Don't Sit on that Domain!

If you have just purchased a domain for a business that you are thinking about building in the future, don't sit on it! Make sure you build at least a basic site on that domain with some text about the topic of the business you are going to create - or better yet, build a blog there and post your thoughts and ideas about where you are going. When you are ready to finally launch, you will have already claimed a space on Google's index for your topic and can move up the rankings from there.

Website developers have observed that when Google first notices your site, it will take some time before your site starts to show up in the index. Look up the topics "aging delay" or "google sandbox" for some more insights.

So, don't wait until you launch your business to build a site on that domain. Just build something!

The Virtual Assistant I use for graphic design did not have the time to do this task for me, so I took a few hours and researched on the net and found out for myself. Now? I can add it to my list of services which means helping you with this sort of a task, or at least sharing the information in the form of a tip!
