Excessive linking with one anchor text

[temi]

My new Link Bid Script site PHP Link Bid Script - Free Bid Web Directory Link Software was dropped by Google from Page one position 5 to page 2 position 7 or so for the keywords: Link Bid Script .

I have a conversation with a member of this forum whose site has gone from top 3 pages to a page over 100 for a keyword his site has been ranking well for previously.

I think this demonstrate the danger of linking or should I say over linking to a site, with the same anchor text.

The one for my Link Bid Script is caused by the fact that the scrip carries: powered by Link Bid Script.

Next release of the script I will change the anchor text to something else.

Yes I suppose it`s always a temptation just to use what could be viewed as the best text phrase, when it`s better really to change them around a bit.

Temi, i still belive that googlebomb works. I rather think that your site might be not accessible for a short period and unluckily the googlebot found that.

Bagi,
Please explain better.
1. Googlebomb works? for good or for bad?
2. My site may not be accessible for a short period, you mean my site may have been offline and Googlebot found out it was offline and mark me down for it?
Thanks

Temi, as you know i took apart in a seo contest not very long ago. As i experienced every seo contests can be won by googlebomb, the same (targetted) anchor from as many sites as you can, and from much more.

I usually experience 1-3 page ranking drop when googlebot find my site offline. I try to explain the ranking changes and i think the broken link and the offline site are the most frequent causing of the drops.

Ahh, now I understand, thank you very much for that clarification

 

[Bagi Zoltán]

Temi it seems that your site achieved the deserved No1 ranking.

 

[temi]

Yes Bagi,
Since about three days ago, my site has been nunber 1 and number 2 for that keyword, thanks to friends like you

 

[Bagi Zoltán]

Friend are a very nice additional aid in optimization. My rankings also reflect that.

So now you are saying that excessive linking using the same keyword txt (aka google bomb) is good?

 

[temi]

It works BUT I will not use it as a long term strategy in optimising a site nor would I recommend it.
I have a felling G does not like it, you could even banned for it if its done excessively
