Google webmaster search queries took a nose dive :(
Hey,
I was wondering if one of you black hat geniuses can help me with this problem I started having since last week.
I'm running a couple gsa ser campaigns - one 5 tiered campaign to my money site using strict settings and another 5 tiered campaign to buffer sites - various web 2.0 sites containing articles about products on my site. I'm building around 80 links per day on average. My ahrefs domain rank and URL rank are 47 and 43 respectively and shows that I have 3k backlinks so I'm assuming the tiered links are building strength
Everything was going fine - serps were increasing, sales were coming in steadily, etc up until around last week when my search queries took a major nose dive. I lost almost all my rankings for competitive keywords and medium difficulty keywords. I'm barely hitting 50 visitors per day but I haven't received any messages from google about suspicious spam links
.
I was wondering if I should shift focus to the buffer sites and cut down on link building to my money site or should I keep pounding out links steadily so that I don't mess up the link velocity (read that somewhere on this forum) to draw any suspicions? Or maybe I need more powerful links through other methods such as PBN, social signals, etc? My domain is about 3 months old.
I'd definitely appreciate any help you guys could offer!
