My site was getting traction getting some decent traffic haven't bought any links for my site, then a friend says he will try to buy some links, so I said fk it what could go wrong without doing any research I searched for the best selling one thus I saw his service, bought it then puff down we go my traffic tanked really bad, I kept my backlinks clean but when I saw what was done holy crap man, I started disavowing all those links and I kept going down further to a point where I was when I made the site penalized bad, but I did no want to give up on the site, I saw what I was doing it worked and when I got those links I crashed, so I asked him to remove the links so he did, I was penalized for about 6 months only traffic was from my (social) shares 200 to 300 clicks from google only and there were days with 100, then when the penalty was lifted site started growing organically and lets say I went from position 40 to 4 in my niche, you can recover but it will take time a long long time, and the articles he made were crap they were spun to the point where they made no sense when reading something like Example: "Join with the pro
lose weight super stars to fun" keyword is "lose weight" what does that even mean, and his articles are like that just a cluster fk of words that make no sense and he inserts your keyword somewhere there where it just does not fit or makes sense, but I thought he knows what he's doing man was I wrong, and when I checked the report of the links some of his people while copy pasting the same article on a different sites there were places where they would paste 2x or 3x times the same article in the bio it was a cluster fk of words, lets say the bio should go something like "Visit my site
https://xxxxxxxx" they would post it like this "Visit my site
https://xxxxxxxxsit my site
https://xxxxxxxxite https://xxxxxxxx" so it was just another day in the office and copy paste it so we get it done already, so I am not buying any links anymore lesson learned thnx but no thnx. I'm just glad I could recover.
