So your SEO strategy was(is) website copy? Anything else, like "link building" or sth else? Or if you want to answer in another way, how many hours a week/month/year does that SEO work take, before one sees the results you are talking about? edit. you expanded your answer while I was typing. it seems you are mostly talking about on page and technical SEO, which doesn't sound like it takes that much time.

I think the best long-term reliable link building strategy is to build a good a product that is well liked and discussed by people organically. Take something like a website widget that you build with useful and free content people can add to their Wordpress or whatever. Seems like the kind of SEO strategy a software developer can get behind. Then, a year later, turns out somebody used it for some "content" on 200,000 generated wordpress pages as part of their own scheme. Now you're penalized for this with a manual action from Google. I guess my point is: to go this route means investing real time editing, curating and disavowing. I find it more profitable to focus energy on improving the product while Google and our users both notice.

No the OP was paying attention to the on site technical SEO that can kill a site if you screw things up badly refines and correctly optimised browse structures can make a huge difference.
