Google Doesn’t Hate New Websites
The old myth has been circulating around the internet for over 8 years, and I even believed it, thinking if a client had a brand new domain, with very little link popularity or even zero that there was no way to expect any kind of organic Google traffic early in the game…
PPC being your only option to getting some testing & search traffic up and going until we did a pile of link building and general press before you got traffic…
Last week, Google proved me wrong. Thanks Google!
Domain Created on: 18-Nov-09
Links built on the 20th (about 8 ~ 10 directories submitted)
Yes, within 10 business days, the site received about 20 hits via very specific searches. No, no waterfall or firehose of traffic by anyone’s stretch of the imagination, but still! Within 6 days, it started ranking in organic searches for search terms… Many clients have wanted the domain to show up for it’s own NAME within 2 weeks and that doesn’t happen, this one not only does that but also gets searches for it’s content!
Proof there are still niche markets to be had out there. Keep hunting, because treasure troves are still out there. No, 10 searchers is nothing to get excited about, but I will say that this market I’m referring to is huge, so when it DOES start ranking for the terms we’re aiming for we’re in for a BIG bonus.
Just wanted to clear that myth up because truth is the more content we post and the more links we build the more that will really come into play in the next few days.
I won’t post the topic or niche though because this client deserves a fresh chance at the market before anyone else jumps in…
But still, you should know it’s possible!
Until next time
