I heard a lot of people here talking about that you dont get penalized for blasting your second tier links so I decided to test it out.

1 Month old domain. EMD. Local Niche.

Day 1.
Created site. Posted 1 article each day for 5 days.
Ordered 100 social bookmarks
KW 1: NA KW 2: NA

Day 7.
Ordered 30 Web 2.0
KW 1: 19 KW 2: 23

Day 11.
KW 1: 13 KW 2: 23

Day 19.
Ordered 40,000 comments to Web 2.0
KW 1: 13 KW 2: 26

Day 23.
Pinged 5000 comments
KW 1: 10 KW 2: 16

Day 26.
KW 1: 71 KW 2: 259

Day 31.
KW 1: 103 KW 2: 238

It doesn't look like a g dance to me. Was this negatively affected by the high amount of backlinks to my web 2.0 was is from the pinging?

Should I wait and see for about a month?
Should I get more higher quality backlinks?
Should I create a new domain and start over again?

Feedback will be appreciated and will report back.

I always thought that it's okay to blast large amount of backlinks to web2.0 and article directories. But your case study gives data to think about.
Were those blasts spread over few days or weeks?

I'd diversify backlinks. Get few Angela backlinks, make submissions to article directories and blog networks (direct links to money site and tier-2 links). Wait a month.
 
And maybe your site isn't penalized but went were it belongs? You didn't say how tough the keyword is and you only built 30 backlinks to the site in a month...

Some people call it the "honeymoon period". Build MORE links directly.
 
The niche is really easy, I know if i redid the site I could get it top 1 for the 2 KWs. I did 1 order of 40,000 links to my web 2.0s, I assume they were all blasted that day. Altogether it's 130 backlinks total.

I am currently working on 3 similar sites. One of them I hit 1st results for 3 keywords in 2 months with 200 social bookmarks and 200 blog post, a niche a littler harder than the one above.

This, generally a new site will go in higher than it should be then settle

Not that far...Considering the top 10 results are 0 to 2 years old, 0-200 backlinks and very poor meta titles and a few with partial keywords in domain.

All my keywords consist of 3 keywords with local words. ex. bakery shop harlem.

I'll send 100 blog post and see what happens from there.
 
Do that: buy some more links (say 60 web 2.0 and good article sites) and blast them with 1000 comments each, just like you did with the other ones.

Wait a few days and see what happens.
 
The best way to prove your theory is to make two sites as identical as possible, build the same links, then blast one with tier 2 and leave the other alone.

Many new sites have a honeymoon period which pretty much invalidates your case study.
 
I've observed this effect several times myself, starting somewhere about 02/2011 web 2.0 packages which got mass spammed under performed compared to plain link wheels. All easy informational niches where spam is not a common technique - might be different for niches which are heavily seo-ed.
 
faceblogger posted a case study on the T&C forum where he hit his 2.0s with a scrapebox blast (albeit not as big as yours). His shit did great. HOWEVER, he also built a number of other diversified links as well.

I'm not sure that blasting Tier 2s are a bad idea in principle, however blasting yours as hard as you did with little in the way (comparitively) other links - both in volume and type - probably are what did you in.
 
1 Month old domain and ranking shouldn't be used in the same sentence.

Normally, I let my sites simmer for six months (unless I buy aged domains) before I start any serious link building. You can't draw any conclusion from one site only and fresh one at that. Just my 2c

Right, let's wait six months to start making money.
 
Sent 100 blog post. Now I am deindexed. I already bought a new domain, will g88gle know if I use the same content on that site?
 
Let the algorithm settle. It takes time to update. You are doing well now the search engine needs to figure where you belong without shaking up the serps with the other sites. lol second tier sure beat 1st tier
 
Shit, that was harsh. I've always spammed the fuck out of my sites (brand new domains) with 100's of thousands of the spammiest links imaginable and I've never been deindexed or permanently penalized.

Just a bad-luck manual review?

Poor content or design quality is what did it.
A decent design/layout and good content will pass any manual review.
