Do New Domains Start Out With a High Google Penalty?

Discussion in 'Domain Names' started by qardinal, Aug 29, 2009.

    I did a little research using seopenalty.com, and according to them all new domains start out with a level 10 penalty! (The highest Google penalty without being banned)

    Am I seeing this right or does every domain now start out with a high penalty? Maybe it's a quirk with seopenalty that lists domains with few indexed pages as having a high penalty (another quirk is they list all domains without indexed pages as being "banned").

    I started researching this after seeing that my new subdomains were showing up with high penalties immediately after being indexed.

    Does anyone have any insight on this?

    New websites rather initially get extra credit from Google for some time.

    But after a short period of time Google puts them in a "sandbox" for a period from3 months to even 2 years. So, it's better to find and buy old domain.

    A very stupid 'theory', as others have pointed out.

    I think seopenalty is just automatically listing all sites with a 0 pagerank as having a high penalty, and all sites with no indexed pages as being banned. It may be useful for any site with any sort of pagerank + indexed pages (pagerank + indexed pages likely being an oxymoron).
