Google Index Adds Antiques, Collectibles and Auction News In 2 Weeks

For quite some time (years) there has been a great deal of discussion among SEO's, website developers, website owners and hosts about the Google "sandbox". The sandbox is a very real thing that has caused many new websites to drop from the higher rankings.

On August 14, 2007 the domain for Antiques, Collectibles and Auction News was purchased and shortly afterwards the site was developed and unveiled on Lunar Pages since they have proven to be a top quality, reliable web hosting company. Between that start and August 28, 2007 (approx. 2 weeks), the site showed 28 pages indexed by Google (see Antiques, Collectibles & Auction News site pages indexed on Google) and Yahoo! showed approximately 280 webpages outside of the Antiques, Collectibles and Auction News site with links pointing to at least one of its pages.

These types of results are achievable through diligence and a planned rollout of your business website. The above referenced website is a news blog with no pre-existing content, limited resources and limited staffing.

We shall keep an eye on the progress of this site to demonstrate how a site can succeed on a limited budget with a focus on search engine optimization to include quality content for its readership.
