Why not creating a blog and post your articles there? There's a Linked list gadget there where you can put your backlinks so that they will be indexed as soon as you have published your posts. That trick is simple yet powerful if we talk about indexing.
Hope this helps.

That's great progress after only a week! If you want more powerful backlinks to really give your site a boost, check out the link in my signature.

nothing like self promotion

[cerno]

If you are looking for organic search traffic, rather than running an email campaign where you simply need a landing page like most people here, developing on anything other than .com seems very inefficient as a good chunk of any return traffic or referrals will end up at the dot com website after typing in the .com domain name. It will take incredible effort to move to page 1 in all cases, why make that investment in time and money on a domain facing such a big disadvantage.

Awesome. Keep promoting for yourself, and you'll get banned.

[jacked]

I've never had great success with .info domains and SEO, but let me know how it goes.

[clature]

Awesome work mate. My story's similar to yours, except that after the first week of seo, I got myself onto the 23rd page.

Keep it up and keep us updated man~!

[KristofSX]

okay another update: 9th place today (96th spot!) sweet =P

nope, only few banners with hidden aff links

How competitive is this keyword ?...did you purchase the domain from go daddy ?

[bhuff85]

Just keep grinding man. I've got a few .info domains that are ranking on page 1 without issue. Make sure your on-page SEO is as optimized as you can get it. The better your on-page SEO, the more effective your off-page SEO will be.

Did it take more back links than normal to get to page 1 with your .info ?

Well, as with anything, it's going to vary with your competition. If competition is weak, the less backlinks you'll need, and vice-versa. Some of the sites required a little more push due to more competition, while others were the polar opposite.

I've been working really hard on proper on-page SEO, and I truly think that is what has helped me obtain solid rankings. These .info sites have been sitting on page 1 now for a few months with very little movement. Once I learned how to use proper on-page SEO tactics, I've been witnessing some stellar rankings. Once I put some quality, diversified backlinks to them, that's when it starts driving it's way to the top.

Right now, I'm working on going back through some of my old sites that weren't optimized fully and reworking them to help start those make their way up as well. The key is to mesh your on-page SEO so that it works for the SE's, but also is readable and of quality. That's how I've managed to get good rankings, lower my bounce rate and increase my average visitor time.

yeah I've bought it on godaddy
my main keyword - 10 mil search results
760k competitors in "keyword" and I'm on spot 2 behind wikipedia in "keyword"
now I've moved to place 93rd (form 96th)

Really really sweet Kris. Hoping that you'll get to the time within a month.

[KristofSX]

another update, 12 hour ago my article site was on 9th page, main site - 34th (for main keyword)
now:
my main site is at 15th page, my article - no results till 35 page

for me it's good because for this keyword i want to rank my page, not an article (which is on page 17th from 1.1mil results in article keyword)

looks like Google is researching my site more and just the results are more relevant now

[subzero525]

too soon to tell you need at least 2 or 3 months to see the real result for your work but entirely this looks promising keep it up

[jasonthewebmaster]

Awesome dude!

It goes to show that .info domains are really no less valuable than .com - and I would rather have an exact match .info domain than a .com that sounds "catchy" but has no keywords in it!

Keep up the good work and you will be on page 1 in no time.

A really good tool that you can get for free is Market Samurai. It will tell you exactly what you need to do to rank above the competition. I have started using it recently with some good success.

weird how I started a thread on .co domains and it got deleted. I will have to update soon as I am already making money from my domains and just started them June 15th

Not my experience at all. .info domains rank just fine. Page 1 is just as possible as if you had a .com, .net, etc.

Absolutely correct.

Looks a bit shady that site.....

In general though I do find it a lot harder to come across .info domains in the top search rankings. I know for every niche I'm in there are no .info's to be found anywhere and i'm not sure that the original poster will succeed in ranking his domain....

I agree Terry. You are spot on. They are the exception rather than the rule for sure.

Cheers mate

Craig

They're only the exception because the myth that .infos don't rank as well has been perpetuated for years ... mostly by internet marketers, so there's probably a 100/1 .com/.info ratio for every niche (probably far greater).

I can tell anyone for a fact that any .info will rank every bit as well as a .com. It matter not in the least.

[KristofSX]

update:
Queries 202 Impressions 3000 Clicks 22

Not much traffic so far, my page is bouncing between 10th and 15th page for main keyword, and around 8th - 12th for some lower-competition keywords, I'm still working on content and backlinks, but probably need to boost some high-pr backlinks to get higher on results.

[Steven Miranda]

Nice job- interested to see long term results.

[Natlex]

I don't really understand why you would post this, but if it encourages you keep doing it. However keep in mind you sohuld count results in SEO over months, not daily or weekly.
