In late February of this year we launched http://www.VancouverPowerSearch.com/ from scratch and now four and a half months later we are ranked on the front page of Google for the terms Vancouver Real Estate and Vancouver BC Real Estate. This is pretty fast results given the normal sandbox period for a new domain. A few months back we were noticing that Google was starting to rank sites a bit faster with the same system we have been using for the last six years and we couldn't put our finger on exactly what was going on however our latest site seems to be benefiting from the faster ranking on Google plus an additional boost from potentially owning the domain for a significant time before actually using it. Right now its just a hypothesis, but it seems that using an existing domain, even one that wasn't being used before may shorten the length of time necessary to get it ranking highly. Of course our eventual goal is to be ranked #1 for search terms relating to Vancouver, but that may take a bit more time. I thought this would at least be a good domain to track if you would like to see our rankings increase for domains we are working with.
