The SERP Position of this domain seems impossible

Steven_D · 06-02-2008, 08:30 PM

I have been checking a competitors site, and they are placed first in google, yet their site has less than 8 indexed pages and less than 20 backlinks.

This is the search being done
http://www.google.co.nz/search?hl=en...l&start=0&sa=N

The top link is
dmail.co.nz which links to dmail.co.nz/index.php?paid=2

I am on page 3
http://www.google.co.nz/search?hl=en...&start=20&sa=N

and a few pages back dmail.co.nz is listed again under this url
dmail.co.nz/index.php?paid=3&PHPSESSID=0983bef77f333a2ec2a1ad2 502daea6e

the main sites the domain is listed on is
wises.co.nz
yellow.co.nz
nzs.com
nzcentral.com

the back links look like this
URL Google Yahoo! Live AllTheWeb AltaVista
dmail.co.nz 1 24 3 24 24

googlebot last accessed the site on the 30th May 2008

When I check the spider accessable text this is the result
about us portfolio client upload contact us Home Mailhouse Services Digital Printing Print Management Online Products Dmail Copyright 2006 All rights reserved { site design by brownpaperbag }

The site is only a PR3 which is very generous considering the back links.

This site ranks higher than nzpost.co.nz which has over 5000 back links most of them from governemnt / global postal associations.

http://www.smartpagerank.com/pageran...w.nzpost.co.nz

Nzpost is a pr6 with 4500 indexed pages.

There is something here that I am missing. dmail.co.nz has been at the top of the list for more than 30 days.

Im looking for a response similar to

They have done (specific technique here)

thanks

also brownpaperbag.co.nz (the site designer) has a PR5 despite only having 150 incomming links, from a total of 6 different websites (all their clients).

they have no listings on directories or anything else.

This is a sample on how powerful DOMAIN AGE was...

Steven_D · 06-04-2008, 07:10 PM

why was? they are still @ the top!

I did a global search with 84,000,000 results and they still come on the first page

You did not use a global search buddy.

In global search i dont see their site for the keyword direct mail

yah, domain age is a major factor how SE's ranks a particular website...

They might have a good keyword density and more targeted content than yours..

Steven_D · 06-05-2008, 05:11 AM

Do you think that if a company with more BL and more Indexed Pages purchased say 2 domains related to Direct Mail, and both domains were older and a 301 redirect was used, that you could quickly jump ahead?

morph07 you are right, google.co.nz comes up automatically for me even when I type google.com I always forget to click 'go to google.com'
