New Domain Page 7 Google but Page 1 Bing & Yahoo

[TrevorJones]

Hi just wondered what other people's experience is with a new domain.

Basically have a client with a domain registered end of May this year, so less than 3 months old!

The site ranks for his keyword choice (not very competitive), which is in the domain name. For me I'm not at all surprised with Google's low ranking after such a short period but quite surprsied to see it ranking page 1 on Bing and Yahoo.

No seo work has been done yet and there are no inbound links.

Anyone else have experience of this? Should I be surprised or is that normal in the other two search engines?

Thanks in advance

Trevor

You kind of answer your question yoursefl here but in more detail you can expect for a domain with low traffic for it to rank pretty soon on Bing and Yahoo over Google in some cases.  I had the saem experience with a domain seo-cork.com which I registered some time ago slapped in a ton of not really rich in keyword posts and it ranked Page 2 on Google again with no inbound links or other types of SEO.

I would try some other combinations on the site for other keywords and see what falls out.  But ultimatly don't sweat this if the keywords in question aren't going to generate clicks for y ou.

Hi Kieran

Thanks for the reply. My question, rather badly worded perhaps, was whether it's normal for a new site to be ranked much higher (in this case page 1) in Bing and Yahoo but much lower (this case page 7) in Google.

Thanks again.

Cheers

No problem I often look at questions and posts I do and wonder if English is even my first language

Short answer is yes as they both use different algorithms.
