Quit being nice. They rewrote this thread. Every weekday I go through my RSS reader where I collect every SEO blog I can find, and at least once a week some blog steals content from here. Hell, several have turned the Crash Course content into paid courses. I'll call them out every time...

What are the consequences of posting here? The only consequence I've seen people suffer from posting here is their income increases drastically. It's not like someone comes to your house and kidnaps your pets because you posted here more than once a month. These days, any time I post it's 100%...

Writing is more mentally taxing for me not because of a lack of creativity, but because it's obscenely boring. I'm more left-brain oriented. I get excited to code and solve problems and apply logic. I don't look forward to writing at all. Maybe that's part of your problem, an innate preference...

Google will rank syndicated articles without spinning. We've seen that a million times with press releases. It sounds like you don't want to spin and it's working for you at the moment. I'm not sure you're going to get $18k - $30k revenue from selling another turnkey spam system though. You...

Here's SELand's version of the story: https://searchengineland.com/search-engine-land-was-mistakenly-removed-from-the-google-index-308879 If you believe that, I have a bridge to sell you. It's the same way Twitter and Facebook keep "whoops" banning people on a certain side of a certain...

Let me make sure I'm getting this straight. You're going to create database sites with spun content and then cloak it from Google so they see the spun content and then you'll deliver the user a different experience entirely? I would strike while the iron is hot. Google is going to clamp down on...

This is back to the fun days of SEO. But I'd have to guess that Google probably exempts their own tools from that "this SERP sucks" report. They're collecting enough data in other ways for their algorithms to know they're being played in that way. In the case of tools being pulled from other...

It depends on your tolerance for work, maintenance, and domains renewal fees. I've picked up domains just for the content and not for the links. I've picked up domains for the links and not for the content. I've used ones that have maybe 10 decent links, and ones with 1000's. The scenario you...

The writers aren't loaded because not every pitch gets accepted. They can afford it because of the massive traffic they get already from fans and organic plus they're social media followings. The ones I've seen hedge their bets and mitigate risk by doing a profit share for each post. Yeah, you...

You don't include any text or image links for each product?

I'm not actively building them but I still have a few. They're just like you described, with the main word in the domain plus something like HQ attached to the end. The problem with these is you can't be quick and dirty any more unless you want to get a "thin content" penalty for no better...

The only way Amazon is fine with this is if they approved Rehub to build in API access. I'm assuming it shows the product, pulls the product image for you, and updates the price. That's done through the Amazon API. I'd assume the case is Amazon approved it or you'd be hearing of a ton of buyers...

One thing you can do is make the site appear to have more unexploited potential, things you can do and then mention in the prospectus. These would include creating and seeding the main big social media channel profiles. Getting traffic from sites like Reddit and Voat to show how viable that...

Are they currently ranking as well as they'd like to? Are they having problems ranking right now? The best rule is to "don't fix what isn't broken." If you really want to move to the branded .com, you're going to want to do a 301 redirect, page to page. Moving the site just to get away from...

Something that hasn't been mentioned is you have to clean your list or you'll get kicked off of whatever sending software you're using. They're not going to tolerate high bounce rates or fails because it wastes bandwidth, burns their IPs, and it's a pattern that spammers use. They buy lists with...

How does it save you time and what in the argument are you taking as gospel? The post doesn't explain why it's correct other than to appeal to the masses and appeal to the SERPs, which I'd say it's done incorrectly. I'd argue that that entire post has a gaping hole in logic. Crawling has to do...

The number of people out there that want to compete through sabotage instead of making their own sites better is surprising. It's pretty low. You should be able to see exactly who made the edits and then look at all of their other edits and determine if it was some "do-gooder" versus a dirty...

I don't use either product but I thought it was an interesting enough event to talk about. STAT's announcement: Big News: STAT has Joined the Moz Family! Moz's announcement: Moz Acquires STAT Search Analytics: We're Better Together! Sarah Bird is making moves. It's cool to see her salvaging...

This shouldn't be an SEO play. Any time you see a one-page website, it's either a local company's website or it's a PPC lander. Yours is a PPC lander. How does the website earn money? Do you sell the leads to the company or any other company? If so, then you know how much you get paid for each...

If it's a direct copy and paste with nothing else added, the algorithm will likely sort it out and de-rank their version of the article. If they added a paragraph or anything worth being called unique, it may stick. Think about news-jacking. Most everyone adds a quick summary or intro paragraph...
