To rank a new site #1 for crit cards or debt consolidation. And they have $200,000 to spend..or even $2,000,000. We may able to get there for the short term but not with strategies that will stand the. Test of time. Of course, as I illustrat with the Nuts.com example on Search. EngineLand last month, the same strategy that works on a 14 year old domain may. Not be as effective for a newer site, even if you 301 that old domain. SEO is an art, not a science.
