How Fast Can You Rank a New Domain?
-
How long would it take to get a 1 page ranking for a new site after Penguin?
Thinking about starting fresh.
New site would have fresh content and keyword in the domain.
-
Thanks @Nakul for your useful input to this question.
Yes, agreed. -
Would starting a new site with sport tickets news and linking off that help?
-
Well for example there is Stubhub.com
How do sites get ranked for E-Com?
Putting out good content rather than posting on your own site?
-
When you said long tail keywords -
I have recently begun with my content and keyword selections.
I used the Adword's keyword tool and for eg: got a few keywords like
laser skin treatment
dermatology
dermatologists
cosmetic laser surgery
The competition for these are low and medium. Now what I understand is. If I wish to use them in my articles on content generation I can have them as medium and long tail keywords to write around.
So for eg: laser skin treatment = " Benefits of a laser skin treatment in India" and the url for this article could be /laser-skin-treatment
For dermatology = "best dermatology practices" url could be** /dermatology-practices**
Do the above happen to be the medium and long tail keywords? Am I going in the correct direction. How do I judge and come out with medium and long tail keywords. Please suggest
Thanks

My guess is that is going to be a tough one to start with nothing unless you've got something really great to add that is not already out there. Look at your keywords and look at the competition, then look at your content. Is your content better than what is already on the first page?
Do people looking for tickets care about current news and analysis, or do they care about tickets? Does your content match what your buyer wants to find?
-
The industry is tickets - sports tickets mainly - nfl so they would be team related websites.
Content would basically be blogs about the current news and analysis of players/games.

hello,
my website ranked in one month for "web design" in google.gr. It depends on quality and fresh content, content is king!
-
So simply put based on the amazing responses here, I would suggest to build your site (whatever your niche is) with long tail keywords, continue to build great content, and then over a certain period of time, once you have established a certain trust and domain authority, you could start ranking for a little bit better keywords and the cycle continues. It's simply a continuous process building a site and it's rankings. You would not want a brand new site with 5/10/50 articles ranking for Mortgage or Lamps or Cars or Loans.
I hope that helps and makes sense.
-
Seeing that there are only ten positions on the first page of google, your chances are not good.
-
We wrote freakishly similar responses at the exact same time. High five!
-
It completely depends on your site and the competition.
For example, if you're trying to complete for "super duper elephant lamp" then you can be on page 1 within a week. Frankly, you could probably have the #1 result in a week.
However, for a keyword like "lamp" you'd have a lot more trouble getting on that first page.
Basically, without looking into your specific niche, there's no way to give an educated answer.

PS If anyone reading this happens to go into the "super duper elephant lamp" business then I expect to be paid royalties :).
-
No time at all if you want to rank for a 12 word phrase that nobody searches for, or if you use a search engine that is easily gamed. Eons if you are trying to rank on the first page of Google in the US for a generic one word keyword like "cars" or "loans".

Hacked Websites (Doorways) Ranking First Page of Google
Hello Moz community! I could really use your help with some suggestions here with some recent changes I've noticed in the Google serps for terms I've been currently working on. Currently one of the projects I am working on is for an online pharmacy and noticed that the SERPs are being now taken up by hacked websites which look like doorways to 301 redirect to an online pharmacy the hacker wants the traffic to go to. Seems like they may be wordpress sites that are hacked and have unrelated content on their websites compared to online pharmacies. We've submitted these issues as spam to Google and within chrome as well but haven't heard back. When searching terms like "Canadian Pharmacy Viagra" and other similar terms we see this issue. Any other recommendations on how we can fix this issue? Thanks for your time and attached is a screenshot of the results we are seeing for one of our searches. 1Orus

Please Please Please help (not ranking any more)..
my website is: www.tcclinic.com it was a static website which was ranking well. total about 400 pages. I also had my blog hosted on another domain (www.shopify.com) about 800 pages. I was told if I bring the blog to my domain, then I will have more content on my site and will rank even better, and also was advised to switch to WordPress. so about two weeks ago I did the following changes: I moved the site and blogs to my domain (tcclinic.com). and switch to WordPress. total of 1200 pages Since it was changing to WordPress all the URLs was changed and named differently. I did 301 redirect for all the pages. all the URLs now contains "toronto-cosmetic-clinic" which is the name of my clinic example: www.tcclinic.com/toronto-cosmetic-clinic-liposuction-surgery/ www.tcclinic.com/toronto-cosmetic-clinic-tummy-tuck/ most of my pages are indexed by google now BUT Now as the result I am not ranking anywhere in first 5 to 6 pages. I am not sure what is happening. have I been hit by a penguin, panda or any other black and white animal ? if this is the case how do I know this happened. Haveing "toronto-cosmetic-clinic" in all the URLs is considered as keyword stuffing ? moving 800 pages of blog to my domain caused it ? (blogs are removed from shopify.com) Is it just the matter of time to come back to the first page? Please let me know what you think.... Thank you

Exact Match Domains - Why are they still dominating?
Fantastic day! I am seeing exact match domains still dominating. SEOmoz has some insight: http://www.seomoz.org/blog/exact-match-domains-are-far-too-powerful-is-their-time-limited But that's from two years ago. Is Google ever going to target the manipulators that buy up all the exact match domains? One of our partners is getting the itch, and I am running out of explanations on why we don't manipulate. But if these practices are dominating their industry, what to do? I have to get paid to feed the family so just telling the client buh-bye isn't going to work. At least not in this stage of agency building. Their root domain doesn't do much for them, however, you know we well optimize those subdomains and rank those fine. But if my client can just buy an exact match domain, and it will take less SEO work to get it ranked then why not? He has the SEO expert in his back pocket to clean up the mess IF they would even get a penalty or drop in rank. Is all SEO really is find algo hole, manipulate, penalty, fix, find algo hole, manipulate, penalty, fix. Wash. Rinse. Repeat. Please share your experiences and insight! Thanks, Ben
