    Advice needed.

    I have a few months to build a site selling products. I want it to gain high DA, Backlinks and Org. traffic. I know I have to build a well-structured, well-built, content-rich site. My problem is logistically, I will not be able to ship any products for 6 months as they will not be ready.

    How can I build a site full of content, and gain authority but not ship goods?

    I am thinking noindex the sales pages – hiding the online basket.

    Or getting people to a sales click and then hitting them with a Coming soon and lead capture form.

    These are my ideas, but all thoughts and feedback welcome.

    Follow normal SEO process like add keywords, Meta tags, content,

    Add a blog section on your website and start posting some trending topics there. Then keep promoting them on different channels in order to boost DA and to gain traffic.

    Add a zip code button to each product page. When a user will add zip code, notify them with a message “Out of stock for your location, please add your Gmail and we will get back to you with a solution asap”

    Do limited promotion of collection and product pages.

    Unless it’s a very low competition niche, I wouldn’t worry about having to ship products, it will take time to get the site ranking.

    Noindex won’t hide the pages for users, It just won’t allow Google to index them in search results which you don’t want anyway.

    I’d list products as out of stock and add a ‘subscribe for stock updates’ sort of thing.

    Forget DA, it’s a vague metric. Go for a handful of quality, relevant sites over many low quality sites.
