Are links really important?
Not at all. It’s nothing new, but keywords in domain name are awesome. My new a 35 days old autogen website is ranking #17 for its main keyword out of 32 millions. Only 100+ pages in index and less than 10 links, all bookmarks. Damn good, isn’t it?
Bullshit you say? OK then what about a 25 days old whitehat (unique contents & design) blog ranking #20+ for its main keyword out of 8.6 millions? Again, few bookmarks, 80+ pages in index, and, the most important factor, main keyword in domain name.
Where must be some kind of trick? You right. You can make your beast get ranks faster. Won’t tell you all the details, but YouTube, Wikipedia, sub domains, trusted competitors’ websites and daily posting will help it. BUT, after you get some good domains.
BTW, I would move 3 -> 1.
P.S.: Another autogenny baby keeps going up. Same techniques.

yes, off course the links are really important. The link shows the popularity of your site. If more and more sites get links to your site then you will see that there will be a bunch of traffic coming toward your site….

You can’t exactly discount the importance of links just because good domain names have gotten sub-par rankings quickly. It’s not like you’ll actually get traffic ranking at #17-20. It’s the links that will push that site up into the top 3-5 where the real traffic is at.

It seems like this post was purposely controversial. Anyone involved in internet marketing knows that links are important. It is the biggest factor in getting search engine rankings. In the early days of search engines, you could get great rankings just by having a website that is optimized just right. These days, you have to establish trust and authority in other ways. Links are the best ways to establish that authority.

I usually use keywords in domain name (especially creating free hosted blogs). But before you have to estimate the niche – because some are to competitive

Even a sandboxed domain can rank for its own keywords. So yes I can believe that you can rank with just a few links.

Are links really important? Links and back-links of high text quality are vital for a good ranking webpage.
Getting in touch with one’s competitors or sites with relevant content may require you good nerves or a good agency to help..

The keyword is the domain is definitely important, but if you combine it with awesome backlinks, you have a lethal combination
Till then,

I believe you seozero, keyword domains rank extremely well. But I do also think that you will need to build some high PR links to get past the 2nd page.

I find links help alot but if you do a little of everything you can’t really go wrong

Of course content is king but that doesn’t mean links are useless.I also have a number of high ranking pages with a tenth of the links but I simply have more h1 tags and content.

Yep, you are completely right about keywords in the domain!! It works like a charm but you need to have links as well(good ones). Google will tell you something else but it’s Google….

I am a bit skeptical, I think links are really important especially long tail ones. there is always a way to get juice quickly but doing it correctly so that it has a long tail affect as well is an art!

That is great rankings for a new site, I guess keyword in domain really does help.
