The Google Psych-Out!
Ok... sharing some history I was reluctant to share last month because I didn't know enough to share... which despite my fans' comments is usually the case.
The experiment:
(First, note that this is the 2nd time I've done this. The first time Google asked me to stop because my dynamic system was sending too many requests their way... They did not however... ban or punish me for doing autogen content)
I'm describing my 2nd version today.
I used AdWords API to gather 300k keywords using exact match for my top online retail keywords. Then very very very slowly I collect top 100 results for each one... Took 3 months to collect... I strongly recommend using proxies and "no footprint in the logs" timelines... Continuing... I had about 300K pages by keyword of the top 100 websites for each according to google.
Each page linked out to the top sites in "do follow" fashion.
On each page was javascript. The javascript displayed ads in a similar fashion as other ad services including AdWords... The JS ads were all nofollow.
It ran for 5 weeks and started producing large volumes of traffic. All of a sudden it got sandboxed. I took it offline and pointed the domain to a google IP.
this is where google psyched me out
I got sandboxed for building backlinks too fast! LOL! I didn't even know I was building backlinks!
1 month later. The page fell out of the SERPs but all the third party domain tracking sites continue to report on it and state that the domain (still pointing at google's IP) has GROWN in value to an estimated $8000!
I did a query to see how many organic links this thing accrued!!!
Almost 300,000 backlinks
In 5 weeks! ... people found the vast volumes of content and linked to it in forums and autoblogs organically... things like: "this page mentioned something about elecric socks" OR "a page over here said blah about used tubas"... etc.
This domain is going to come out of the sandbox at PR7 in about 8 months.
Don't say I never shared a good secret... I'm blowing this one wide open... It's not my fault the new google sucks and this is the way it works now.
