I just registered a new domain two months ago and this is what I've done so far to the site:

- Added 10 pages of content over a 2 week period
- Submitted around 40 spun articles to article directories
- 5 blog comments
- 1 -2 profile links
- 20 Social Bookmarks
- Pinged everything that moved

The niche and keywords that I am targeting have over 5,000 exact searches per month in a very lucrative niche. (payday loan niche) Competition has less than 100 backlinks actively showing in siteexplorer.yahoo.com with a PR of 1. Everyone else within the top 10 spots are article directories, and news sites ( No one with a PR of 2 or more.) Because this is a new site, I obviously don't want to throw too many links at it at once. (but concerned that I may have overdone it already?)

At first, Google was sending about 10 searches per day my way. Which is not a lot, but its a very specific niche. I was getting a very nice CTR to the advertiser's landing page, but no conversions. There just isn't enough data yet to make an informed decision. Pretty certain the keywords will convert once traffic starts coming.

However, I believe I did something that fucked everything up. Google is no longer sending traffic. (The sky is falling!)

So, based on the limited information that I have posted, do you think that I have "dun goofed up?" Or, am I just being paranoid? Should I continue building more links (articles, social bookmarking, profile links, blog commenting, etc) or should I change my strategy?

What would you do different?


(P.S) I had a link within one of my blog posts, that did a php redirect to the advertisers LP. Maybe that is what is fucking me up?
 


google is doing the sandbox dance, it just took one of my sites over a month to get out of it after that initial burst of traffic, so keep calm and carry on.
 
The last thing you want now is to stop your efforts. Keep going at it. Keep building quality links slowly but surely.
 
Thanks! Started receiving another influx of traffic from one keyword, then started receding once again. I will definitely keep building links and let you guys know how it goes!
 
Did you do all of this on your own, or you hired services? if you hired services please do share as Iam sure many people here need them.

Did it all by myself. It's easy if you know what you are doing. The hard part is doing all of this shit and not seeing results for like...a month. You have to be persistent. In my experience, 80% of this is finding a good niche. There are plenty of them out there.

I sure as hell don't have all the answers either.

Stop reading. Go find a niche ;)
 
Well in your link-building process, you just cant say Iam done. One very important reason being, your competitor can easily outrank you, if you ever think of saying Iam done.
 
2 month old site is not shit..... I don't even start building lot of links until around 6 months. I have sites that did not start kicking ass until around 2 years.

Patience is a must.. is why most get discouraged and fail.

woww really 2 years! holy shit my oldest site is like 8 months old if that...

damn so what do you mean by kicking ass?? like how much cash are some raking in now??
 
Google is just "testing" things out.

Keep doing what you're doing!

Same thing happened to my first site. I immediately freaked out. After a week or two of following my link strategy, my site ended up ranking on the first page for all of my main/long tail keys.
