I’m jumping up and down over here. Finally something good happening with my sites for now. As most of you know, I had some sites slip in rankings after the October Panda algorithim change and mainly the one hurting me was the site that was bringing in about $500 in sales through the Google Affiliate Network – but more on that further down in this post.
The good news is that SE Slingshot has proven to be a great outlet for getting top rankings at a natural and consistent pace all while giving you backlinks with sticking power. I first used SE Slingshot back in the beginning of October 2011. Here I am just 3 months later and seeing the SERP results of my website being taken from #29 to #3 for it’s main keyword. And as you can tell by my Google Analytics screenshot below, the graph doesn’t lie. I went from 0 visitors a day to averaging about 15-20 a day now.
I’ll be honest with you. I have not been so patient after this last Panda change. I went out and purchased a few FIVERR jobs that would send me thousands of backlinks to my sites (excluding this one that Jacob was working on). One offer was for a pyramid like backlinking method so it was suppose to help prevent getting google slapped. WRONG! My site that was doing $500 a month through GA Network went from suffering at #8 to being completely sandboxed. Seriously, I couldn’t even find it on page 20 yesterday. Don’t be cheap guys. Cheap means spammy! You really do get what you pay for. I am going to be using SE Slingshot for my site that is sandboxed to see if it can be helped. I am desperate to get my income back from that site.
Special thanks to Jacob; owner of SE Slingshot, for allowing me to test drive his service. I highly recommend his service and I will update you all once I get my 2nd site going with his service.
