Success damping filer

Is there such thing as limited success rate?

Let's say site A is brand new, we give it 1000 PR5 links, all perfect and by google rules. Would there be a limit on how successful a new site can get in a short period of time (that should put it from zero to top instantly)?

There are some theories that G keeps a record of when links to a site are created, and I imagine it would not be very difficult to detect 5000 links added within a few days.

GG has stated several times that getting "organic" links is preferrable to "other" methods.

I would say a site that garnered 5000 links in a couple of days would not be the best example of "organic" link generation.

Yeah, but as we have seen with Google Bombing it doesnt really matter how fast links are added. If your anchor text is your keywords for those 1,000 PR5 links you should be pretty high for them.

GoogleBombing is what bloggers(and other people) do mostly for personal fame. In the community they exchange linking to each other's sites with certain keywords in the link's anchor text. If a particular John Smith wants to be the #1 result for the search term John Smith he will get his friends to link to his weblog as John Smith. This can be very rapid and very succesful but since they are Blogs... usually not permanent.

There was an article about this in the wall street journal last monday I think where they gave the example that the search term "God" returns PHPNuke as #2 result even tho it has nothing to do with God, they just had people link to them with God in the anchor text.

Yes. Another good example of this is "guestbook spamming" - automated submission to thousands of GBs with your favorite anchor text.

In a keyphrase I monitor, I saw a site rise from nowhere to top 10 for about 10 days using this technique.

I haven't seen the site in months. Coincidence? I don't think so.

There are really only 2 explanations:

1) G "spanked" them

2) So many other websites spammed the same guestbooks that their links were rendered useless.

Proceed with caution. If you try it - do it with a site you plan on throwing aways in a couple of months.

It could also be that it takes a while before the guestbook link filter kicks in.
