This is my strategy: I find keywords that dont have any competition and I buy the domain-keyword. I create a wordpress blog with the best seo plugin post 1-2 post every week in the first month.

I submit the url to google, I check my rank with ranktracker and I'm in the first page- around 6-11 place, and I have done this with 5-10 sites, all lose their rank after 2 weeks

why is that? The rank good in the beginning, then they loose it?

  • Google sometimes gives a "welcome gift" to new sites making them rank well for a short period of time. After that, it just give them the rank it thinks they deserve.

    • Charlie, you ought to be back in Two and a Half Men, cos Ashton Kutcher don't cut it.

      The situation with your sites is called Query Deserves Freshness (QDF). So new sites get a honeymoon period before being relegated to what the algo thinks they should rank. It's normal.

    • Yes, becuase I basicly have no competition, and I have the domain keyword. So in that sense I should rank first place without much backlinks.

      How long does it take to come back?

  • do not worry dude

    it is due to the google algorithm. your site will be in top within 2-3 weeks. in the mean time you should work on your site's seo.

    thanks
  • This is the "freshness" bonus, take advantage of it by building strong content in the beginning so you can get links.
  • Its a little welcome gift from google, like a puppy leaving a present on your doorstep. Only thing is after a few weeks you find it stinks and is actually a piece of puppy poo, so you have to roll up your sleeves and do hard work.

    What a terrible analogy, I need sleep!

    Basically, new sites get a little lift, so they appear higher in the rankings, to get them shown and visited. Then they drop that welcome lift and you plummet. Google then says "show me you are a real, worthy website" and you build links, content and social buzz to prove yourself then eventually google reassesses you and ranks you properly.

    That sounds crap as well. What they said above....
  • However, most sites get low ranking if they are new and they have to earn Google's trust...
  • Keep building high quality backlinks to your site. It will eventually rise back up.
  • You forgot to build backlinks.
  • Just having the keyword in the domain will not guarantee you in top positions. Its a boost but most likely nothing more

  • How good is your on-page SEO? - Have you checked your site against the top ten?

    I use MS, and when I create my site/page I will add this to the SEO module and compare my site to the top ten in Google for the on-page SEO. I look to have my site fully optomised for every keyword i'm going after, so in MS I have a full block of red Y's..

    Then I look to do my internal linking within the site as well as some external links to some authority sites.

    This is even before I look to do off-page SEO.
