New niche tube site and google

[Justin_Jay]

About a month ago I launched my first niche tube site. Domain was registered in the beginning of October, and site launched (and sitemap submitted to Search Console) in the middle of October. So a little more than a month ago. I am building some links to it (some directories, reddit and whoever scrapes from reddit), I am posting content regularly (unique titles and more or less unique descriptions, at least Copyscape doesn't find anything). But somehow I am still getting almost no traffic from google. Search console doesn't show any errors or issues. Also, that small amount of traffic that comes from google is showing really good metrics (20% bounce, 10 pages per session)

As for rankings, even when I search "mydomainname" I am not in the first page. My domain name is 3 keyword phrase, quite popular in my niche, so I guess it makes sense that it is outranked by that phrase still. My site has DA 7 and TJ 18 only so far, as it's still new.

I totally understand that it's a new site and it will take some time to start getting more traffic from Google. But what I am really curious is roughly how much time? Tube site owners, can you please tell me how long it took you? Especially those owners who launched their tubes sometime recently.

Thank you very much in advance.

Allow at least 3 months, and even then your ranking can be quite unstable. Keep updating your site with fresh & unique content... Google will notice people are returning to your site or even bookmarking it which is a big plus and probably one of the important ranking factors. Do proper link building-get valuable links from the sites that are in the same niche (or close).

Most other tubes and sharing sites with a lot stronger rank will take your content and get positioned on page 1. Even ahead of your domain. That will likely not change, tubes in general are " vultures" on other tubes. It is akin to going to rob a bank and finding out there are 1000s of robers already waiting.... so get in line... Same applies to cams,dating, mining cryptos and other phoney web sites...

...but good luck

my site is a bit older then yours but mine still gets nearly 0 traffic from google, try to focus on other search engines like bing, yandex, duckduckgo ...

my site for example got ranked on yandex for a keyword and since i update this particular section i get more and more traffic and ranking

sure yandex is mainly russian, turkish and general asian traffic but still i get around 200 users a day and every 2-3 weeks i get around 50-100 more

i hope that google some time will recognize my site as well and i can start grow my traffic

bounce rate is 30% and ppl spend 4:30mins on my site in general so i guess that my site has quality

So the only way to make some (even small) $ from tube is to buy aged domain?

Nowadays domain age isn't that important when it comes to SEO. Not much difference if you launch a site on a newly registered domain or on an aged domain that was just parked before.

submitting to a few directories and making reddit posts isn't anywhere near enough to get a site ranked

you're gonna have to be more aggressive and work harder (or spend more). your competition is doing shit like, launching 4 slightly different sites all at once, and using different link building strategies on all of them, to see what works. While spending $x,xxx per month on links. You know the saying, "adult is where the big boys play"

I've seen that google will send a minimal amount of traffic for the first month no matter what you do, then a small bit more for another month or two, and then if they're really gonna pick up your site sometime around 3 months you start seeing real gains.

I prefer (and have ranked) fresh domains for any tube, simply because I don't want anything the domain might have done in the past to negatively affect Google's opinion of my site, or the information that I learn about what works after every SEO campaign I run.

Aged domains are for link-building IMO, not money sites
