Everyone called it a velocity penalty. Logs proved it was CLOAKING the vendor did.

Client deindexed after a fast 120-link campaign. Forum verdict: too fast.

We pulled the data. The "links" came from a network serving cloaked pages — Google nuked the whole footprint, our client included. Pace was irrelevant; it would've died at 5 links/month too.

We rebuilt with 100 clean links FASTER than the original campaign. Full recovery, no issues.

Most "velocity penalties" are vendor garbage with a better PR story. Prove me wrong 👇
