yeah its meant to be buffer sites only as you can risk getting the domain penalised, this is just a test as i want to see what'll happen on a decent domain with good pr etc
Welly, when are you going to up the ante? Try a bigger blast and see what happens.
A couple of things to consider- many dont believe this can happen, the whole "then lets sandbox our competition argument"
Some of the theories include when an unusual amount hits your site the site dances while evaluating and then the links are simply devalued once found to be spam.
My thought is then it should return to the original position BUT do you think that a mass spam campaign possibly triggers a manual review?
If that is the case maybe that is why some never come back to rank and others either go back to the original ranking or actually get better.
Thoughts?
If there is a sandbox (which I don't think there is) youll need more than 3000 SB links to get in there.
3k wont do shit to a 6 month year old site. I do 50k blasts to my ecom site all the time and see a lot of good results as long as you have diversity. If you have no other backlinks then maybe, but I had tons of AMR, manual blog comments, related forum posts and doing 50k blasts a day all seemed to be fine. Do a 100k blast, 3k is pussy shit
