Hi, after AMR blast my site moved from place 4 to 550. Site is 8 months old. Any help?
Thanks in Advance.
Link velocity is a big deal. If you're in a car, you can go 100 miles per hour no problem.
If you go from 0 to 100 in 1 second, you're dead.
If you go from 100 to 0 in 1 second, you're dead.
If you're going to ramp up a big link campaign, you have to ease into it. Give Google all the signs it needs to make sure your link campaign is being built properly.
If you haven't gotten any backlinks at all for 8 months, AND you haven't updated content in 8 months ... then add some new content and then start a blast of backlinks. Every huge backlink campaign should be associated with a site update of content.
This makes it look natural to Google. Google thinks, "Why is this website all the sudden getting new backlinks? Oh, it just updated its content. Well that content must be pretty fantastic."
You need to maintain your velocity. Its best to ease into big backlinks.
You should ...
1) Introduce 1 page of new content.
2) Backlink to your website with 10% of the backlinks of the full blast you want to work up to.
3) One week later, introduce 3 pages of new content.
4) Backlink to your website (new pages) with 40% of the backlinks of the full blast you want to work up to.
5) One week later, add 3 pages of content.
6) Backlink to your website (new pages) with 80% of the backlinks you want to work up to.
7) Approximately one month after your website has received its new content, blast links to every page at the full strength you want to continually link to your website.
8) Keep on going and never stop -- get consistent backlinks at the same volume, from a variety of sources (web 2.0s, AMR, quality blog comments -- and if you feel brave enough you could try scrapebox and xrumer, but do those consistently with a drip feed as well.
That's just one way to provide what would be considered a more natural linkbuilding type of campaign. It gives Google reason to believe that people would want to link to you (the new content) and it gives Google evidence that the linking is natural (backlinks are consistent and do not fluctuate).
I also noticed you mention that you only got an AMR update. You should get backlinks from a variety of places -- just one source doesn't work too well. Article directories, AMR, linkwheels, web2.0s, quality blog comments, you should make the sources of your links come from a wide variety of sources.
Sorry for the big guide, didn't see that you mentioned how quickly you added your backlinks, whether you got many different sources of backlinks, whether you continued your backlink campain and just stopped or if it was consistent, so I thought I'd just lay out a general guide and you can decide for yourself whether it may be of help.
By the way, I've had badly penalized websites before. But I've never had penalized sites using the above linking patterns. And I do xrumer and scrapebox blasts directly to my money site (with slight google dancing, but overall increases in traffic).
