Do BST owners sell your email information?

[JarLadr]

I do get random emails not even related to my niche, and that email is solely used for services that I buy. Also, I do scam emails from a Nigerian banker, etc.

I have a question similar to this. Do you think article writers steal your keywords and fire up keyword selling BSTs?

I'm sure that if they did there would have been a shitlist or 2 regarding that and I've not seen one and I see a lot of shitlist threads.

We never do stuff like that.

It only takes a second to delete, and since we are a bunch of spammers ourselves its no big deal.
Most of my inbox management is just bulk delete, lol

But what if he scrapes all the keywords and uses them for his own projects too. You can't even complaint on BHW as there's no clear proof who owns those competition sites.

I seriously don't think article writers do that for the most part.

There may be some rogue writers that do but generally they are focused on the service they provide.

@LukaB made a good point that SEOs can do that as well and I seriously doubt they do that also.

I have over a hundred thousand KWs in our automated services system from clients... maybe over 500 thousand and I've never bothered to investigate if the KWs were worth targeting as that is not what we do, nor is it what 99.9% of the service providers do.

At least one SL would have been opened in the past couple of years about that and I have not seen one and I see EVERY SL thread whether it goes live or not.

That being said, I'm sure there is a Jackwagon or two out there that do that but that is standard life.

Between content writing for several heavy hitters here on BHW, I have found some incredible niches and opportunities. While solid keywords, none of them were worth losing a business relationship, and potentially an entire service, over.

Sir, a big fan here and certainly was not talking about top dogs like you. I was talking about some cheap writing services, mostly from 3rd world country writers. Always feel insecure handing my details over, but then I do.

Here's something off topic: What would be the one tip that you'd offer me to level up my writing beyond intermediate writers? I'd really appreciate you.

1. Get a general topic. Then do research and gather some sources.
2. Start writing. Don't worry about grammatical issues or anything else, just write until you have a first draft. I highly recommend stepping away from the usual 500-word pieces and start to focus on far longer articles. My best ones are between 2,500 and 5,000+ words. Google likes them much more as well.
3. Stop, and then don't go back to it until the following day.
4. Once the sun sets and rises, return to your document and read it. Do a hard edit on the entire thing, sentence by sentence. Once you're done, you have a second draft.
5. Run it through Grammarly and see where improvements can be made. Don't worry about things like past tense and other things that Grammarly picks up that don't really matter. Pop that edited version into your document. This is the third draft.
6. Read it again. You will find things you missed, I guarantee it. Do another edit of the whole thing, going sentence by sentence again. Aim to remove filler words this time. Then you have a fourth draft.
7. Now pump it through Hemingway. Do what you can to get the "very hard to read" sentences to zero (red), and minimize the "hard to read" sentences (yellow). Once done, you've got a fifth draft.
8. Step away again for as long as you can. Give yourself time to forget the article.
9. Come back and do one last once over on everything. Format it all properly, add in headings, links, etc. Congratulations, you have a final draft.
