Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I thought they were weak because the site that were ranking had 0 everything. I didn't know EMDs were that strong. The reason that I bought this domain is because I could do a lot other things with it, and the fact that it was old and had PR would give the site some authority when trying to rank for KWs like the ones I mentioned. Thanks for shedding light on this but now I'm even more confused with what Google wants. What are the things I should be focus on doing? Building good backlinks? If so what type of backlinks should I focus on building? Some bullet points or links to resources would great. btw thanks for answering.

I bought a real  1Yr old PR4 domain and used it to make a blog that would rank easily for new trending keywords (Ex: product launch keywords). I used Yoast SEO and made sure I did all the on-page recommendations it gave me and had linklicious ping the post and a couple high PR backlinks that I gave the page, but it won't even rank page 10 let alone index. My domain is indexed and the home page links to my post. I know a average amount of SEO but I hate doing it because stuff like this frustrates me. Can someone help me? Do I need to get certain backlinks? Is there a way to get my site and post to index faster?

BTW the keywords i'm trying to rank for have websites that are brand spanking new some of them are blogspot websites. Most of them don't have a single backlink to them.
