How long should does it take before I see SEO results?
-
I am thinking about launching a website connected to Christmas - which gives me less then 2 months to develop and begin ranking for the site.
Is this too short a timeframe and I should put off this plan until next year or can I actually begin ranking for low competitive keywords within my timeframe.

Hi Sara,
If the competition is low, you will probably be able to see results within a few weeks. This would be a gamble but i've seen some of my pages for mediocre level keywords rank in 10 days from the day the page was created.
I guess it would depend on how low the competition is and how far you are willing to go. If you are willing to spend some time creating a really good PR, it would help push your site up in a shorter time.
Honestly IMO no one owns Google so no one can truly answer this question. From my experience it is possible ; ) but its up to you and how far you are willing to go.
Hope this helps.

A site dedicated to the Spanish Christmas raffle - which is quite popular in Spain but much less so in the rest of the world.
Since I am targeting non-Spanish players there is low competition for the keywords, but also less potential from them. I am leaning towards putting off this project since I think a big part of my work will be besides ranking generating world interest in the raffle and convincing people of its importance.

What type of website do you plan to launch?
As it's nearly November, personally I'd feel that maybe you're a little bit too late. Without considerable time and resources, it would be quite difficult for you to make much progress with this.
You might be able to rank for a few low competitive keywords depending on what industry you're in. It would be quite interesting to see the search volume for your site this year so you could be very well prepared ahead of next Christmas.

When buying used domains, how do i see the links pointing to that domain? OSE not showing links
when buying used domains, how do i see the links pointing to that domain? Sometimes the open site explorer doesn't show any links to the domain, especially if the domain is parked. Obviously a domain for sale with 1000 domains linking to it has lots of SEO Value right? Thanks mozzers!

Diverse SEO On & Off page questions!
Hey everybody. I have been reading several resources on SEO, and wanted to know your opinion on these topics. I know they are diverse and should be on a different set of questions, but i wanted to give it a try. I run a Heavily Specialized Steel B2B eCommerce Site. So my question would be what is the importance of the following topics, taking into mind the nature of my site. The importance on how often the page is updated ? Recommendations on updating relatively static pages ? How important is to meet HTML and W3C Standards, also its validation. The NoFollow and Follow ratio of incoming links. Your opinion onthe inclusion of outbound links to other relevant pages. Is there a best practice? Any comment is welcome, and would be deeply appreciated. Regards,

Showing For Long Tail Keywords - Not Targeted?
Hello, Is it normal for Organic traffic to show for keywords or phrases that I am not even targeting? All of this traffic spiked within a couple days and I cant figure out why? I ve been building backlinks, doing all the correct things. Just took me by surprise. Typically when you begin showing organically is it usually a slow progression? Thanks so much!

How long for SEOMoz to reflect new inbound links?
I have carried out some minor link building for my new site (site A) and have some links back from several directories and 1 from ezine and one from squidoo as well as a few partner sites and such. I also have another site (site B) which was linking to site A several times from a footer link, this has now been amended to just one link. The problem is that SEOmoz still only shows 3 linking domains to site A (there are at least 12 if you perform a manual search) and it is still showing many links from site B even though there is now only one. All these changes where made at least 3 weeks ago, how long before Seomoz picks them up.
