[SB Case Study] Starting with nothing, taking it to the top

Update:
I regret to inform you all that this will be my last update on BHW. Unfortunately my efforts to be a valuable member the last few years are not appreciated by BHW higher ups and therefor I decided to call it quits.
I won't be answering any questions anymore not will I contribute anything of value either.

As for this project this is the last and final update.
I started out on May 17th with an website with Amazon reviews.
The reviews are 300-400 words long and contain a few affiliate links.
On may 17th only the rootdomain was indexed and I started the first 150k blast to non auto approve domains. 24hrs later, all my review articles where indexed by Google but nothing ranked yet.
The following days I did a 150k blast on each day.
On May 20th the backlinks were starting to get indexed. Once I started RSS fedding and pinging my backlinks about 100 of them were indexed daily.
On may 22th the site started to rank for its main keyword at #39
On may 23th the site ranked #26 and on May 24th the site ranked at #15
In the next couple of days it danced between #13 and #16 and as of today (May 30th) the Google dance begun and the site dropped to #41.
Also the amount of indexed backlinks got corrected.

All in all I expect to see the site get to it's true ranking in about a week or so. I expect it to settle on spot 7-12.
Anyway, here are the latest screens:

What has happened?

Sad, I was enjoying chatting in this thread.
 
Maruk, it was inspiring case study. I noticed THAT discussion on the other thread, and I am sure you did NOT deserve such attitude.

I hope there will be a chance to follow your case studies somewhere else on the net.

Cheers!

It doesn't matter what happened or didn't happen or who said what.
Bottom line is that I am done. If a MOD reads this feel free to lock the thread.

I couldn't agree more.
This is very sad.
But hey, I saw the google :)
 
With recent changes in Amazon's attitude towards affiliates (banning Colorado residents (or which state was it?), and limiting UK affiliates' commission (5 or 7 pounds I don't remember)) I'm a bit afraid that the sites we build to advertise Amazon products don't have a bright future. And yes I tested selling products via other online marketplaces with my built-for-Amazon sites, conversion rates are not the same, really not...

Just a (sad) update to the comment above:
"Currently banned states (Amazon affiliates)
Colorado, Rhode Island, North Carolina, Illinois and soon to be California."
 
What do you mean UK residents limited to 5-7 pounds?
 
Only applies to electrical items according to Amazon, everything else is fine
