Slightly Shady SEO | Making Money Online, One Script at a Time

Ok. So longtail traffic is something frequently undervalued. And not without reason. 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 […]

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 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 […]

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.

Alright. So I decided I’d pump out a script for you guys today.
Here’s the premise: You’re doing a link exchange. Or writing a wordpress plugin that will give credit back to you via link love. Or making a free wordpress template. Or a myspace layout. Or really anything. No matter what, if you’re getting mass […]

The current mass poster I’m working on has approximately 20,000 installations of the software it works on. Of these, I’ve found 450 to be worth my while. I coded up a auto-regger(with some help from 5ubliminal), where all you have to do is enter the captcha. Now, that sounded simple enough, until I realized I had to […]

Ok, so what with exams and all, I haven’t had a lot of time to work lately, which is a shame. Those of you who know me, know I stripped apart my software awhile back, and am in the process of re-writing it. Good for tech, BAD for profits. So I got out of exams […]

Alright. On our lovely request thread, Here’s Bob requested a method for gathering rapid links, without link spamming software. As always, automation is the name of the game, so trying to avoid spamminess is difficult, but possible. Any of these tricks, use CURL scripts to automate it whenever possible.
The entry will start out simple, with more manual […]

This article is all about how to control your indexing, individual page ranking, and to speed up the process of both. I read a few articles on this yesterday(can’t recall where they are), and I’m going to add in my own twist based off my own experience, of course. Example usages for both blackhats and […]

I know this is a long entry, but it’s damn useful, and can bring you up to the next level. Whitehat or Black.
As promised yesterday, this entry is going to discuss how to take your already existing SEO setup, and turn it into an automatic machine. I have never heard of a 100% automated system, […]
