I just started a new domain today and allready have a basic page up. I am going to throw everything I know at it and see how I go with my targetted keywords. I have allready started with link building so we'll see how long it takes for Google and Yahoo to index the site. This is going to be my first major attempt to hit something this big. So, wish me luck.
Not bad! Google has indexed my domain only about 5 hours after creating it and is already #18 in the SERP's for my targetted keywords!
This we call it Google Honeymoon, so enjoy it before it goes deep in 2-3 weeks time. I suggest you to continue add more backlinks as it will help you gather good SERP ranking spot soon.
