400 backlinks lost and rankings came back!
Written by June Beezy on April 25, 2008 – 1:48 am - 
Okay . . . . When I first started my case study, I was very tempted to get back links FAST, so I joined this service that promised to gave me over 5000 backlinks instantly. Why would I join a service like that? Because three years ago, they actually did work. I tried it with WDclub too and they did show gains in search engines back in the day.
But since these days google doesn’t like that (which is good for all) after about three days, I canceled it. As the goal with my case study was to do everything the ‘white hat’ way or the ‘right way’ and see where it can take us.
Now after I was assured that it was canceled, I still found my link on their network sites. Now the thing is all the white hat link building that I was doing wasn’t really showing up??? So I knew it was because of this instant backlink crap. I mean I did get 800 links under my anchor text in my first 3 weeks. So after spamming the crap out of the site who wouldn’t remove my link through their feedback form - they finally listened and removed it all from their database.
Now just after two weeks - my rankings shot the f up! Under the exact keywords that I used ‘white hat’ backlink practices on.
In fact its currently sitting on page two for my main keyword - after a little article marketing - I’ll be killing it.
So what has this shown us?
1. Instant backlinks from sites like that SUCK - especially if your anchor text isn’t varied.
When I tried varying my anchor text with the article marketing sites for one of my clients, it worked the next day!
I believe one way backlinks from everywhere help - it’s just the anchor text that needs to be different - relevant but different. Especially if you are getting hundreds of link in like 3 days.
Since I instantly got one way backlinks for just one anchor text, Google totally removed my case study site under that keyword - you couldn’t even find it in the 1000 results search.
And the lesson is?
Slow and steady wins the race - don’t treat your site like a fully loaded warehouse full of ‘YaYo’ that needs to be distributed immediately. Or your site will dissappear just as fast as the coke up your nose! A quick fix will lead to nothing but $hi#
PS: I got the ‘YaYo’ example from my ‘Scarface’ game on xbox - I’m not a drug dealer lol - unless the drug is ‘internet marketing’.
PPS: God I feel like a total geek lol
PPPS: I’m really happy my rankings are back for my case study - very nice!
