Hello everyone,
I have a new site that was climbing up the rankings and i was using unique article wizard, social bookmarks and other article distribution services. then I ordered a package of links on this forum that included a bunch of web 2.0 links and blog comments and article distributions. and now I do not see my site in the rankings at all. I think I am suffering from a google penalty. How long does it take to come back from being penalized from too much link building? My site is still indexed too.

      Unique article wizard has been working well for me and everything else I was doing has been working well until I ordered someones service on this forum. I believe their links were the ones that were spammy. I was on the first page for multiple keywords and pages 2 and 3 for others. My site was steadily increasing in rankings until I ordered a "super blast link service" and my question is how long does it take to come back from the penalty and what can I do.....

            what good would that do? is it for the WF to boost its user count and create unique content?

            anyways thanks for the info I'll just add my content like you said and maybe book mark it and leave it alone and watch

    Google's web spam Head Matt Cutts has announced on Webmaster Central blog that a strict action will be taken against websites and blogs that sell links for the sole purpose of manipulating Search engine ranking and passing PageRank juice.

    'super blast link service' sounds like quality.

    may just be doing a little tango, not necessarily a penalty.

      ya its total crap but I thought it was a good thing for my site at the time. Also, I've noticed a lot of my links have been de-indexed. should I just stay away from the spammy link blasts and keep doing what I was doing before that? I have tons of new content to add to my site and my site is only 3 weeks old

    Yeah, I'd keep adding content and take a less is more approach to the link building for now.

    There can be 2 simple reasons. One that G have found you to be using black hat techniques and other could be that its a G dance. Better pray that its the later one

      would the google dance really be that dramatic though? from almost top rankings to not even in the top 100?

        Yes it would!

        It took me about 3 dramatic dances before I realized this.

        Do you have a SERPFOX account? You should get a free account to have SERPFOX monitor your keyword ranks on a daily basis.

        Many of my keywords were on pages 2-3, then plummeted down between pages 18-26, some as far down as page 30.

        This has actually happened 3 times so far.

        I am NOT doing any spammy backlinking. I'm just filling up .coms I bought with niche related content, then backlinking to my site.

        I notice that when I build links slowly, like 10-15 a day, with mixed keyword anchors, my ranks always come up slowly. The few times I've gotten greedy, and tried to build a lot of links fast for one keyword, I've seen my site plummet. Like I will STILL diversify my anchor text, but if I'm getting 100 links, and 20 of those links point to one keyword, I think google realizes something is up (I don't always follow the same %, some days I'm lazy and target the same keyword way too much). The more backlinks you build, the more you need to diversify anchor text (meaning the more keywords you need), thats my only tip.

        Its just a tip, realize that I'm no expert at SEO. But I can tell you that dramatic changes as of recently, seem to be very common. Especially for sites under 6 months old. Even my 8 month old site still dances. Its an annoying dance too. The older it gets, the less it seems to happen, but when it does happen, its dramatic. Then I have a 3 year old site that never dances. Google merely doesn't trust younger sites from what I've seen. I think the best way to avoid dancing is with relevant high pr links, but these are very hard to get a lot of the time. If you can however, I've used them on my first site and they seemed to have a great stabilizing effect.

    just try to remove all your backlinks and there are some software available in markets by which you can find and remove backlinks of your site.

    Landon, there was a Google refresh three days ago and many sites nose-dived so it may have nothing to do with your link blast. Wait it out two to three weeks. If it is a link blast then there may be no recourse. A link blast was done on one of my sites a year ago and it has been in doghouse since then.
