Hello Warriors.

My site was on the first page for a not altogether competetive term (12,000 exact searches and the site no. 2 on SERPs has about 500 low PR backlinks). I added about 200 PR (2 to 5) comment backlinks and the webpage dropped to second page and this happened about 2 weeks ago. Could someone tells me what this means? The site itself is over 1 year old and the webpage in question has been in existance for over 5 months.

    Well, when you add a decent number of backlinks, you do a little dance. It is normal and I would give it another week or two before worrying too much about it. Were the pages saturated with links? Or little to no links on the blogs?

      The blog comment webpage was a little saturated with links, many of them with over 100+ outbound links. The comments was done manually even though many of the blogs were not related to my nieche.
      I was under the impression only new sites danced.

        New sites dance MORE. How old is your site? If it is less than 2 years and it isn't a keyword you have ranked for a long period of time, you will still dance.

        So those PR2-5 blogs, you can expect the PR to be 0 with the link saturation.

          My initial thoughts was that as the blogs contained too many outbound links, they were a little spammy and Google decided to take action in a negative manner. What is the maximum length of time these kind of 'dances' last?

    From my experience sometimes it create very big problem when you add somethings on your site. Don't worry it will solved after few day. Another things is that you should check it out when you add new item.

    to be honest with you it sounds like google dance, but nothing wrong with being safe and adding more links to you link profile and being relentless with your link building. gotta outsource.

    I think, it is Google Dance so you should wait for a week and after that should decide new strategies for your websites.

    Such wild fluctuations in ranks are normal in most cases and can even get interpreted as a way towards success because links are not credited the exact time they are found by Google. For example even if you get a great link from homepage of a PR7 website, that needs to remain for some weeks online before generating juice for your site.

    The notion is that Google wants to make sure the acquired links are solid ones and not just temporary votes gained through some trivial works. The older the links get, the better they would help your website getting finer and improved ranks.

    Hey mate, don't worry.

    I have such fluctuations regularly when I add hundreds or even thousands of backlinks to my site. My sites always came back after a few days. It never got penalized or something.

    People say that google needs to determine the value of the backlinks which you throw at your site. I don't know if it's true, I guess nobody knows.. But I can tell you that there were never problems for me ...
