I would guess that FB could stick a fake profile or two in each group so they'd know if a list was scraped. As for seeing if a list is legit, you can always manually check a few names. That's about the best you can do.

If someone buys a scraped list of emails from a Facebook group to create an audience, does FB have ways of knowing if the custom audience uploaded is scraped?

Why hide it? Because I knew there'd be judgmental people like secretagentdad lambasting me for daring to open up my own shop.

Just because a marketer has a client in a certain niche doesn't preclude him from later starting his own biz in that same niche. Unless that marketer signs a non-compete, that person should have the same rights as anyone else.

Ok...I used to work for them running their ads. And now they are obviously not happy I'm now a competitor.

I have a small niche business and I need to hire an SEO expert to rank me since this is not my specialty. However, because it's such a small biz, it doesn't make sense to spend a ton of money on someone when the return won't be worth it. Because of that, I need to economize and go overseas...

It's an interesting point that a lot of publishers will be screwed because the ads that once appeared on their sites will now be a part of the SGE. While the advertisers may be able to target better because of this, the publishers are cut out of the process so only the advertisers and Google...

Yes, they could be bluffing. But then again maybe they're not. If they aren't bluffing and put down a retainer for an attorney, then I'm guessing they probably won't be open to buying me out at that point. And I don't want to have to get on a plane and fly out of state to deal with this. And...

It benefits me in that I can buy more time to sell the biz to them and increase its revenue and value which I know I can 1 year from now, while also avoiding them taking legal action. However, that's a good point about other buyers later being interested if revenue increases. A potentially...

Just wanted to give an update here...and hopefully get some advice on creative contracts if possible. I've decided that I'd be interested in cashing out and doing something else, so we are negotiating. I thought about what @Smith said regarding a creative negotiation and it occurred to me that...

Has anyone here had to deal with the eventual situation where a FB group member recommends your competition over your own brand? First of all, it's hard to know if these people are friends of a competitor, a fake account by the competition itself that's been seasoned for a long time so it...

I did what you told me and they changed their mind about the phone call. Instead, they upped their offer to just over 1/4 of my asking price. But now they have mentioned a call from their attorney will follow if I don't take their new offer. I don't know if they're bluffing or not as they have...

What do you mean by that? Why is operating right now, risky?

So...I gave them a number and a payment structure and I got back an email saying they'd like to talk on a video call. I don't believe they can come close to my number so I think the call will be a waste of time for me. I'm sure they'll try to talk me down to their low-ball offer first. After...

By "sitewide footer link", do you mean one footer link going to a category page that houses all of these "hidden posts?" Would it be a better idea to just combine these similar KWDs into one post that will hopefully rank each of them for their own KWD?

If I can simply use KW clustering and stick the KWDs all in one article that's viewable on my blog, is that the better way to go here than creating separate articles for each KWD and hiding articles that are too similar to the original?

SEO is not my thing so this will be a newb question. I have a site with a blog section that has interesting articles which I also post to my FB group for subs to read. However, I also have blog articles I need to write that rank for keywords that would not be interesting reads and are simply...

I hear what you're saying, but here is what is keeping me from doing something like that: They don't know what they're doing and have practically zero marketing experience meaning they should be easy to compete with. For instance, they are running the same ads repeatedly using the same copy...

Well, it came as a surprise to me, but they actually made me an offer with 20% paid upfront and the remaining being paid in monthly installments for the next 2 years. If I had to guess, the number they gave me is around 3-5x what I expect my monthly revenue to be 1 year from now. I don't think...

So I asked them if they had a number in mind and they said they'd give me one if I told them my revenue, expenses, and how many customers I currently have. I find it funny they would ask for this since I just opened up shop and all my revenue would be coming from paid traffic since I'm not...
