Exactly what's happening to me right now. Ranked first page, then dropped slightly to #2. What you need to do now is keep the links going. It will crawl back up eventually, no more spikes.
I'm only extrapolating from my own experience, so if anyone else disagrees with what I've just said, go ahead and say it![]()
I never stop backlinking sites (either into the tiers or directly from high PR blogs)
I farm about 300 AA PR >2 blogs/day atm and I am using them on this site in between campaigns to keep a nice, stable, 300-500/day of backlinks coming in.
I used to be worried about scrapeboxing, mostly because the harvester sucks. But since I found another, highly effective way to find unspammed blogs I've had extremely good success scrapebox blasting new sites... If you keep the links steady for about a month, the website will get it's #1 spots (for certain, non-crazy niches).
I'm not sure WHY google keeps messing with SEOers that attempt to build highly useful link pyramids, but they seem to enjoy it. Blog comment spam is still #1 and seems to be the driving force behind most people's top positions in lucrative niches.
When google counts these structures, they cannot be beat in their effectiveness. But it seems like google just CHOOSES when it will give you the juice and when it won't.
keyword atm is [130,000] searches per month (exact) and the top sites have around 25,000 backlinks (blog comment spam mostly). My site was ranking top 10 with only 300 backlinks prior to this issue. I've done another keyword with even MORE exact searches with 2 more campaigns since the 23rd and google hasn't even ranked the site for that keyword at all (not in the top 500).
I am of the impression that google's panda update did nothing but promote spam.
Likewise, I notice when you do that final campaign push to top 3 spots for very competitive niches (full green bar and >100k exact searches in google tool) google delays the recalc/juice even longer. It's happened on all 6 websites that I've gotten into the top 2 so far for various keywords.
Most the web 2.0s I've made have authority levels in the 60s-70s in majesticseo. Yet, google sometimes just delays and delays and delays counting them.
