quoted from a post on another webmmaster forum:
-----------------------------------------------------
I made the mistake in February of launching some new sites and assuming Google would index them and rank them along with what I'd come to expect from such SEO skills as I possess. I've done pretty well in the past.
BIG MISTAKE!. Google now penalizes new sites. Take a look at http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum78/4722.htm
While new sites are indexed, it seems its impossible to get a new site to rank well.
So, I've taken simply to adding to existing sites until this is cleared up. Seems there's no problem obtaining ranking when adding pages to sites that had ranking before the first of this year.
This should cut out newbies from being a much of a factor in our market, given the fact that Google will dump adwords for pharmacy sites after mid May. Then the only competition from advertising will be from Drugstore.Com and their ilk. Those established with decent SEO from older sites may well benefit.
Thoughts anyone?
