Before you continue reading this post you need to be aware that the case study presents actual data and results from Google. We do not endorse using these kind of black hat practices. We only present them as they are being used and abused. Maybe Google will fix these faster. All for the sake of search transparency … “
High rankings for highly competitive keywords are still being obtainable, post “Penguin”, with black hat practices.
How do I dare to say that you might ask? Well because I have a case study that tells me so (plus I see them in the rankings day by day). It works the same way it worked 5 years ago. Well, Google did fix a few bugs here and there, but the black hat concepts are still the same and they still work.
Wait a minute. Don’t do it yet. Why? Well because here stuff starts to get different than it was 5 years ago. 5 years ago if you had a new domain and you would throw 1000 links at it, from 300 domains ( random example) your site would have been ranking in the top 5 for the following 2 weeks to a month , with a steady position … rarely you would have seen fluctuations.
Since then, Google has changed a lot. Some of the major changes that would stop such a black hat technique from working today are:
- The Google Index is being updated almost instantly (not weekly or daily)
- Google evaluates links with more in-depth knowledge of the link graph.
- Google takes in consideration Link velocity from a naturalness point of view.
- Google has human site reviewers that police the SERPs.
- and many more …
Let’s take our example and see how it still works today.
First we need to get our objectives straight:
- One of the Top 3 positions on the keyword “payday loans” in Google (global) – this snapshot show us our site that was abused and ranked No.1 on this keyword.
