Themes and AV. Working big time. The problem I've had is knowing for certain just what is all going into the algo/success because we started a few months ago on fresh domains. We went from day one with straight themes. We did 100-120(somewhere in that range) pages of content directly at 8 keywords. They were quality pages moved from other domains.

We started submitting 10 pages at a time and letting them get indexed and have slowly moved up the ladder trying to figure out where AV is going to drop pages at. So far in two months we've put 75 of those pages into av and are drawing straight from the 8 keywords. And now that some link popularity is figuring in on those domains, it is getting difficult to say for proof positive what is causing the success. Each domain has hit top ten atleast once and others are in the page 2-3 range consistantly.

I'm trying to resist playing too much since those are pretty competitive categories. For now, we are just leaving them alone aside from a couple submissions a week. I think it is important to do atleast a couple submissions from the same domain per week. Seems like AV gives you a 'freshness' boost if it finds new pages on your site.
