Social bookmarking = get your site de-indexed?

I set up a wordpress site with tens of thousands of posts last week. There's no any BH techniques done on the site. I just hired a social bookmarking service to get about 100 backlinks.

After two or three days of the social bookmarking service, google indexed my site and I got about 200-300 visitors a day from google. I use site:mysite.com to check and found about 2000+ pages are indexed in google.

I then put some adsense on every page of the site. Then I start to see googlemedia bot coming in. It's normal.

However, today, I get almost no visitor. I check site:mysite.com again and found only my homepage there. (It was 2000+ indexed page yesterday!)

Am I penalized by google? de-indexed or sandboxed? possible reason?

    I dont know what happened either. But I have heard not to over do bookmarking from the beginning. I always heard a page or two a day. So I do a blog post and then send it to the bookmarking sites. Hopefully will the help of this bump you will get more info. Mary

    In a week your blog had tens of thousands of posts???

    Does that seem at all normal? Who could possibly write tens of thousands of posts in a week?

    I would think that would be a HUGE red flag. I'd think the "BH" is having all those posts, no?
    Where or how, would someone be able to (legiminately) post that many posts?

    I do not at all think this has anything to do with bookmarking. Google is all about things having a normal progression...and my belief is that the normal progression in your case is being deindexed due to posting tens of thousands of posts within a week.

    But all is not lost... Next blog of yours will be populated with posts in a more normal way and you'll be fine.

      Well, I had some script to insert my article database into wp's database. It's just a matter of a few minutes.

      I was wondering this could be the reason. But, it's not unusual for a large site to be launched with tens of thousands of page in place.

      My home page is still indexed when I try site:mysite.com. If google is penalizing me, why not de-indexed the home page? I read from some other post here that some people have their new site de-indexed for a few days and get it back later, without doing anything. Is that true?

    Google might have considered your website as spam...since it did not grow "naturally".

    It would have been enough to put maybe 3-4 posts per day and that would have been enough...and you would still see traffic.

    That can happen too...just wait and see if your website gets re-indexed...if not...

    If you could deindex a site from doing something like social bookmarking, then all your competitors would always be knocking your site out of the search engine listings by mass bookmarking you and every other competing site.

    This would lead to completely nonsense, so it's obviously another reason.

      Installing a big DB will not get you deindexed, since the SE's will simply take their time crawling it.

      An explosion of inbound links may be the problem.

      Also did you use any .htaccess redirects from all your old url's?

      A common mistake is to simply redirect all 404's to new pages in an effort to contain traffic, but if your sending the wrong header info, like 200 OK when it should be 301 redirect or 404 not found, you will be slammed for that.

        No I didn't use redirects. But 100 social bookmarking backlinks could really be the problem?

          Yes, a hundred unnatural backlinks overnight will set you back, whether or not your banned will have to be determined in Google webmaster tools.

              Your site isn't de-indexed. If they remove it from the index, they remove ALL of it from the index. My guess is that it's the "Google dance" that they seem to do with new sites - index pages, then they disappear for a few days/week, and then they start to come back into the results.

              It's VERY hard to get a site removed from the index by incoming links. 100 backlinks over a day, or a couple days, is nothing. Think about what happened when, say, Sarah Palin was nominated as McCain's VP pick. Wanna guess how many incoming links showed up to her website in a matter of minutes (I'm making the assumption she has one)? This is why Google has a hard time filtering out spam on the basis of "unnatural" link quantity . . . Sometimes it's spam, and sometimes it's linkworthy news, so it takes a LOT of incoming links over a short period of time to really throw up a flag.

              As far as social bookmarks causing you to get removed from the index, no . . . Have their "weight" been devalued? According to testing, yes, but they're certainly not going to punish any sites. They (Google) really tries to keep sites from being penalized from incoming links, as your competition could just blow you up with a bunch of spammy links. Of course they still CAN, but a really bad spam link and a bookmark are two very different classes of linking.

    Big G isn't as easy to trick as many may think... by putting up a site, and instantly have tens of thousands of pages... most likely duplicate content, unless you have an insane ability to write that fast... google can tell real, relevant content from fake... don't be fooled.
