I've had my main domain for about two years and over recent months the traffic has started to increase from the crappy <20/day (which has been up and down for the duration of the time) to 150/day and rising.
Aside from some light ScrapeBox commenting I haven't done much link building on the site for a while, although have been regularly adding content.
A couple of weeks ago i decided to build a new site and set up an addon domain. Once set up I Scrapeboxed about 150,000 links to the addon domain to see what happened.
A couple of days afterwards my main site has absolutely bombed, dropping off the radar on practically all terms. My PR has also dropped from 2 to 1. Is this as a result of the addon domain? Do all new domains need their own hosting?
I'm stumped as to what I can do now, the main site was hardly raking it in but was heading in the right direction. Is there anything I can do to bring it back from the dead? How long will the penalty last in your experience?
Thanks in advance for any advice on this.
