It has been spoken about before some known as pre-seo. Basically if I create a four to five page website you to get the ball rolling until I build my real site, I take it that with a website that is not meeting its purpose 'yet', I can still get to numer 1 purely by having more quality backlinks than the guy currently at number 1 for a KW? Can this be achieved with a one page index.html page on domain as well? TY B
Yes,you can achieve ranking on one page site,but you have to work very hard for that. It is very difficult to put all the information in one page. You may get good rank on a keyword,but your site will look too confusing and messy. This may not be good for your business.
I had a Geocities page go to number 1. It wasn't a very competitive keyword search 'Tucson House Cleaning" but it was what I did for a business and it launched an SEO career.
