Why my site ranked 3 already in such a short time?

This site, overscaled.com, is only 3-week-old, even the domain is not older than 2 months either as I am writing this post today, but why the site’s page rank on Google already hit 3? What special thing I did on this site that made this happen so quick in such a short time?

There are many sites over on the web talk about Page Rank and how it works and how to get a higher rank. But none of them makes any sense to me why it gets 3 on a site that is only 2-week-old and never done any SEO on it.

One possible logical thinking top in my head is that it may be something to do my overscaled page on twitter which is ranked even higher at 4 on Google right now. Twitter recently changed its title tags that may in result get ranks higher for your twitter name. And searching for the keyword “Overscaled” has both this site and my twitter page listed on the first page. So that got me to believe that having the keyword “Overscaled” as part of my domain somehow makes Google to think the relationship between this site and my higher ranked twitter page, which helped getting higher rank in result.

That makes to believe that keywords in URL weight much more in ranking than in page self. And it doesn’t seem to matter whether the keywords are part of the domain name or the URL, as long as they show up in the address bar, which is also why I recommended choosing the “Month and Name” as the permalinks setting for your blog in my last post, a checklist of preparing a working WorkPress blog.

And that also proves that social media websites do help in some way when it comes to SEO. Time I spent on twitter for the last couple of month somehow got paid off in some way, if my possible logical thinking is right.
