Domain age, SEO and indexing - advice please

I'm looking at using a domain name that i registered 2-3 months ago. So far it hasnt been hosted anywhere. Its currently not even indexed.

If it suddenly received large amounts of traffic - would it be penalised at all. Natural links of course, not link farms etc.

Your thoughts please.

Thanks

 

Traffic does not dictate search results, search engines can only monitor traffic that comes from their actual index.

 

What about in the eyes of Google - who could potentially sandbox the site

 

If they are relevant quality natural links you have nothing to worry about.

 

I'm in agreement with ssandecki here. You have a new site with a new domain here (or at least the potential for a new site). As long as you're not gaming the system you'll be fine. Good luck with your site.

 

thanks guys

no plans to game the system - just expect to pick up in bould links from good press

 

Only problem you might face is at your host on shared hosting and expecting a traffic spike?

Thats when suddenly the host cant provide the service that they oversell and give you a suprise.

 

Actually, that never happens. The host company usually over sells but use their TOS and policies to break that promise, it's rather sad.

 

Yeah and they will know that most customers wont have read the TOS when they first signed up.

 

I know, it's funny cause all those sites offering unlimited this have limits in the TOS.

 

I always ignore the unlimited anything because i know its not practical and even the ones who do set a limit for the benefit of getting you to sign up are still madly overselling.

 

Well, disk space wise it's possible, with respectable limitations.
