wayn3 go sig whoring somewhere else. This thread is do discuss ranking changes and how to fix them. If you did any testing then give us the results, saying ALN is the shit doesn't mean jack shit to me.. I am using ALN on almost all of my sites but still many of the got hit..
Maybe share what you are doing then? You guys start those threads and the only thing you share is some generic ways of link building. If you are high on "google wants to see natural link building" why even bother doing wikilinks? How many real sites have wikilinks? Its easy to devalue or even penalize because its the opposite of natural.
I dont do much testing. The only thing I do to sites is social bookmarks and ALN with non-scraped content. It works. I dont see any negative effect over the last couple months (mid october). Neither long nor short term.
Ive experimented with some stuff on EMDs provided by secretagentdad, so that its easy to see impact. The results are that web2.0s dont do shit. Wikilinks dont do shit. All those conventional things that were exploits at some point in time didnt have any kind of impact.
Ive tested different kinds of content quality. The results from that are that with shitty content, the sites didnt move to page 1. Once content was changed on those with shitty content, they move to page 1 on that change alone.
Ive tested doing aln before getting some social bookmarks in. The results were that the didnt move. Others that had their bookmarks moved to page 1 just like they were supposed to. The ones that had aln but no bookmarks moved to page 1 after getting bookmarks as if the order of the links were the other way around.
In my opinion, timeline doesnt matter. The only things that matter, according to my theory, are that you have to have enough linkpower, however linkpower could be defined, and enough trust to sustain the linkpower.
Ive experimented with different amounts of ALN links. Sometimes, after the blast is over, the site drops back to where it was. That correlates roughly to "not enough links". Once its received enough aln links, it keeps its rankings after the aln articles fall off the blogs homepages.
I have my data and im sharing more of it than you are ever willing to. Doesnt even matter because 2 months from now, the game will be vastly different again and those who dont read between the lines will never see the underlying principles. Right now, ALN is the shit.
My attention wasnt even to display the sig. I do, however, offer the service because I believe in it and its worked well so far for every customer.
