hiiii

We’ve been building links for a few years and I too have seen new sites add links without issue but I’ve also seen the reverse. Since nothing in SEO is consistent to every site or channel, we have to speak in generalities and work with averages.

This would probably explain our websites severe drop in SERPs last week.

However, my linkbuilding output is basically the same.

Could it just be that I link our website unknowingly to a site which Goolge suspects of being link farm?

Also, channel5 comments really make sense to me.

My experience has been that the drop is only temporary. Usually the site will return to it’s previous spot or better within a few days, week, etc.

Hi Debra – excellent post. I have only just discovered your site but wish I had found it much sooner. Thank you for the highly useful info!

I’ve thought it through more than once and searched for references but the meaning of your title for this post eludes me… “Pulling A Kesey”?

‘splain me please!

First of all – I have a question for the community!

Do they count No-Follow links also for filtering? I guess the answer is a BIG NO from everybody.

And as most says – I too believe in the relationship between link acquiring equation with that of a site’s age.

Suppose – a site barely 6 months old — with few backlinks – suddenly acquires few hundred links in a month. I think the Red Flag is hovering on the radar.

Compare that to a site of 3 years – and if it suddenly acquires those links – it should have a lee-way with Google bots. Thats how I’m figuring the current ‘algo’ and having no problem.

I have a site that has been having normal SERP ( OK type ranking) since I started it — but the main “Keyword//Phrase” — has gone for a hiding over a year now though I have been getting natural links regularly for it.

The secret – (sadly I discovered it late) – I sponsored a WordPress template with it when it was 5 months old- and unfortunately the template became more popular than required. Links came in quickly- SERP improved dramatically, remained inside top 10 for 5/6 weeks — then out of top 500. It has been more than one year — and hoping that my site will come out from the filter — and then dominate the SERPs again with a vengeance:) I can afford it because it is not my main earning site.

This happened to me before and I have to compensate my client by sending him free traffic from my network of websites. This is one of the reasons why I no longer outsourcing link building to others.

I totally agree with channel5′s point of view : It would be too easy to blow competitors out of the serps if it was that simple.
