Why is my domain #1 in goog?

11 replies
I registered this domain less than 6 months ago. Put it on my hosting account, threw a default wordpress install on it, and went back to other projects. The webalizer stats show no traffic, yet goog shows the two word dot com #1 out of 1.2 billion broad, and #1 out of 38.7K in quotes. It seems nowhere to be found on yahoo and bing.

I have no clue why and it makes me anxious to build something on it. But I also wonder if it is some unknown glitch that will be corrected at some point.

Or, is goog trying to say something entirely different with the results? Maybe it's a gimme?

If you could educate me a little that would be great. Thanks in advance.

      I clearly overlooked that. Thanks.

      After clearing and incognito, the results are the same on my end.

    Well it is definitely showing as #1 for me searching for seen mobile. I would hypothesize that its getting a boost based on the keyword being in the domain plus likely in your title tag.

    The main thing is though...if its not getting any traffic...whats the point. Now i'm not sure what sort of traffic the keyword "seen mobile" gets because I havent checked but there are lots of keywrods that a new site can rank for that will received next to no organic visitors.

    If it is indeed a trafficed phrase then congrats although being a fairly new site I'm betting that it drops like a rock soon. Otherwise if there isnt any traffic I wouldnt bother being too excited for the ranking Now if it was for "mobile" then you can buy the drinks at the next meeting

    Cheers

    The keyword "seen mobile" gets <10 GMS and not enough data for LMS.

    Your site is ranking #1 based on domain name and more importantly the title tag and no competition.

      Exactly this.

      The keyword doesn't receive more than 10 searches per month so there isn't a whole lot of competition

      You gotta make sure you uncheck broad and check exact!

      We've all done it

    seenmobile.com is #1 in google for "seen mobile" for me. there are only 6 indexed pages & none of them has any related content. This is interesting

    Maybe it's a less competitive keyword?
