It is just amazing how fast a blog and/or website can be built and making progress theses days.
Between Feb 1st and March 1st I worked on 10 sites, 3 blogs and 7 websites. I track a lot of data and like to do a review of how well new sites are working and thought I would share some of that here.
PageRank: 5 have a Pagerank of 4, 3 = PR 3, 1 = PR 2
Traffic: The average for all 10 sites is 100 PV per day from 65 Visitors per day.
Index: All 10 are indexed in Google, all 10 are in Yahoo, only 4 are in MSN.
Income: 3 made more than $15 in April. 3 are not monetized.
Most of these sites took 5 days from registration date to get indexed in Google and receiving some traffic. The traffic increased visibly starting about 3 days in advance of seeing a Pagerank.
Good stuff!
Google took hours to include my turnip farming post, while Yahoo took 3 days or so.
Were your inclusion for niche topics? Less competitive topics?
Neither, it was just indexed.
The difference is the data I was showing is for a brand new site getting in Google.
Once in Google, I typically see a post show up in BlogSearch in minutes, and in the main index with 24-48 hours.
Sounds excellent – all 3 of my sites took less than a day each to construct and take live – then indexed by the big 3 in less than 48 hours. At little know how and a lot of ambition can be accomplished in a short amount of time these days.
