Question: Why is it I have more backlinks then my competitor and I have a lower position in the SERPS then they do.

Answer: First off, there are no stupid questions, just stupid people. The reason is simple. Backlinks, though a large ranking factor, is not the only factor. Take yourself away from Twittering all your fake friends about the size of your bowel movements, and think like Google. If the only ranking factor of a site was how many backlinks it had, I and the rest of the SEO community would be called BLO (Backlink Optimizers). How boring would that be. The entire webmaster community would never give out any links, and the rate of comment and forum spam would sky rocket.

I love you idiots that do noting but backlink, makes my job easier. Here are some hints for those of you with short attention spans. Valid HTML, Correct MetaTag Usage, Perfect Site Structure, Non Spammy Internal Linking, etc… Now get to work..

People are stupid, little wanna-be SEO’s even more so. Stop cluttering up the forums I read with your constant bitching and moaning every time Google dances. Hand back the money your taking from your clueless clients who hired you without doing any research, and for the love of God, stop asking questions about why your PageRank sucks. You are cutting into my amusement hour with your incessant crying. It amazes me how many of you twits lack the basic knowledge it takes to do this kinda work.

Most of you will never understand the meaning of this or how it relates to SEO so I’m not sure why I even bother, but next time your about to make a post on your blog, or even worse, clutter up the forums I read, remember this quote from an excellent TV series. “And a lie, Mr. Mulder, is most convincingly hidden between two truths.”

A Google shakeup is underway, Caffine is still not live in all datacenters. Trolling around the forums I see a lot of webmasters starting to panic, something I see all the time when the Google dance hits. The best advice right now is to chill out, let Goolge do it’s thing, keep building backlinks at your normal pace. Early indications seem to point to keyword stuffed domains getting even more favoritism….. In other news,…. Domain brokers get even richer!

First, you need to go to Google and type in the following
search queries:

"Daily Link Roundup"
"Weekly Link Roundup"
"Monday Link Roundup"
"Friday Link Roundup"
"Link Roundup"

If you want to find blogs that are specifically related to your
market, then you can add a modifier. Something like:

"Weekly Link Roundup" + parenting
"Weekly Link Roundup" + marketing
"Weekly Link Roundup" + moms

Simply attach your main keyword to the search query.

This will give you a list of blogs that do weekly link roundups.
Link roundups are basically where bloggers post their favorite links
and articles each week in what’s called a Link Roundup.

Best of all, there are thousands of blogs that do this on every
imaginable topic. Now here’s where you come in…

Once you’ve found a related blog that does link roundups you can then
contact the blog owner and send them a link to your very best
content from your own blog. If you’ve published truly great content, then there’s a very
good chance that they will link to you in their weekly link
roundup.

This gives you a high-quality backlink and sends you some laser
targeted traffic.

To clarify what this is about, the official definition of the sandbox effect is: “when your website carries a high position in Yahoo and MSN, but is nowhere to be found in Google”.

Many people will maintain that the sandbox does not exist. I agree that there is no sandbox “filter”, but there certainly is a sandbox “effect”. We cannot know its mechanics in detail so theoretical discussion on the matter has little value. I prefer to concentrate on results.

Here’s another one of my experiment blogs. It will give some hope to people who have created new sites and put countless hours into backlink resourcing, only to see their site vanish from the google serps.

I registered a new domain in early March 2009, and it was indexed soon after. I wanted to get 20 subpages ranking for multiple competitive marketable keywords.

Note: No linkwheels have been applied to this site

What I did:

* April – Start a major linkbuilding campaign. I was working under the simple mantra: more high PR dofollow comment spam = higher rankings. No attention was given to relevance or any other factor. Therefore, a great many of the links were extremely spammy, some on sites with thousands of outbound links.

PRE-RANKING PERIOD

* June 20th – By this point I had 300 backlinks to home page, 100 backlinks to subpages 1-12, 300 backlinks to subpages 13-18, and 1000 backlinks to subpages 19-20. Prior to this date, none of my pages ranked anywhere. After June 20th, however, I began to see my pages in the top 5 in most cases on Google, Yahoo and MSN.

* June 22nd – Removed from Google serps.

* June 24th – Return to June 20th Google position.

* June 26th – Removed from Google serps. As of June 26th, all backlinking ceased immediately

SANDBOX – 2 MONTHS

* September 1st – Begin to see all pages return to the Google serps, between page 3 and 10.

* September 15th – All 20 subpages return to page 1. 6 subpages take position 1, 14 subpages land in the top 5.

I can’t believe how well this has worked out. Since June, I was working under the assumption that I had done something wrong with my backlinking, and turned to a sort of backlink purism. I conducted another experiment on this here, with a different domain:

This is a classic open and shut case of the sandbox effect. It is characterized by an alternation between domination and total absence from the serps. Something more than the “google dance” is going on here.

It is often conjectured that the sandbox is a test to see if links continue to come in after serp removal. My experience speaks against this theory.

One final note: Google has ranked one of my pages number 1 for a highly competitive software product. The page has over 1000 spam links with same or similar anchor text. None of these links are from relevant sites. Perhaps we should be less paranoid about google’s ability to detect us.
