90 days for Google

[pureozone]

Hi,

I'm new to Moz so still getting a feel of the forums. If my question has been answered then please point me in the right direction.

I have noticed with many SEO companies they advertise that they can get you on google front page in 90 days. I'm not really interested in their techniques but more of why google takes 90+ to even appear.

I have been working on my site for over a month, adding content, building good links, social media, blogs etc... but have not even come close to appearing in the top 50 pages for google. Is this normal? Is it just a matter of time before it starts to appear?

Also, I have checked my backlinks and there is about 8 links that are coming from random pages in the US and some from China and india which i have no idea of. I tried to visit on of the sites but it had malware. I added all these back links to google disavow so hopefully that will fix it. Could that be the reason google would not even list my site?

Thanks...

Rick

Most sites say 90 days but the small print is that they will get you on page one for your brand name not your #1 key term or they will get a Google local page for you and get you ranking that way.

It can take a while to rank well, depending on the keyphrases it can take years, and for the very long tail stuff just a few days/weeks.

Links are still very important and you need to create good quality content on your site and then let sites that would be interested in knowing about that aware of it in the hope they will link to you.

Be careful with your link building, Google is dishing out penalties left right and center.

Get a link in some big directories like dmoz and yahoo. Get a facbook profile and twitter, Google loves social as well. Try to update them once a week. Even with just a small post.

Write good content and interlink where possible to create a good internal flow. (don't over do it)

It all takes time but all of a sudden it just happens and you start ranking well.
