Nice jump from the original +9 positions. Could still just be a part of the google dance.

With a bit of luck, my friend (in real life) is a mod on some other Blackhat forum and they had it in their vip section.

I don't think so. There is no way it is an auto approve list of 5 million blogs as I have already tried to impress upon you. Not 5 million auto approve blogs, not 5 million auto approve blog pages, nothing like that. I simply don't believe there is 5 million auto approve blog pages compatible with scrapebox in existence.

I already have a hardtime coming up with 10.000 unique domains for scrapebox to post on (autoapprove ones), and at the moment my list is like 4k unique domains. Somehow I'm scraping the same domains all the time cause of the 1000 results limit and the single keywords that I use for scraping.

It may just be a compiled list of blogs that have had higher success rates. Either way, there's only one way to try it out.

Yes I understand, and I am not trying to be rude, but it just completely changes the test. If you aren't even checking how many links get approved, and then taking those lists and Pinging those pages, then you aren't optimizing your test. As I said, I did the test for 3 weeks and didn't even get 150,000 links indexed by Google. The title is blasting 5 million backlinks, if you are just going to comment on 5 million pages, you won't reach even 100,000 indexed by Google.

Did you ever check how many unique domains you had in the list?
Did you remember to remove all duplicate URLs before starting?

The list was sent in 10 parts. I compiled it and removed duplicate domains. I will check or for approvals and ping the pages after the blasts are complete.

The point of this study isn't to blast exactly 5 million backlinks, but to blast a huge number of backlinks (way more than normal) to a single site in a short period of time to see how google reacts.

If you are only using scrapebox, then 70+% of the links will have to be from the same domain, you will have no way of keeping track how many backlinks you have actually made, Google will not index all the links at once anyways, many of the links will already been deleted and deindexed before you get even 1/10th of the way through the test.

Not sure what else I can say here. I am sure it will be "interesting" to see the results anyways, but I doubt you will get anywhere close to even 500k live links at any given time, and those will not all be indexed, and that includes spamming the same domains over and over. I have hit scrapebox as hard as I possibly could for 3 weeks non-stop 24/7 and only got up to 132,000 backlinks indexed by Google, and I simply ran out of domains to blast to.

Glad I read the thread before I posted. I was going to say the same thing. This is exactly why I wonder why people freak out when you say you are doing a massive blast. They aren't all going to be indexed immediately and they all aren't going to show up. If you let Google do its thing it will take some time before they all show up.

I have one site that I have been steadily blasting since it was a BRAND NEW domain for the past six months and I have 193,739 links, from a 133 domains, to my site according to G-Webmaster. Are a lot of them from my own blog networks yes, but I didn't do anything to get the links indexed. I just let Google do its thing.

Right now I rank number 2 for an off keyword (my competitor is number 3) and I rank number 16 for my main keyword. Google Keyword Tool says that is is a medium competition keyword.

Just my two cents.

Sweet, Subscribed.

Very interested in your outcome!

Ok, last thing. As I tried to explain before, you can't wait until the end and then ping, because a lot of the backlinks will have already been deleted or bumped off the front page, and scrapebox won't be able to find the links because scrapebox just checks the front page for the link.

So if you do just wait until the end, you are losing probably 1/3rd of the possible backlinks you could have used for the test. In fact, you might actually end up losing links which Google already indexed because you will be telling Google to check the pages again, and they will see your link is gone.

I guess we will just have to wait and see how many live links you end up indexed in Google, but I don't think it will end up being anything out of the ordinary to be honest.

I appreciate your input. I'll try my best to report as accurately as possible.

Interesting case study... I'll definitely subscribe to this one.

A very odd thing happened. In the search results, my site now shows SiteURL.com in the title spot, instead of what is in my <title> tag. Very weird, but rankings have increased.

@impulse

1. Did you ping the links?

2. Can you please run the domain that you are testing in ahrefs.com

and list the following data. I would really appreciate it

Total backlinks:
Ref IPs:
Ref subnets:
Ref domains:
nofollow:

 

[geniusmark]

just all spammy links direct to money site ? hmm..

 

[criticalmess]

Thanks for the updates and test!

Can you estimate how much $$ this entire operation cost you?

 

[SOCOM]

Too many people are not reading the OP's first post. He does not care if you think it's a bad idea. He's running a test. Stop trying to give him advice on what he should do instead of blasting his money site because he doesn't care, he's running a case study.
