That's just not true... google can't say if I paid for links. I have links from big sites for free. And I also have many links from free platforms and I see no wrath from google. Quite the opposite... after updates most of the comments are "no links" or "bought "high quality" blog posts or niche edits".
I understand sellers advertising this nonsense to sell crappy blog posts but it's not really how it works.
But year... 60k links... damn.
And I, personally, think google disavow tool is shit and does nothing.

Sure.. I still remember the days when I had 4 sites in "electric toothbrush" niche. Most of them ranked damn well on the first page. Good days!!! Unfortunately, authorities completley "destroyed" the niche.
Honestly speaking I'm not obsessed with rankings than I used to be years ago. Sooner or later I will rank on the first page.. with HQ articles and backlins for sure!

they can't indeed. But that doesn't mean that they're not actively trying to find out and take you down when they do. And the links you are having from big sites are probably profile links, not contextual backlinks in guest posts. If you've managed to get such powerful backlinks you are one of the lucky SEOers who has money or the necessary connections to acquire those backlinks, in which case my comments don't refer to you. I'm usually trying to open up the eyes of the little guy, the beginners and the poor SEOers. Those are the people that I target with my comments, not the pros. I know that there are pro and rich SEOers on the forum who can rank lorem ipsum at a fingers' snap, but those are out of my league, so I don't care about them and their methods.
As for you having links from free platforms and seeing no wrath from google, that's because those links don't necessarily hurt your rankings, but they don't help either. If you rank a single page of a new domain name with those backlinks then that's because the keyword you are targeting with that page has no competition, not because of the backlinks.
Prove me wrong!

No they are not profile links.
I'll give you only 1 example... I have links (yes, plural) from benzinga (from ARTICLES). A great site and it ranks for a lot of keywords and yet, I paid $0 to get links there.
I have articles linking to my site ranking on the first/second page. All free.

They know more then you think. In the past, Google took an action against guestbooks, link directories, article directories, guest blogging networks (guestr, myblogguest), etc...5 years ago tons of backlink networks have been penalized. They do things manually..

Yup, we all learn one way or another. Sometimes we burn sites to the ground, but we all learn from what we do.

That's why I try to copy the links of my competitors.
If my competitor ranks with abc links then I'll rank with them as well.

60k backlinks doesn't matter. Take care of quality content(hand written article), do follow backlinks with RD 500+ including drip-feed option. Choose the site with low spam score. 60k backlinks within this short period of time is really a huge mistake. It's better to choose RGP service if you're looking for traffic.

Hey buddy!
Building that much links in this short span of time really sucks.
If you are ready to spend another quality time investing in your site to rank higher, sure this will help you

There is a strategy for month by month process of link building.
Best wishes.

never heard of that site, so it's not big brand / authority. Amazon is a big brand because everyone has heard of it. Benzinga? Not at all!. And you must have had the right connections to get backlinks from there, something that newbie SEOers will almost never have. But... kudos to you for getting that backlink
yep!

Are you using any SEO plugins? If not, and because you're pretty noobish, I would say install Yoast. Although I prefer to optimize manually, for newer users I definitely advise something like Yoast or Rank Math. I have a site I recently did a test on with Yoast. I wanted to see if it had an impact on sites where users didn't know how to manually optimze it. So I tested on a site that had been up for years but never really ranked for anything. As soon as I installed Yoast it boosted my rank due to making the site more crawlable, adding knowledge graph, fixing canonical errors, and creating a site map. I used screaming frog on static sites typically.
On another note you may have killed your site with those links. But it really depends on the quality, and I Imagine you bought "packages" of links. I don't see any other legitimate way you'd have that many links. And these link packages are trash. All of them. Anyone thats selling you a "diversity package" or anything they've nicknamed it nowadays, stay the fuck away. I've ruined sites using these diversity packages on BHW. Focus on high quality links. High quality cost anywhere from $100-$300 per link if you're buying. Or you could learn how to do outreach.

You should also have some "submitted and indexed" there, what is that number?
Or anything beside the above URLs, that is labelled as "valid" in the first column, not "excluded".
Those that are "valid" are accepted by Google, those that are "excluded" are guess what.
You mention you have 14 products indexed, they all should be labeled "valid" in the first column. I also presume you have some pages like "about us", "terms of use" "privacy policy" and some informative content (e.g. blog) beside the product pages...
