Don't Make This Mistake That I Made

Hola friends,

Recently (in last 4-5 days), I noticed that google stopped indexing my posts. I have been writing almost 2 posts every 3 days. It is not indexing the posts even if I request indexing manually.

Earlier, google used to index my posts within 12 hrs, no matter even if I didn't write for 2-3 days.

I also noticed that my domain authority dropped to 1 from 3. I think it is happening because of the one mistake that I made.

And that mistake was using the blackhat method to create backlinks. I paid panel.seostore.net to create backlinks. To their credit they did what I asked them to do but looks like it didnt go well with god google.

Though it is difficult to pinpoint what caused this but creating backlinks was the only illegal activity that I did recently.

So if your website is new then I will suggest don't try anything illegal. Keep writing and you should be fine.

Cheers,

Prav

Prav, I admire your eager-ness. Often you need to learn to tame your wild horses - you are only just coming out of the sandbox and should start to notice big improvements in traffic.

Great content will trump links everyday of the week!.

I'll give you fine example - Month 13 for my site in the same niche - no link building at all - no fancy wancy on or off page SEO each of my top 3 article will get 4 figure trafffic with the top one over 3,000 visitors.

Not a single links built! - all 3 articles have exactly zero links in total. To be even more honest - I don't even think those article have that much in the way of internal links pointing to them either!.

In short it is almost very shoddy shambolic SEO all round. Yet I am expecting by the end of this year to get something like 15k traffic from my top 10 articles alone.

The moral of the story - you don't need to deviate from what is taught in the training here.

I am by no means unique - what I am mentioning is very typical..Very - let that sink in!.

Thank you Derek. Yes, I should have tamed my horses. I was stuck in a poor internet area for almost 50 days. Writing new post was getting difficult over phone. So I had decided to try something different. And it bounced back. Will stick to the rules of the game now :)

Good stuff sir!.

Going from DA 3>1 no big deal really. Most likely you just naturally dropped a single link.

One or two good site linking to you can haul that to DA of 10 easily!. It;s disheartening but our DA figures yo-yo all the time. As long as you are moving in the right direction all is fine.
