Worst Question Ever - Why is my website on Google?

    I literally did absolutely nothing to a domain I registered a month ago besides give it hosting and and play with wordpress just to learn it. Now I have 6 garbage pages on Google...

    how did they find me? I have no, thats 0 backlinks and have discussed this site nowhere. And on top of it, it is in position 11 out of 69,000 if you look up the domain in quotes...

    anarchymagazine.com
    returns #11 spot for "Anarchy magazine", #10 without quotes
    
    Code (markup):
    If you look at the serps, there are a lot of sites that should hold this position. Does domain name have THAT MUCH effect on the serps? The content isn't even related (I was switching over from anarchymagazine to like a recreational herb site)

    The domain has been registered before, and you likely have wordpress set to ping.

    Anarchy magazine isn't a competitive keyword and you would be lucky to get a few visitors a month from a #10 ranking (even a #1 ranking wouldn't bring more than 1 or 2 visitors a day). Domain name does carry weight - and since the keyword isn't competitive at all, it doesn't take much to rank it.

    Wordpress pings - sending out notifications that it exists.

    once google knows a domain that is the users search term, it will often place well, especially on a non-competitive query like this one.

    LOL...funny, you're asking why you got indexed while others
    are dying to get indexed...

    I didn't check the domain you mentioned but I agree with the
    other posts here. It could be an aged domain, and most probably
    wordpress pings..

    You did what George Brown of Google Sniper does..he just leaves
    a wordpress site all on its own and it ranks in its targeted keyword..

    Wouldn't an aged domain have some sort of pagerank, alexa or other traffic rating?


    Mine has none of these...

    No, age does not mean traffic or a worthless alexa rating - and pagerank has nothing to do with age.
