Supposing that I have a not explored keyword, where the top ranked are pages with no links at all, and I write an article to cover this exact keyword. Then I build 2 or 3 backlinks to the page. How fast can I rank for that? Can I do it in less than a week? Does anybody here have had any experience of immediately ranking after being indexed? Does the PR of the site/blog influence?
Depending on the competiveness (number of results) you could probably rank highly within a couple of days. Less if you are doing it from a blog or forum that is getting crawled quickly. Fresh results tend to appear near the top of the rankings as soon as they are discovered. Now the question is if you can hold that ranking long term. That is where external links will come into play, not necessarily the number of links but the quality and how good the anchor text is.
Yeah, it's possible. For my long tail keywords if I do enough basic optimizing I can rank in the first page within about a week.
You could probably get it within a week at most, a couple days most likely assuming the long tail doesn't have much competition.
if its not too competitive it should be pretty easy all you have to do is get back links with the anchor text as the keyword you want to rank for
You can rank for non competitive long tail keywords within a day or two by doing just what you mentioned. Make a page that is specific to the keyword, make sure your on page optimization is right, then get just a few links back to it.
Usually google will give a temporary boost to a page once it is published and get indexed and depending on how competitive the keyword you are targeting, there are high chances to be among the first few pages of search results within a matter of hours if it goes to long tailed keywords.
Long tailed keywords? Could someone please explain? And is there more benefit if you rank high with a long tailed keyword?
well, I have made 10 hours ago an article that got immediately indexed in a very young (1 week) article blog. I have build 3 or 4 backlinks, and this caused the fast indexing. But I'm still not ranking at all.. let's see some days from now. Another question: The PR influences here, right? An website with some PR and some authority is more likely to rank well on this situation discussed above, right?
I put a blog on a free hosted subdomain, put plugins in it, added a page and a post and registered it at google. Two days later it entered at no 5 on it's keywords (200.000 results), after four days it ranked no. 1 and hasn't moved since, no backlinks, no ads. Yesterday the host was shut down but the site is still no. 1 so I'm gonna buy a new domain and do the same routine but I actually have to compete for no.1 with the old blog
Interesting situation. The keyword I'm testing this thing right now got 1,7M pages, but nº 1 has no backlinks at all. I'm still not ranking. Let's see what happen.
It depends on the quality of your site. Old, established and trusted site will rank quite well for pretty much anything instantly (if the competition is not that high).
