Wow, backlinks work fast!

I spent quite a while perfecting my ebook and site design, wrote some genuinely great content but still only had about 20-50 visitors per day. I've spend yesterday and some of today building around 100 backlinks using backlink packs I bought. After building 50 backlinks, and less than 24 hours later I was at #1 in Google for my chosen keyword (7.8 million broad results, 38,000 " " results). I was seriously impressed with this as I thought it would take much longer.

I have been following the instructions on the backlink packages and doing nothing more. I've just been reading that submitting the profile/blog pages that display my backlinks to various web2.0 sites will help further. I'm thinking of using Socialposter.com to do this, anyone know of any better free submission tools?

I'm thinking it is way to early to worry, but my other keywords have gone up to Page 1 of google, but can't seem to break into the top3.

My question would be, is it more effective to submit my backlink pages to 2.0 sites or simply to build more backlinks?

Also, given that it has been 36 hours since I started building backlinks, obviously quite a few will have taken effect, but how long will it take for all of them to have taken effect and for me to judge how effective the campaign was? - I'm trying to experiment here to learn the ropes but don't want to write anything off before it takes full effect.

Thanks again guys.

  • congrats on the success but these... 7.8 million broad results, 38,000 " " results.... are meaningless numbers. It's not a true representation of your keywords competition.

    what was your sites rank before?
  • I measure success not in traffic but in ROI from traffic.

    Google will rank "new" for a short time then let it fall back into place. Keep working.
  • How much of a difference have you seen in your site traffic? Also, is your domain new or been around for a while, e.g. a 1 year+?

    Good luck and keep building thos ebacklinks :-)
  • Keep in mind that most likely not many of those back links you built have been indexed yet. Your site will do a dance around the SERP's when they start getting noticed and if you do add anchor text links for the other keywords that aren't ranking as well you will see them improve over time. It sometimes takes months for this to happen so be patient.
  • You mean you brough backlink from third party?
  • Mark,

    It's not really a question of the vehicle that gets you links, but how effective that vehicle is. Most Social Bookmarking sites redirect through their own URLs now, thus you get weak nofollow links. I'm NOT saying Social Bookmarking doesn't work, I'm just saying don't expect every link you get from high PR Bookmarking Sites to pass a lot of linkjuice. They're still good, it's just....

    really...I'd get more links from sites like the ones that originally ranked you in the first place. If it ain't broke don't fix it =)

    Hope This Helped.

    P.S. - Bookmarks are great for evening out your link profile though, and some of them are great (Plurk, Mister Wong)
  • I'm a little confused. For one keyword have been ranked #1 for over 24 hours. This keyword gets almost 15,000 global annual searches. In the last 24 hours, the term has brought me only 2 visitors.

    What could be going on here? My site has a quality article and is very much what anyone searching for that term would be looking for. Even if 10% of the people who searched per day were to click, I would expect 50 visitors. But I only got 2.

    Is there something I'm overlooking here?

    • Hi Mate

      Check your site in other browser and see you are ranking on top of the first page or not. If it's remain same then delete your cookies and searching history and after that search the keyword again which you got the top position. If it remain the same then it worked for you keep on building the links to stay on top other wise you will lose your position within days.

      Hope you got it.

    • Hi Mark_w,

      Perhaps your math is off a bit. You said "15,000 global annual searches" that equals about 41 searches a day. The average CTR of a #1 position is less than 23% which would bring your estimated daily visits to about 9 per day. That assumes that you are ranked #1 across all countries worldwide. You may not be ranked so high in other countries and other TLDs.

      You may also have a lower CTR due to an ineffective Title and Description in the Search Engine listing. You may want to experiment with different descriptions and/or page titles to see if you can get an improvement. I'm not sure the keyword has enough volume to put a tremendous of effort into this particular keyword.

      You have learned how to get your page ranked for a targeted keyword, you can now repeat this with other appropriate keywords and additional pages that each target different keywords. If you get a hundred #1 rankings, each bringing 10 visitors a day that starts to add up, that would equal 30,000 targeted visitors per month, which is a good start.

  • On which keyword tool you got those numbers? the numbers return by the keyword tools some time incorrect. And one more thing that the keyword tools shows the result of lst month only and they search's per month keep on changing. If you are targeting a seasonal product then this is xmas season and search for any keyword relating to xmas shows very high numbers so it depends on the products and the season of your choice.

  • very nice results, I was under the impression that it normally took a bit longer to see results from links! Just remember it is a constant thing building backlinks, as the competition can outrank you if you don't keep up with it!

  • but if you build 100 back links in days ...it's not look like neutral ...yes may be surely getting some quick result in Google but it may raise a rad flag for Google and cause sandbox effect ..so it may be fine you keep building links in a neutral manner with your web 2.0 sites and try some other methods as well..

    did you check the keyword exact searches for which you are ranking #1..it might differ a lot from overall searches ..first place ranking can't assure you 100% visitor of total searched ..you would get a part of total searches ..and still there are a lots of other factors those play a crustal role in traffic sharing ..like your title and description ...so they also suppose to be good enough to get most of the sharing of searches ..

    • Very Very true! You got to make sure the keyword is really profitable...even if people are paying $5/click a good Idea is to check and see the adwords over a period of time for that keyword...if the advertisers always change that means that the keyword is not profitable.

      15,000 in [exact match]?

      Sometime the data you get back from google is'nt what you're looking for...

      Example:

      the keyword - seo free - in broad match gets - 20,000 monthly visitors...
      but in exact match : it gets only 750/month....while

      free seo - in exact match gets - 5400/month....

      You got to check that and really do proper keyword research before...you optimize...

      now that may not be your case...but its worth taking a look...

      And of course there is also the local search factors you must take in consideration...I use Google insights for that...I would explain exactly how...but since I did that today.... If you want you can see it here..

      Hope this helps...

      Happy Holidays!

    • Ok, new update.

      Two of the pages I was building backlinks to seem to now be unranked. This includes the one page that was at #1 (#3 on google USA). They are not de-indexed as i can find them by typing in the url. But they are not ranked for the keyword I was going for.

      I heard from someone that when building backlinks like this, sometimes this happens but in a few days they will come back.

      Can someone confirm this is the case? To be clear, I have only been building backlinks via a backlink pack I bought.

      Cheers
