Pleasantly Surprised
Getting ranked well in Google is no easy exercise, especially when you are starting a new site with a brand new domain and attempting to exceed the quality of rival sites. To be honest, the only method I’ve ever found to work 100% is link building where the anchor text is the keyword you wish to target.
I was pleasantly surprised to find one or two of my sites have crept up the rankings without link building, just from the domains being a little older. In my experience this can really help and I have read some webmasters buy a domain then leave it for a year before they build a site.
The extra traffic I am not getting will help me nicely and I am sitting here with a smile and I own over 100 domains that are maturing day-by-day. I can’t wait to start producing good quality sites on domains I’ve had for maybe 2 or 3 years.
Right now though I’m still working on my current front line sites, including the content based ones I’ve been talking about. Both are coming along nicely, I just wish it was 6 or 12 months down the line and they were established.
Time will tell. Good luck with your persuits,
Khalid.
