Google and Yahoo Bowling
This month i discovered a new interest, Search Engine Optimization.
Few days ago the SEO world championship is started and i created a website for fun to see if i could have some results. It’s incredible but sometimes i reached very high positions in the contest leaderboard. This morning i was 11th and in the scoreboard history i’ve seen i’ve been 4th too. Very hard to figure out the reason of this high position but i have to tell that it’s very intrigating. I hope i’ll not loose my mind with this thing 
When i saw this high position i decided to buy backlinks (one way links) to my website to grow the site popularity and reach higher positions on search engines. As the new links was indexed i noticed that the website was listed on top of searchs, the result was good but after a little while my website disappeared from Google and Yahoo, it was only rated 4th on MSN. Giving a look around on the web i knew about Google and Yahoo Bowling. It’s called so because it’s like throwing a bowling ball thowards your site, it goes down. Google and Yahoo are commercial search engines that earns money with text advertisement, so they have an algorithm to detect high incoming links to a website in a short time interval, so if you buy 5000 links it’s suddenly detected by Google and Yahoo. They penalise the website that receives the incoming links because in this case they’re loosing a potential customer. MSN doesn’t penalise these sites because they’re focusing their work on the search engine improvement and not on commercial aspects. It’s what i read on various websites, will it be true? I really don’t know but it’s sure that this thing happened to me too, my website disappeared from Google and Yahoo when i bought text links. All that i can say is, “be careful and add links in a slow and progressive way”.
