      It completely depends on your site and the competition.

      For example, if you're trying to complete for "super duper elephant lamp" then you can be on page 1 within a week. Frankly, you could probably have the #1 result in a week.

      However, for a keyword like "lamp" you'd have a lot more trouble getting on that first page.

      Basically, without looking into your specific niche, there's no way to give an educated answer.

      PS If anyone reading this happens to go into the "super duper elephant lamp" business then I expect to be paid royalties :).

          Seeing that there are only ten positions on the first page of google, your chances are not good.

            So simply put based on the amazing responses here, I would suggest to build your site (whatever your niche is) with long tail keywords, continue to build great content, and then over a certain period of time, once you have established a certain trust and domain authority, you could start ranking for a little bit better keywords and the cycle continues. It's simply a continuous process building a site and it's rankings. You would not want a brand new site with 5/10/50 articles ranking for Mortgage or Lamps or Cars or Loans.

            I hope that helps and makes sense.

              hello,

              my website ranked in one month for "web design" in google.gr. It depends on quality and fresh content, content is king!

                The industry is tickets - sports tickets mainly - nfl so they would be team related websites.

                Content would basically be blogs about the current news and analysis of players/games.

                  My guess is that is going to be a tough one to start with nothing unless you've got something really great to add that is not already out there. Look at your keywords and look at the competition, then look at your content. Is your content better than what is already on the first page?

                  Do people looking for tickets care about current news and analysis, or do they care about tickets? Does your content match what your buyer wants to find?

                    When you said long tail keywords -

                    I have recently begun with my content and keyword selections.

                    I used the Adword's keyword tool and for eg: got a few keywords like

                    laser skin treatment

                    dermatology

                    dermatologists

                    cosmetic laser surgery

                    The competition for these are low and medium. Now what I understand is. If I wish to use them in my articles on content generation I can have them as medium and long tail keywords to write around.

                    So for eg: laser skin treatment   = " Benefits of a laser skin treatment in India" and the url for this article could be /laser-skin-treatment

                    For dermatology = "best dermatology practices"  url could be** /dermatology-practices**

                    Do the above  happen to be the medium and long tail keywords? Am I going in the correct direction. How do I judge and come out with medium and long tail keywords. Please suggest

                    Thanks

                      Well for example there is Stubhub.com

                      How do sites get ranked for E-Com?

                      Putting out good content rather than posting on your own site?

                        Would starting a new site with sport tickets news and linking off that help?
