Ouch Steve, that was rather and unexpected blow below the belt!

The link building for this particular site was done over a 4-5 month period.
Our experience shows unequivocally that in Spanish language and Latin
America its much quicker and easier to gain ground on the search engines
than it is in the USA or the UK.

And yes, I do have SEO experts on this side of the pond and I believe I am
already getting great advice.  But like any good business person, I am
always trying to widen my own knowledge base and understanding of all
aspects of Digital so that I can double check the information I'm being
given.  

With a forum such as Chinwag its a great cross-reference tool and sharing
questions in the forum hopefully helps everyone to grow their knowledge and
solve challenges.  (Recently, the forum has been crying out for more people
to post more questions and get answers).  I've been on this forum for some 7
years now and have always tried to help people wherever possible giving
ideas and advice in areas that I have much more experience.  If you aren't
willing to share ideas and advice, then maybe you're hanging out in the
wrong space?   

Have a great day (or evening), Steve.

Best wishes,

Suzy

Subject:  Re: [uk-netmarketing] SEO Experts - a question for you

Suzy,

There is nothing spammy about the correct implementation of permanent
redirects because content is being moved. This has the added benefit of
retaining the link reputation of the previous URLs.

But perhaps you should be asking your own 'experts':

This is pretty basic SEO, so I'm surprised it is something you are reaching
out for.

By the way, the rapid arrival of thousands of links and an equally quick
change in ranking are exactly the sorts of triggers that Google looks out
for when trying to filter out sites seeking to manipulate it. Do take care.

Steve
