Am I Sandboxed, or what? I'm stumped!
- SEO |
Let me preface by saying that I do have a good amount of SEO experience and I've never been a big believer in the "sandbox" or "building links too fast is bad for you", etc.
Also, this hasn't been an income killer for me or anything, I have a lot more websites, but I'd just like to get your opinions on this.
About 2 months ago I made a very tight website around a low competition keyword in the Easter niche. Within a couple of weeks, it was on first page with just a little bit of link-building.
About a month ago it got to #3 spot and stayed there since. The link building I did was a few links in sidebars of PR3-5 blogs, a few hundred blog comments, and some small steady backlinks with The Link Juicer.
So, all was fine and dandy, I was making a little bit of money from it everyday.
About a week ago, I ordered some "SE-Nuke 10k linkwheel blast" on Fiverr. This caused an influx of low-quality links to be all over the net for this particular website.
Then, about 2-3 days after the link blast, my site completely disappeared from even the first 300 results on Google for any keyword. It did not get deindexed, but just disappeared from any decent rankings.
I've always done link blasts to all kinds of website, and never suffered any negative effects from them, so I don't even know if the link blast had anything to do it with, or it was something else?
Another thing, my best link for this website was in a sidebar of a news website... which displays "recent comments" and they show in the sidebar. The site is a PR6 news website, however doesn't seem to get much comments so 1 link can stay there for a while before it falls off due to newer comments showing. I noticed that link had fallen off the sidebar on that site, so I just commented again to get it back, I'll see if that has any effect once the effects of that update in Google. If that's the case, then it's kind of sad that out of hundreds of links, only that one link counts for anything with G...lol.
The above website has been an experiment of sorts anyway, so I don't necessarily care if it comes back or not, however I do want to figure out WHY it fell since it is a high-quality website, and was being treated by Google as such.
What are your thoughts on this? I'll PM you guys the URL if you want to get a closer look at it.
Thanks!
