When you really get ready to use the site, then you should tweak it for search.

For example, I have a new site I put up for doing wedding videos, it's only been up for a few weeks, but already if you Google or Bing "fayetteville nc wedding videos" or "fayetteville nc wedding videographer", or anything like that, I'm already near the the top of page 1 results.

my site is »dibbvids.com that I'm talking about.

It has little or no bearing on what search engines think of a *site*. SEs don't give a hoot about the domain name...they only look at what is published under it.

Something simple like "NEWDOMAIN.com is a member of the garytoh family of web-sites" or something simple like that.

Whether putting it live now with very generic content or not would help rankings, it depends I think...

When an engine finds your site, how does it rate the site in domain name and content? If sparse and largely irrelevant content is found, does that hurt more than help?
I don't think so, but can't say for sure.

IMO, you should put the sites up with at least one page of a decent amount of relevant content. For the few website side-jobs I get, I put together the design and front page - at least a couple paragraphs and named images.

I then upload that first to get the site on the search engine's radar radar while I build out the rest of the site locally then get that in place when all set.

I don't use 'under construction' animated gifs ;-)

Perhaps at worst, someone finds the site and finds it unhelpful...but I'd hazard getting the site up sooner than later is more important.

For example, I have some domain names registered that I plan to use in the future. Is there any advantage to putting up a "placeholder" website on the domain to help its age? Something like:

"Welcome to World of Planets. This site is in the design process and will eventually contain all sorts of information on planets. Thanks for stopping by."

I'm having trouble understanding if the search engines distinguish between when the domain was registered with iCann, versus when it was put into active use on the web.
