some newly launched, single-page websites that are only a few days old have ranked first for competitive keywords.
in their source code, there is a <link rel="canonical" href="https://www.xxx.com/"> pointing to a different website.
is it really that easy to do this? can someone wth knowledge teach me?

We really need someone brave enough to share what they know!

i think yes. user-focused content + solid on-page SEO, real backlinks (PR/guest posts), fast mobile pages, and targeting low-competition long-tail keywords.
 
Short answer is no, it’s not that easy, and it usually doesn’t last.

What you’re seeing is almost always a temporary glitch or test where Google gets confused by canonicals, freshness, or entity signals. Sometimes a new page ranks briefly because Google hasn’t fully processed the canonical relationship yet. Once it does, the ranking usually collapses or gets reassigned to the canonical target. Intentionally abusing canonicals to hijack rankings is unreliable and risky. At best it works for a short window, at worst it gets ignored or flagged. Anyone claiming this is a repeatable tactic is either leaving out key context or cherry-picking screenshots.
 
Possible, especially if you don't rely too much on SEO, remember, there is social media to bring traffic too
 
They may be using an old domain that already had keyword rankings from before and rebuilding the content on it.
 
New sites can rank briefly due to freshness or unprocessed canonicals, but it rarely lasts. Long-term rankings still come from authority and trust.
 
I don't think its easy especially in the AI era.

Sure, its possible for a very new site suddenly gets a lot of traffic, but its only possible with : 1) algo slip, means Google made a mistake and some websites unreasonably ranked. 2) a new domain got a very strong link or mention from a very big authority place like Forbes, CNN.

Except those, a newly domain can still rank very quick, its possible, but it won't get a lot of traffic.
 
> is it really that easy to do this?

the only time this was "easy" was when google was in "beta".

back then when websites would still do: "INSERT INTO $_GET['table']"

> New sites can rank briefly due to freshness or unprocessed canonicals, but it rarely lasts. Long-term rankings still come from authority and trust.

I truly believe this is also done on purpose to validate through actual user behavior the "quality" of the website.
 
Yes, 100%.

For instance, around 24 hours ago, I wrote and posted a blog post on the Servury website, posted the article on HackerNews and Reddit, used the feedback in HackerNews to improve the platform overall, and reached first page #1 for a few hours on HackerNews, here's the SEO overview of my site now :

So yes, it is entirely possible, simply create high quality content, post it around in sites relevant to your niche, and wish for the best.
 
New sites can sometimes rank quickly, but it usually happens because of strong SEO, content quality, and clever tactics, not just using canonical links.
 
Possible but you need to make good posts and to work in your site seo
 
No, it’s not a “magic trick” and it’s not a safe way to rank.
 
What you’re seeing isn’t a canonical trick you can safely copy, it’s Google being temporarily confused. Canonicals don’t transfer rankings like redirects. Those pages rank briefly because of other signals as expired domains, links, freshness, crawl timing, not because of the canonical itself
 
No, it's not a trick, Google ignores canonical links when it doesn't trust them. Instead it ranks the page on its own.
