An odd problem to have

adslgeek · 04-04-2009, 04:43 AM

Hey there,

I have setup my site, and got a bit of a hit from a recent Google dance, basically removing all my search traffic.

So I have been working really hard with forum marketing (posting with postive / quality comments and a small signature link eg below).

So I have gradually build up the site and the traffic, but when I checked it, it is all coming from referall links from the forums mainly. And about 50% of my traffic is from direct customers so I think it is really taking off with word of mouth.

My question is, when do you think the Google dance will come back to me? I am slowly building my backlinks, but I do have a bunch of simultaneous content as well as publishing stubs and I wasn't sure if this was actually harming me or not?

Cheers,

I removed all my CJ links, and within a week was raking in heaps of traffic.
Also did an offline event which generated a heap of organic links so may have been time based as well.

Either way search volume is heaps now.
