i have been working on many websites for quite some time and this seems really astonishing that i have one big keyword ranking in top 20 in google in just 15 days of me starting link building. the keyword is >> free classifieds and seems like big one looking at the competition for the same. even bigger names are coming after my website which we launched few days back. am not sure how this could happen as i havent seen google to be so quick in placing a website on good rankings. but i have a reason to cheer now. Anyone making it quickly with Google, please share your story here. Regards Dhaliwal
this time, we hadnt done anything much and it ranked well. only started building links. we have been doing lot of link building and websites go to sandbox, but this is one example when it ranks so well. and am not aware of how many searches are done each day for keyword, but looks like a big keyword.
On just about every site I've build I've experience being in the top 5 for a week or two initially, after that it would dissapear and slowly work it's way up again.
I agree with blinxdk, dont be suprised when you cant find your site no more. It will probably drop since that term is competitive.
would you share the way you get on the top for just even a few days' time. its amazing if you could do that. or maybe you do it for not competitive keywords. i have not been able to come up even in first 3 pages for many travel keywords i was targeting. Am not sure if you can do it for small keywords or for real competitive ones.
site tld is .com and its being online for last 4 years and has alexa rank of 25 K and its a real rank not the fake one
hmm, sounds pretty easy. but i havent been able to do it since long. google was easy a year back, but not now, atleast not for me
Well depends. I am ranking well in Google but very poorly in MSN and Yahoo. Btw, congrats for your good ranking on that very competitive keyword. However, I don't think that 4 years is a short period of time. I have a site that is only 5 months old and that shows up on the second page for a competitive keyword search in Google.
are you using the keywords 'free classified' anywhere in your domain name? A top 20 ranking is possible if you have it in your domain.
I just checked to see if the domain freeclassifieds.com was taken and it is It is a great domain but the website is crapy. With such a great domain, they could not even come up with a decent website!!! Give it to me and I'll turn it into gold
