That's nice, congrats! Did you do a lot of backlinking or just SEO? But you got indexed in Google overnight? That's amazingly fast!
lol give this about 30 more days. A lot of times Google messes up when they index new sites. You'll be coming back to scream for help when your site goes down to 30+ pages. Keep browsing around the SEO section, and you'll see the other people who are experiencing the "sandbox" effect. Enjoy while it last.
It sounds like you had a reverse sand box reaction. My site ranked 2 for make money free leading to a few hundred hits from google then dropped into the thousands I am just barely working my way back up into the top hundred with thousands of backlinks and seo. Don't expect your site to stay on the front page since it has not been set yet it takes a few months to really get set within the index then going up or down is legit.
If its about online gaming one advantage this niche have is that you can go in-game and invite your guildmates and other online game buddies to visit your site.. You can also spam the game like what Game Gold site does to get traffic
congrats thats cool i takes me around 3-4 weeks with a new site to hit that mark depending on the niche off course
I had a site exactly like your, except it was for a tv show, and the extension was .TV as well. After putting it up with 30 pages and submitting links to directories and social sites, it got over 150 uniques in less than a day and has grown steadily since then... So I think the TLD doesn't matter, but the content does...
Hey, good work. That's impressive. My site's been up for a while, and I don't even get that kind of traffic some days!
Congrats, thanks for sharing your story. Like you said, its a little inspiration for us all. Fancy sharing your techniques ?
