    Thursday, February 28th, 2008

    Why is Negative SEO Becoming More Common?

    Thursday, February 28th, 2008

    There’s little question that Google Bowling or “Negative SEO” is gaining a lot of popularity lately. While I myself have never done it(beyond a  tests I did on my own domains that weren’t pulling their weight), I was able to talk to a few people who are experienced in it, and was able to get […]

    The #1 Reason I Love Marketing

    Tuesday, February 26th, 2008

    Today I realized what my favorite part of SEO/marketing. While I love making my own hours, working in my boxers, the challenge, and the competition of it all, none of those take the proud title of my #1 reason.
    My number one reason is that money can magically appear.

    I’m miserable at accounting. But I rather enjoy […]

    Data Mining your Way to Profit

    Monday, February 25th, 2008

    Alright. So in the past I’ve covered the basics of scraping and content generation. But today we’re going to look at a more whitehat way to utilize scraped data. While technically this has some copyright issues attached, they’re rarely caught, and are most often traceable. The ethical scraper can always source his content. This really […]

    The Diary of a PPC Newbie, and Why You Should Expand

    Friday, February 22nd, 2008

    Ok. So those of you who know me know I’m an SEO guy. It’s how I promote. PPC is not really my thing. However, lately I’ve been giving a decent run to some PPC campaigns, and I’m getting relatively proficient with it. My progress has been slowed a bit because I hate feeling like a […]

    Controlling Link Velocity and Google’s Discovery Time

    Wednesday, February 20th, 2008

    Alright. So I’ve talked about link velocity before, but I’ll re-hash it quickly for those who missed it. Link Velocity is essentially the rate at which a site is gaining inbound links on a day to day basis. For anyone on an aggressive link building campaign, you eventually saturate your potential links. You have few […]

    Organizing Your Link Sources for More Effective Promotion

    Sunday, February 17th, 2008

    Ok. So for whitehat and grayhat projects, there is an eternal scramble for links. After getting tired of hunting down message boards and blog posts recently, I decided to organize all the data. Holy crap, it makes a huge difference.
    This works for blackhats, whitehats, grayhats, and anyone else. As long as you’re doing decent scale.
    Prequisites

    Yahoo Captcha Cracked By Russians, and Hard Deciscions

    Saturday, February 16th, 2008

    To All Complainers, this has been mentioned enough places(including Slashdot) by now that I see little harm in mentioning it. Don’t complain at me.
    So for those of you who haven’t heard(this news has 772 inbound links already, so I assume the news is getting out there), the yahoo captcha has been cracked. Open source style.
    So […]

    Treating Each Site As an Individual

    Wednesday, February 13th, 2008

    In the land of SEO, different niches require incredibly different tactics to turn a profit or rank. So how does one decide how to push a website?
    Note: Some of these things I decide to use blackhat sites. For whitehats, you may want to substitute in messageboards or article-based sites in for scraper sites.

    Examine the Top […]

    Batten Down The Hatches!

    Tuesday, February 12th, 2008

    Yesterday I botched up Apache, and have been messing with it ever since. Well, apparently someone decided to do a decent attack on the server while all of this was going on.
    We’ll be up and down a lot today until I get everything handled, so pardon my dust
