royalmice, much tanks and rep!!
for all those that lurk this thread this will be an amazing case study. I registered a .org "seo" website about 3 weeks ago. Turns out i got lucky and the domain is already 3 years old and has a few backlinks already not many, roughly 80 or so.
Anyway just targeted 2 seo related terms, one local on generic, currently they are not listed in the top 100 results for either term i picked according to traffic travis, there is one article on the site, the rest are static pages describing the service as well as privacy, about, find us etc..
So we will see how well we do with this, i am going up against other seo guys here so if i can get some action on this i will be very impressed.
summary: site is something like this, my-seo.org, domain age 3 years, pr 0, 80 backlinks (have not done any linking), re-did the site today, 1 article on the blog portion of the site.
Targeting local term like "dallas seo" and another generic term like "great seo", currently not in the top 100 for either term.
All the info above is for illustrative purposes only, thats not the real url and those are not the real keywords i have targeted.
