Hello all. I have been following a simple strategy so far. I built basic squeeze pages in two niches and I was building forum and web 2.0 backlinks to rank them high in the SERPs. The first website can be viewed here:

http://overcoming-anxiety-attacks.com/

I was optimizing that website for the keyword "overcoming anxiety attacks". After hours of building backlinks, this site ranked number 3 on the first page of the google results, however I got no sales. I realized that this was because my keyword has low competition, but not enough searches. So I built another squeeze page:

http://learn-how-to-hypnotize-someone.com/

This keyword "how to hypnotize someone" has much higher searches, and still pretty low competition I believe. However after I got this website to rank position 27 for the keyword, it has disappeared from the SERPS. The anxiety website above has also disappeared and I have no idea why. According to my Google Webmaster tools, the "avg. position" of the anxiety site is still 3.1, yet in all the google serp checkers they say it has disappeared. I have no idea why, I built these backlinks manually so it would have longevity in the serps. Did they drop off because I stopped building backlinks? It has been a while since I touched either of the squeeze pages, is that why they dropped off? If I build more forum backlinks will they move back up the serps?


And for some reason, the anxiety site is still first page ranked on the bing search engine. And the hypnosis site is ranked on page 11.
