YES! So I was able to rank my first and 2nd websites ever on page 1 in a few weeks time. I can't remeber completly but I'm pretty sure I only used my main keword with most if not all of the backlinks with them, a couple weeks later I used the free backlinks tools on a thread found on these forums, and it worked. A month ago I bought more domains and I tried repeting the same exact process, maybe now I built backlinks quicker and more systematically, and maybe I was more keen on making sure it was the keyword on all of them, and maybe used the free backlinks tools quicker (altough I never built more than 100 per blast) but the sites never ranked! they hovered on page 5, 6 a couple weeks in and as I kept building backlinks just dissapeared from the rankings, none of my sites is anywhere to be found on google, but the backlink youtube, squidoo, blogger pages I built for them do pop up quite high, what happened?!?!?!?!?!?!

thanks!

    Google is getting more sensitive every day is what I notice so yeah even a few 100 poor back links can hurt these days. It's terrible but true.

      Think about what you're saying here... if that was really the case how easy would it be to blow your competition away? You will not get deindexed for a view 100 "bad" links...

        I'm not talking about deindexed, but yes a brand new site can tank from just a view hundred poor links.

          I think you're right here. When a site gains authority it becomes more "tolerant" to bad links. Think about Squidoo for example. Many people blast their lenses with the worst garbage links available. Yet there's definitely no sign of Google punishing Squidoo.

        I agree, although I don't think you would get deindexed, just ranked a lot lower in the serps. Google would probably just ignore the poor links.

    IMO for new sites add less than 10 high quality links in first month and slowly increase the rate of backlinks addition.

    yeah, I'm not even sure if its too many spammy backlinks or maybe just not enough backlinks overall!!! it's doing my head in! although the fact that the sites used to appear in the top 10 pages and now they no longer do, that google might just be getting too sensitive nowadays no?

    Well, I built quite a few high PR backlinks manually before getting into the 100 I did using the IMTalk tool and the free 1,000 from 247 backlinks which as far as I understand builds them progressively...

    So what should I do, I'm trapped even within this thread lol! it's hard to say I should stop building or keep building, or what?!

    It's strange this happenning to you, imo. I also have websites in spanish and never had a single problem with Google. I have one weight loss website ranking on first page for a very competitive keyword and I build backlinks to it a lot, and it still ranks high.

    I suggest you keep building quality backlinks. I haven't experience Panda or Penguin in Google for Spanish websites so I guess this is just natural Google dance.

        For websites in Spanish, send your articles to Articuloz.com, Articulo.org and GoArticles.com. Those would be my first backlinks. Also you can Tweet your pages for rapid indexing.

        But, in general, I outsource backlinks here in the WF and Fivverr. I just tell the backlink builders to use anchor text in Spanish (I send them the exact keywords of course) They agree on that.

        Let me know if you have any other question

          Brilliant stuff man!!! thanks! Do you build backlinks straight away or do you wait a couple weeks, month after getting the domain?

          How quickly do you increase the amount of backlinks?

          THANKS!!!

            Just keep writing and publishing content in your websites. Wait for Google to index them in your website first and, after that send them to article directories.

            Keep doing this: update your websites once or twice a week, and when Google credits your new content, send it to the sites mentioned above.

            I suggest not to focus in the amount of backlinks but on content syndication. Others may have different opinions but i am talking fom experience with websites in Spanish.

          Thats basically the same thing I do. Lots of people complain about fiver but I think the real issue is they buy the wrong gigs.

          I've been using fiver for about 9 months now and have had nothing but great results. You just got to be smart about it imo.

    From what you meets, I get the lessons that firstly, not to build backlink too many in short time, and secondly, not to use backlink building tools because it will result in bad consequence.

    A few hundred poor links is what has done it. Dont build too many in one go and make sure the anchor text varies and they are from good quality sites.
