Although proper search optimization is a continued process that takes much time and effort, if you practice good and ethical SEO techniques you can see your listings at high placement from Day One. Mind you, I have never seen a Top Ten site at launch date for any sought after keyphrase, so don't set your bar too high.
By producing a good amount of content and link partners prior to your site submission, you can start out in a high "pole position". This immediate traffic is always an inspiration to an investment and we know that is what you are really looking for here.Here is one of our newest sites right after it's launch date. As you can see, there has been 54 visitors since it's launch date of December 8th, 2008 until this article written on Dec. 15, 2008 - (THE FIRST WEEK). Visitors are spending an average of 8 MINUTES on this site, and are viewing an average of 4 pages. 37% of those visitors are new, while there is already a 65% return visitor stat. This is due to a client login feature I assume. I am not at liberty to disclose the client here, but I can say that they are a Cincinnati local dry cleaning business and are thrilled with the results. I just spoke with the client yesterday, who told me he is already receiving new customers from his website and he knows that because he asks every time he sees a new face, "where you hear about us today". He also tells me that his new account management tools are a hit.
