with long tail domains and/or uncommon keyword terms).

'The traffic and links are not important compared to the above which high or #1 ranking can be accomplished with no traffic, PR or links, imo. I also don't believe the fact it may be new is relevant, imo.

New sites often have a initial boost but that don't mean he won't stay there. A good never ending campaing will surely keep you there and improve.

Thats my goal, optimization on a daily basis. My focus has been backlinks from PR6+

Publishing Articles related to my niche with backlinks to my site.

**Aleksandar** · 11-20-2009, 12:54 PM

Yes, there are lots of SEO books containing some interesting free link building tactics, the more you know the better.

Don't focus only on PR6, focus on every relevant categories, something like if you have a web development blog, links from web design/SEO/domain/ or any other similar websites are great. It often happens that many of those web pages will use some similar terms like your carefully choosen anchor texts and that's great. Makes relevancy.

Good luck!

The real question should be: How much traffic are you receiving?

give me a month and I'll update everyone. Traffic is coming in, from 0.

**tetrapak** · 11-20-2009, 01:55 PM

You see that is the point. In a competitive niche you would be getting nice traffic from the 2nd page as well. You are either targeting a not so searched niche, or you got the initial boost as the others are stating.
