Is the $80 submission charge for PRWeb actually worth it?

Awesome tips.

As for your point seven, it’s quite difficult to get directory submission services to change your anchor text for all the directories.

I found that adding a blog to your site is also good to get Google trust.

Briliant article and I’m just sorry I didn’t find it earlier in order to implement some of your findings earlier for my website related to childrens clothes, toys, shoes, books and much more.

thanks for the straight info on this perplexing problem with google. i always read about peple talking about the “sandbox” but never really understood what it exactly was until your article.

when you say to vary the anchor text in the links, do you mean link to a page other than the home page, which has a different title tag?

Great post.
I have been concerned and curious about getting new domain ranked in Google. I had a lot of unanswered questions about the uniqueness in inbound anchor links, but now i see how important it is to make them unique.

I’ve also discovered that reciprocal linking should be done after some time and not instantly when new domain goes live.

I also have got question:
If i am going to build 500 inbound links in near future to my website, then should each inbound link to my website be absolutely unique? I hope not as it will be additional hassle.

I believe one good way to see how your linking campaign has gone, soon, is to check your performance on yahoo. I don’t think the sandbox effect applies there, so it may offer a view of your site’s performance for certain keywords on Google in the future

I am trying to understand how much money you spend to promote a new site as in this example. Are there free resources out there that can accomplish these goals? Or do you need to committ a certain budget for promoting?

Nice post,

@Mark – this can work if the sites are related, and you leave the whois info intact. You can slowly start changing the fields, but maybe only do one field every couple months. Unless you have a real reason, just leave them along

@ Nathan – put your navigation back on your blog, or at least a contact link

Have you had any experience buying a new domain and an old domain then 301ing the old domain to the new? Pass any “trustrank”?

Hey Stuart, great post, a couple of questions:

1- Do you use the free or paid service from PRweb for each new site?
2- With starting off new sites and testing new offers, do you usually use blogs or normal websites? scrap content from other sites or get unique content for each site?

Thanks

The Sandbox. I have experienced this effect several times. The Sandbox seems to last about 2 months for a new domain. Seems to be based off the registration date, however I am not sure.

I have begun putting a page up on new domains as soon as possible after registering. I then get several inbound links and just wait a few months and bang I’ll see the effect of any additional inbound links.

I have also experience the “long tail terms” effect. Less competitive search terms can be obtained almost immediately while more competitive terms will be filtered out while in the sandbox.

Good post Stuart. I’ve been really frustrated with the current state of the domain name market (expensive!) so lots of new domains. I’m going to start following your nine steps. Might expound on this more in a post once we see how things go. I’ll remember to reference this article.

I’ve just started to implement a lot of these ideas into my own sites. It will be interesting to see the results. Also, my first post on your blog. I love it. I’ve been lurking for a while now
