I found this funny rather than impressive and I need to share it with you guys This morning I have noticed that I'm #1 for the key term "video web directory"! It might not be a fantastic key term but the funny part of the story is that I have 6 google links queued under my site! Oh god, I love that! Check this out http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=video+web+directory&btnG=Google+Search
Thanks a lot guys! It makes me laugh seeing google.de, google.com, google.co.il, google.it under my site I need to take a printscreen now lol BTW... DMOZ and Yahoo are on the second page
Seems you are the only one targetting that term, well done all the same. In 10 years time a "video web directory" may be the hot trend, you will have a nice head start
so, finally you have defeated google directory for that term! LOL there are about 5-6 google directory listings behind you!
I don't want to spoil your fun but probably your site will go a way soon from nr 1 and much lower. I saw that with my new site and other new sites.
Because you will be #1 for your own domain and a few keywords that you dont get any traffic for, but will be on page 5+ for your targetted keywords. Its not much of a sandbox, more of a automatic filter added when they spot un-natural link building.
But the talk of a sandbox has usually been attached to virtually all brand new sites, as in your sites brand new so will be sandboxed for a bit, what if someone is hardly doing any link building? And who came up with this term in the first place?
That is really cool that you are #1. I don't think that your site will be in the sandbox & also the term you are on #1 has some really amazing competition.
