SEO

Setting up a review for my new forum, roadtripforums

This site is almost brand new, however it alrdeady has a few pages indexed in google. I have a couple PR5 sites with deep PR throughout the sites that I linked it to and got it indexed a day after setting it up. Below are the starting numbers, should be fun watching a new site grow with this software.

indexed pages:

• google - 21 (0 vbseo pages)
• msn - 17 (0 vbseo pages)
• yahoo - 1 (0 vbseo pages)

Search engine traffic (Since site was set up on May 20, 2006) 5 days
1-2 of the google hits came from an adwords campaign.

• google - 5
• msn - 3
• yahoo - 0

Will add some other variables if they come to my mind.

yahoo - 1 page, 1 vbseo page
google - 27 pages, 0 vbseo pages
msn - 66 pages, 18 vbseo pages

Folks, this is the most amazing results of my 3 sites.
Bear in mind, this is a new forum, has not even been advertised in the slightest. I have a total of 50 posts in this forum, and very few threads. Normally, you have less pages indexed that posts, or at least I do. In this case, I have over double on google.

google - 121 pages indexed, 62 vbseo'd pages. How the hell did I do that with only 50 posts? For the record, so far this site has been getting indexed very quickly with google, and has had vbseo installed virtually since day one.

MSN - 204 pages indexed, 178 pages vbseo optimized. Again, how is this with only 50 posts?

Yahoo - 37 pages indexed, 33 pages vbseo'd. Yahoo isnt jumping on board as quickly so far, but I can live with that.

Folks, I am truly amazed with how this forum is doing. So far this month, I have received 11 hits from google and 13 from MSN. This is with no advertising, link exchanges other than my two sites so it would get picked up by search engines.

looking good

Update on google results: Forum now has just over 800 posts.

Now at 214 indexed pages, 155 are vbseo'd pages.

Loving the steady progress here.

Hi Michael,

If you missed it, you might be interested in the latest update on my site that had vbseo from scratch. It took about 4 months to get big referral #'s from G. I'm not 100% sure I've "made it" but the major increase in traffic has been consistent for about 3 weeks now. Hopefully it sticks.

I started out with just a few more links than you, maybe 10 good links within the 1st month. Traffic was a real roller coaster until mid June.

Good luck, Ross
