Hi,
i'm not used to speaking here because i used to thinking that i had lots of thing to learn and not much to say. BHW was my first SEO forum and still is a premium source of information. I learnt lots of things here.
since i am french, several months ago, i tried french SEO forums which are pretty cool : www.seosphere.com www.discodog.fr/black-hattitude.
Discodog launched a black hat SEO contest from september 1st to november 2nd, no rulez, the winner would be the one whose website would have 1st rank on google.fr for the "black hattitude" query (with quotes).
That was my first contest, and i won. Mainly because of all the things i learnt here and on the two french SEO forums mentionned above.
Well, i wanted to thank you for all this forum and members taught me, and sharing my experience regarding this contest.
Among the contestants, there was a bunch of elite, e.g former members of sphereteam who won busby seo world contest 2008 ( http://www.sphereteam.com/ ).
the tools i used were : XRumer, Link Farm Evolution, PRstorm, Autopligg, and some homemade perl scripting.
I began the contest with a mininet of 7 websites dispatched on 7 diferrent class C ip adresses, built on a classic butterfly structure, and spammed forums and blogs with XRumer at 120 submissions/minute. Since i hadn't listened to XRumer team advices, the majority of these spams were quickly deleted (7 bl per message looks to spammy for websites owners)
Then, i used kinda "social engineering", posting messages containing only one backlink to one of the 7 websites above. those messages were content spinned. they were all saying things like "Hi, your blog/forum is awesome, blablabla "- bl only in signature.
The retension rate was much better then. each week i made sessions of REFERER spamming, backlinking the 7 websites, there were juice. i was keeping a rank among the top 10 contestants, almost never 1st to avoid negative SEO attempts or hacks.
2 weeks before the end, i did set up another wheel of 100 wpmu blogs, all of them backlinking the 7 websites, gave them juice with REFERER spamming to death and lots of Pligg comments with Autopligg. I held rank 3 with 8500 backlink to my main site, the link building was ready.
then, on october 28th i posted 7 pligg stories, each story pointing to one of the 7 first websites, spammed 2000+ high PR pligg hosts with Autopligg and got the first place within 24 hours, thas was a kind of ultimate strike at a time where contestants were the most agressive : the last week's final sprint. During the 5 last days, when i gained 1st place, no one was able to figure out how i did this, i had been hidden behind the 2 or 3 constants who were fighting for 1st place all the time.
when i think back to this story, i remember a lot of bad comments on some tools here e.g. XRumer which wouldn't be so powerful and Autopligg which would be shitty.
I saw that, badly used, some tools don't give any result. In this case, I assumed the mistake was situated between the chair and the keyboard.
I wanted to share this with you to let you know how i properly used those tools, and to confirm that link farm evolution, xrumer and Autopligg are killer ones.
Finaly, my main website has grown PR 4 within two months, 1st place on google.fr "black hattitude" query, 1st place on google's caffeine, 1st on bing and 30 big search engines.
4 of the 7 websites are in bing #1 page for this request, a decent alexa ranking, main site appears in "google suggestion" for this query. nice ^^
Thank you if you took the time to read this whole post and sorry for my bad english.
See ya,
