So, after weeks of playing around with GSA SER and no mentionable results, I figured it's porbably time to seek some advice.
I will describe my whole link building strategy as detailed as possible and provide you with all the neccessary details so you have all the information you need to be able to give me advice and help me figure out my problem.
My project:
Tools / resources used:
My link structure:
Nothing fancy, just your regular link pyramid. My tiers are contextual d0f0ll0w only and my secondary links consist of anything but contextual d0f0ll0w.
This is my engine selection + options for my CDFs
And this is for my Secondary Links
*Note: The lower the tier, the easier the filters (see very first picture for details).
My link building approach
Results
Now let's get to the reason why I'm here. My results aren't even bad, because that'd mean there are results. My results are pretty much non existent. These are the stats for my links I started building ~8 days ago.
My anchor cloud is a little messed up, but that's because I didn't go easy on the secondary links pointing directly at my blog (lots of chinese/japanese anchors and not that balanced) and I obviously wouldn't do this if this were my money site.
Out of ~70 keywords, not even one is ranked within Top100. I'm a little stumped to be honest, especially since I've read quite a lot of times that people have ranked their websites in easy competition niches only using a quality article, combined with a couple of pictures and no SEO whatsoever or people ranking their website within the top10 for easy keywords within 2-3 weeks. Don't get me wrong, I wasn't expecting skyrocketing SERP movements because some guy posted he ranked his website within days, but I haven't seen any movement at all, which is why I figured I'm probably doing something wrong.
I'd love to hear your opinions on this.
Just one thing - as you can see I've put a lot of time and effort into this to make this as easy for you as possible. All I'm asking in return is that you take some time, too and put some thought into your post.
Thanks in advance guys.

My project:
- easy competition keywords (2k - 8k exact searches)
- I'm using a parasite for this test project (wordpress)
- I'm only using GSA SER + social signals
- I've got decent on page SEO (my main article is ~400-500 words long and consists of rewritten bits of my competitors content)
- I use H1 and H2 tags and proper formatting
- I've filled the page with ~7 more pages of unrelated (ripped off) content to make the site appear 'alive'
- I've created a Twitter and FB profile and linked them to my website
- I've created and uploaded a YT video with links pointing to my website (google shortener is used)
Tools / resources used:
- GSA SER
- GSA SEO Indexer
- Incredible Indexer
- SpinRewriter
- My own verified link list (+ 1 bought list from SERLists)

My link building approach
- I didn't hold back on volume on any tier, since it's a parasite (usually I'd go very easy on T1 and T0A)
- As soon as my upper level links get verified I start building links to them
- I use spun content on all of my tiers
- On lower tiers I allow posting multiple times to the same URL, on T1 I don't
- While building links I sent ~1k Twitter retweets to the website
