New pages (websites) commonly rank well in the first 2-3 weeks of their existence. It is Google idea of having fresh content appear in the SERPs as quick as possible. If they find the this new page is growing at a normal or above normal rate with IBL's you can sometimes expect this brand new page stabilize in the rankings with pages that have been ranking for some time. If this new page is not acquiring relevant in-bound links you can expect the page to fall far, far, far down into the SERPs until it acquires them.
