SEO Advice

Just like in real life with people, first impressions mean a lot to Google. If you are launching a new web site, make it count.

Try and get a few quality links to your web site from other established, content related web sites. Make sure you have a well organized, search engine friendly web site with atleast 5 pages of optimized and related content. Finally, make sure your domain name is registered for a term of atleast a few years. All of these factors combined will contribute to a decent starting page rank and could avoid the dreaded Google sandbox.

Yes, I know. Pagerank is not as an important factor as it used to be but it’s still a solid indicator from Google as to the relevance and importance of your web site. Its a lot easier to obtain a higher pagerank down the road when you start off at a 5 or better right off the bat.
