Pick appart my backlinking

[solado]

Still fairly new when it comes to efficient backlinking - With all the google changes its hard to keep up as when I feel im mastering the backlinking juice it backfires.

Please provide constructive criticism and how I can improve my efforts:

The website I am link building is around 2 weeks old, Its dropped off the face of google (Still indexed via site: tag), I removed the 2 adsense advertisements above the fold recently due to the changes they implemented.

My Backlinking stratergy used:

I waited for the website to be indexed naturally without backlinking before hand.
Next I use social Monkee for the 25 free links to all my pages over the course of 1 week, when all the articles / pages have the 25 social monkee links, I build a squidoo page with a relevent and unique article linking to my site.
After the above is completed I build 1 free web 2.0 site from webs, weebly, wordpress, blogspot etc. All unique articles of 500+ words for relevence and content, included with picture and youtube video, I post 25 backlinks with social monkee to the 2.0 links / sites.
Over this period I also mixed in some blog comments from a few relevent sites where I could. (Only managed to find like 5 blogs, but none the less)

Not sure if its a google dance or google penalized me for something, its an affiliate site with Amazon links on it and adsense. It was seeing 10-15 visitors per day but as of friday, its getting 0. The ratio is about 1,000 words to every affiliate link on the site.

The Panda update seems to favor big companies. Google wants "participation" and a lot of it. So, the big companies with 5 or 10 people in their marketing department are out there all day long making blog posts, tweeting 100 times a day and are all over facebook and Google+.

You might have the link building thing going, but how are you doing on the participation side of things?

Hi Solado

First of all, don't be disappointed by the initial results. It's not unusual for a new site (or a new post) to get a high ranking for a few days before dropping back for a while.

You are doing a lot of things right. There are a couple of points I would make:

- You should look into using Linklicious to get all of your pages AND backlinks indexed.

- You should look at ways of getting links for your backlinks. A new page on a high authority site won't do you much good unless you get some backlinks pointing to it and some link juice pouring into it.

- On the web 2.0 sites you might want to think about just posting an extract of posts on your blog with a link to the original post 'Read full article...' but again, you still need backlinks pointing to these web 2.0 properties in order for them to have maximum value.

For getting backlinks to my backlinks I use Auto SEO Backlinks - not cheap but well worth it in my opinion. They have recently switched to building link pyramids that consist of forum posts (not profiles).

You should also think about social networking - there are some free WP plugins that enable you to 'alert' the social sites that you have made a new post (e.g. WP to Twitter automatically pings Twitter every time you make a new post AND every time someone comments on your blog).

Hope this helps a bit and good luck with your new site.

I'm not trying to be rude, but your site is 2 weeks old...

I'm not a fan of building links that early on other than possibly a few blog comments. As your site ages a bit you may want to look into some type of blog network (BMR, UAW, Post Runner, etc.)

I second the advice for a blog network. BMR is good...I'm also getting good results with Authority Link Network. Trying out Traffic Kaboom right now also. It's always good to mix up your linkbuilding profile.

BTW, as you find blogs to comment on, make sure to keep record of them...because auto-approved dofollow blog comment sites are harder and harder to come by nowadays.

Your site is way to young, so be patient. Also remove the adsense/amazon links completely for now.
