Over the past bit I’ve been mentally going back and forth over some complicated and personal issues about the future. And I found myself examining my various methods of income, and thinking “how will these be in the future”. Blackhat is by far the most interesting in this respect. Matt Cutts himself has stated that […]
Ok. This is a debate that’s been raging in my mind for a few days. Google seemingly has almost multiple personalities and abilities. On the one hand, they are completely naive. On the other hand, they are capable of bringing down massive networks in a matter of seconds. So how much credit should they be […]
Ok, so this is the follow up to my first PPC newbie post. I’m going to take a step out and share some figures, as well as lessons learned.
The State of My PPC Campaigns
Ok. Currently I’m embracing multiple traffic sources(4-5 active) so don’t blame me if I don’t expand a whole lot on those. After […]
I was talking to a few buddies that work in different aspects of internet marketing, and started debating with myself how much different skills within internet marketing cross over. For example, is it easier to become a mailer after excelling at PPC? Is it easier to do good at PPC after excelling at SEO? I’ve […]

Take a look at any adwords tutorial you’d like; they all mention the fact that you should avoid “broad” match as much as you possibly can. This is because longtail searches are much much harder to convert into sales(for random longtails/blackhat longtails). Making […]

Introduction
So several months ago MSN started crawling the web with a new crawler. This one was designed to (in theory) detect sites that were cloaking. The idea behind this was that if the site was serving up a different page to bots, and a lot of cloaking sites bypass their own IP lists to save […]
Ok. So when one thinks backs to the pre-Matt Cutts days of Google, what comes to mind? For many, it’s link farms. The golden scepter of early SEO, a properly implemented link farm allowed you to rule your niches with an iron fist. Guess what? The same is true today. It’s just a lot more […]
Alright. So recently I was examining a niche that I previously succeeded in, and decided “Why not? I’ll throw up an adwords campaign in the same niche”. Well people, that solidified the belief that PPC and SEO need to be done together, as I’ll explain in this entry. It’s pretty amazing to me how many […]
Alright. So whether or not Google likes to admit it, almost every site examined or banned for linkspam/cloaking is a manual review. I’ve seen cloaked domains indexed since 2002, and I’ve seen them get banned in 2 weeks. What’s the difference between the two? Link spam.
Pissy admins have been the beign of the blackhat’s existence […]
