    I've achieved this before. I had a website which redirected to an affiliate offer and did nothing else.

    Promoted it fairly heavily and it actually started ranking well in the search engines. This of course is really cool, because people would click the link and go straight to the affiliate offer.

    So absolutely yes it can be. The question will be how competitive the keyword(s) you are promoting and how many quality backlinks it will take to achieve it.

    Make sure you use web 2.0 sites like squidoo, hubpages, etc. The rank real well in their own right and give powerful backlinks.

    Good luck.

    Cheers

    The way you redirect is important! You want to use a "permanent redirect", not just a simple html redirect. Here's code you can use for your index.php:

    Code:
    <?php
header("HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently");
header("Location: http://www.newdomain.com/page.html");
exit();
?>

    Thanks for the info...I'm definitely building backlinks then

    In your opinion should I create as many backlinks that I can right off of that bat, even though the domain name more than likely hasnt been indexed by google yet? Or should I create a couple of backlinks a day?

      It's almost always MUCH better to feed it slowly... a few backlinks a day.
