Hey everyone, I’m new here and a developer working on ranking my own website.

I’ve noticed some sites hit the top 10 search results within just a week, which honestly makes me wonder — are they using any unethical or black-hat methods to get there that fast?

Also, is there a proven ethical (white-hat) way to achieve such quick rankings, or is that speed only possible with shortcuts?

Would love to hear your thoughts and real experiences.

If a new website is ranking on the first page within a week then it is most definitely in a NON ethical way.

Whitehat is better for long term but of course it takes longer.

So it all depends on your patience and goals :)

at least in Google's eye.

For a new website this is nearly impossible as it takes sometime to get indexed the home page only.

Even in a non ethical way it is nearly impossible to rank a website in a competitive niche. (as none would try to rank a non competitive keywords within week)

I agree, faster rankings probably have some kind of boost behind them. I’m aiming for a long-term project, so white-hat feels safer… but I’m definitely curious about the exact tricks people use to hit page one so fast. Anyone here willing to share some insights — even if just for educational purposes?
 
Possible

If u are lucky and find low competition high volume keywords

I know how to find low competiion high volume keywords, get them ranked.

But my article sucks maybe. after 3 -4 weeks they get de ranked.
 
Yes, sometimes people use black-hat methods to rank fast, but it is not good for long term. White-hat methods take time, but they are better for sustainable rankings and reputation. Keep working hard and focus on quality content and SEO techniques. Good luck!

Never possible, and it would be harful for further use, because it would be unethyical method, that is not so good, also may ban as well.
