Google honeymoon period what is it? Firstly this is an unofficial term that explains what happens to a new website in the first 3-6 months. Having been found by Google the search engine will randomly, not enough data to validate to establish a pattern, place your web pages in really good positions for a variety of keywords that match your content. It does this to give you a boost to see how it does.

What it is looking for is how many link to your content you get having exposed it into a high traffic stream. From that it will determine your natural page rank.

So expect your website to appear and disappear quite often in the first 3-6 months. Do not lose heart when you think you have made it and then lose good search placements again it is normal.  What you need to be doing is working hard to create links to your website that are related to your content. It is very tempting at this stage to fall for a link building site / company. Resist the temptation as these options will not get the results you want. See back link seo.

The best way to start building links is to engage in social networking Twitter, Facebook etc are obvious and should be used.  The best things about those is that you set them to update each other.  But there are others.  Seek out specific forums related to your business, set up an account and engage with the community.

Of course you should ask your suppliers for a link and also explore those in the same business but outside of your area of business so you are not competing with each other.

The honeymoon period, the first 6 months, is the perfect time to work on gaining links / increasing your authority.  the work you put in during that time will pay dividends long into the future.
