Today 19/10/2020, the test ended, unfortunately.
I have waited for enough to see the results. Unfortunately, this came to be a big disappointment as the 2.5 mil link led my website to its coffin. (LMAO) I expected it, tbh!
So, what happened? You ask.
Short but enough: Test started on 3rd July 2020 and ended today, 19/10/2020.
Why did it end?
My website was a sell-to-buyer kind of thing. I was offering some of my services in exchange for $. At the end of August, the links started affecting. My main keywords were so up in the SERPs that I began to rank even for more keywords.
Everything happened so fast. It was crazy! They went up-down, and so forth that I got freaking bored of it.
16th September or so, my ROI literally exploded, managed to sell, make some $, and enjoy a short vacation because of that matter.
Well, 8th October 2020, my website got removed from the SERPs, making it inefficient in all the ways. Of course, I've decided to delete it as there was no point for me even to try removing the penalty(Too lazy to ask, disavow, etc.)
My suggestion if you want to use this method:
- Use it on your tier 1/2 links. Why? It will pass the "juice," guaranteed.
- I wouldn't use public GSA SER lists!!!!
- Give it time; never USE this on your money site.
What have I learned?
- Nothing comes easy; everything comes through hard work. (Sad but true)
- I've gained more than I lost(Host + Domain; I write the content myself)
- I got penalized(more accurately, the website did)
- Try hard or go home!
My advice overall:
It was a great experience with downfalls, gains, and so much more. I will only advise you to use if you want a short term business(ROI).
