Interesting view. For a longterm solution and brand affinity whitehat is the way to go.

a great read. its better to have a site that retains traffic. and in the long run, it will still make traffic. This is why i pick out the best niches for longevity rather than join the hype bandwagon.

Are there really true white hats who never game anything at all?

I can’t remember where it was exactly, but I just read this article about how hard it’s going to be to achieve high rankings in Google for most SEO publishers in the near future. I definitely agree if you’re working in the WH camp. I think building authority and mindshare should be a white hat SEO’s main goal. Make it so Google can’t remove you from their index without looking like they’re algorithm sucks.

Thanks XMCP.

Here is the way I look at it – if you have gotten to $2000 net days, then you know more than I do. And I respect that and would like to learn from that.

So, thank you for taking the time to put out what you can. I look forward to them.

@Maxwell: I’m on public service ads Because my blog has a terrible CTR, and the income was never high enough for me to bother fixing that.
I agree with your idea, although Google has been taking a recent stance against widget bait and the like. There was an awesome seomoz article on it a little bit ago.

@Kevin: They in theory don’t, but in really high numbers they possibly can. Use the search form on here and look for negative SEO, and you’ll see what I mean.

@Ms. XYZ: Sure, I can definitely do a few. I don’t do it too much yet, since I’m definitely still learning a lot about it. But I’ll put out there what I can.

Found your blog from WF. Read through it.

Could you please, please write a few more entries on PPC (I’ve read all the ones you have written so far).

Man, I can’t get a profitable PPC campaign going yet.

I am going to keep on setting up campaigns. Would love to hear some more thoughts from you on PPC.

Thank you.

Nice post. Could you explain if Google holds links against you? I’m new to SEO and have read conflicting views on this. To me it seems that since we can’t control what links our sites get that Google shouldn’t be penalizing us for getting many links to quick or getting links from bad neighborhoods. If this is the case, it would seem that all a competitor has to do is just get millions of links to your site ever day and Google will drop the site down. That seems too easy.

I agree, wh in it’s purest form is going to become extremely difficult in the near future. But you really only need to do 1 thing to get a parade of links to a whitehat site. Create a fucking awesome free tool that can’t be easily copied (or if it can, you win because you are the first to have it). Links to your site will pour like rain, and if it’s truly innovative, then you’ll get a lot more than links out of it.

By the way, why did google turn your ads to public service ones?
