3 Strong Links to new site, How long to rank for my first term?

[joer80]

I just launched a new website about 5 days ago. I have had 3 pretty strong links for all 5 days pointing to me. How long do you think it will take me to be ranked for a long tail keyword in the big 3 search engines?

The 2 of the 3 websites are high traffic, so I know the links have been found. Just not sure how long until I can expect my first placement for a search term.

Thanks!

depends on the term competitiveness. is your site cached yet? are the links cached yet?

how are you defining "strong" links?

One is a homepage link on a site with 8,000 unique visitors a day, pr5, another is a homepage link with 1,000 a day

I am asking about any non competitive long tail term just to prove I am in the mix.

last cache done is a week and a half old. So im gonna guess it was 2 weeks ago that I uploaded the site. I was thinking it was more like 1 week. :P

My main question is what is the delay for ranking now a days

Thanks!

That homepage cache I told you about that was 2 weeks old was an out dated one. I was correct, the site in question has only been live for like 1 week, not 2.

I had the domain name I am using setup to redirect to another domain name so the page looked the same, but the cache was the other domain. It just looked the same because I moved the site to this domain name.

So here is a chart.

Domain A (Old one)
Domain B (New one)

Domain B redirected to Domain A up to a week ago. I just recently sold domain A, took down the content and uploaded my site to Domain B.

Now I am ranking Domain B from scratch with 3 links. It has been live for 1 week, and already has a new Page rank of 4.

It should be interesting.

I got my page rank on Domain B before the cache was updated. (Domain B's homepage cache still shows Domain A)

(Even though, Domain B has a page rank 4, and 3 links, I dont rank for any search terms yet.) I am curious how long it will take.

More info:

As of right now, a search for domainnameb.com in google actually brings up both websites. the domaina and domainb, so it looks like to me, the redirect hasnt completely gone away yet. I think that will have to happen first to get any rankings to the new url since Google still thinks they are related.

If I search for the title of a page in quotation marks, just the old site comes up. (Even though the title/content has since changed on the old site.)
