How long till you rank for your domain name?

Hi everybody!
Say you have a domain like stocktips.com - how long would you estimate it'll take to rank for it's name?
Thank you,
Alex

I believe new domain names usually take 2 months (average) to "age". Beyond that, your ability to rank will rely on standard seo ranking factors.

You have to analyze your competitor to have an idea about the time, you need to do good SEO and produce good content, the domain exact match is a ranking factor but not the only

Thanks Nicholas,
Yes the domain has no content at the moment - we'll be working on that soon.
I know it's impossible to get an exact quote, I'm more interested in your estimations so I can compare with my estimations
Thanks again!

Well stocktips.com doesn't seem to be a valid site, so there is no content to crawl.
If you're speaking in generalities (based on an exact match domain example), then if you do all your on page optimization, have decent content, and start getting links, you should start seeing your site in top SERPs in a few months. If you do the work.
I had a client with an exact match, good on-page, a few natural external links and a couple blog articles and they were on the first page of the SERP after about 3 months.
Bottom line is that no one can tell you how long it will take, because it depends on the competitiveness of the term, if someone is doing SEO better than you, then they will out-rank you.

Correction: my question should be this:
How long do you estimate it'll take to rank for the key words: "stock tips" with the domain stocktips.com?
Thank you!

Oh, maybe my question is unclear:
Indexing is one and actual ranking for the terms "stock tips" is another thing.
I hope this clears my question
Thanks!

Your site will be indexed shortly after search engines become aware it exists. You can help by submitted a sitemap to Google and Bing. Once you submit the sitemap you should have your first crawl within a day. You should also register with Google and Bing's Webmaster Tools.

Brand Name Keyword Stuffing
I'm targeting Roho Cushions and the category page has many products starting with Roho underneath it. I know the keyword "Roho" shows up at least 70 times. I'm not targeting the keyword Roho, but could this negatively effect the rest of my keywords that start with Roho, such as "Roho Wheelchair Cushions"?

How can we stop an article ranking so highly?
We secured an article on national newspaper site for a client which now ranks number one for its own branded search term. Since we secured the article (over two years ago) the client has changed the direction of its business so the article is now no longer relevant and is actually causing a lot of trouble for the client. When people search for their business the article is telling readers one thing when their business actually does something else. How can we stop this article ranking so highly?

Google Analytics - Long keywords
Hi All, Question for you Google Analytics pros. In the keywords section of my account I see the various words that have been used to find my site. The top entry shows a big long line of text from my site and I wondered why this appears on the keywords. e.g Lets say I had "Today I went to the shops and bought a football" In the keywords I would normally expect to see 'football', 'shops' etc but instead I am actually seeing things like " went to the shops and bought a football". What causing this? Thanks all
