What is your favorite e-commerce platform assuming you wanna SEO your online shop?

How'bout when you don't SEO it?
I've tried almost everything, and what I can say is that WHMCS would be an awesome eCommerce platform, however, it's not SEOable.

Stick with WordPress and an eCommerce plugin, a lot more easy to optimize onpage.

Great Q + A.

How important is covering your footprints for a PBN.

I want to put together a small, mostly contextual network of about 15-20. I plan on putting up nice clean sites and will only be using them for my own personal sites so no spamming going on.

Could I get away with hosting these altogether or do I have to get individual seo hosting for each domain with private whois etc ?

The niches I work in are not very competitive so I can fly under the radar but no point in spending out good money on domains if I dont host them right.
 
1st tier -- keep it quality, web 2.0's (blogspot, blog, bravenet, fc2, snappages, tumblr, webnode, webs, weebly, wordpress, yola, zoomshare, etc) -- preferably do follow.
2nd tier -- wiki's, bookmarks and maybe some different web 2.0's pointing to the tier 1 web 2.0's (weebly, wordpress and zoomshare linking to tumblr for example).
3rd tier -- whatever's left, spam is fine.
So just the web 2.0s for tier-1?
 
Thanks for doing this, i have a few questions:

- trying to rank for a niche, does it matter for google if i upload two different articles, one called quit smoking and the other quitting smoking? just for the sake of having extra article in the website.

- when should i apply for adsense? should i wait 1 month or how long should i wait? is there like a safe number of articles that i need to post before applying?

- how many hours a day do you work and how much are you making. trying to understand how correlated are how long you work and how much you make. if you do not answer this question i completely understand.

- manually done 2.0s can replace PBN? if yes, what should i do to fool google that these blogs are not made from one place (location/country/IP).

- if running a PBN, do i 100% need to use different hosting services? i have heard about something called content delivery network. can this help with creating a PBN with spending less on hosting atleast untill i get some cash rolling in?

- Guest blogs can be used instead of PBN? are they a viable link building method?

- How many social accounts should i run to get more attention and links to my website? do i need 5 or 6 g+ or just working on one of them hard can give good results?

- if i am running an adsense, how many articles a day is minimum to get ranked? after i got ranked well, how many should i upload to keep the pace up?

- if i am targeting 100 keywords for mywebsite, with each having a separate article; do i need to build links to each article? i have heard i need to make 4-5 pages and create links to my articles. but i can link 3-4 articles for each page. what will happen to other 80 keywords? will they rank by themselves if i rank for 15-20 keywords that are linked in my page which i made a backlink? i hope u got me :))

- does having a website name that has 25 characters makes a difference in approval for adsense?

- does blackhatting work for adsense in the long run? or creating links using GSA for guest posts and PBN is fine?

- for a newbie like me, what softwares do you recommend? im trying to minimize the cost so i can allocated more money for buying articles since im a student.

- Is it okay to link 4-5 words to wikipedia only to make the article look natural? should i suffice with wikipedia or randomize it?

- making links to my articles in home page's side bar (like related posts) affects the SEO?

- do you prefer CPA offers as a form of banner on side bars or adsense

thanks for yourtime!

regards, newbie.

Hi !
Im targetting 25 Keywords (Easy Competition) and because of that, i need to order each seo service for each kw... (My budget is low btw)
This is market samurai screenshot of my kw, all of 25 kws has pretty much same competition

asdasd.png



1. Do you suggest me to create just one landing page and SEO it to all of the KWs (25 KWs) (Low cost since I seo one url targeting many kws) , or create blog with ads reffering to my landing page and seo each article on that blog ? (High cost since i need to seo 25 articles)

2. Do you have any suggestion for SEO-ing many KWs on many article with small budget ? (Basically because KW Im targetting is on LOW Competition, that's why im targetting many KWs)
Thanks!
 
Thk you for this great opportunity to ask such an expert like you some questions. I really appreciate it.

So: Im from a really poor country (110$ average monthly salary). But im quiet known in my city that im smart, since i finished great university and do look like a nerd. Since 1,5 months im interested in Seo. So what happened? A local Travel agency ( from Germany but they have their offices in my country) hired me for their SEO since they heared good things from their neighbours about me. They pay me 14 $ per hour with a maximum of 70 hours per month ( I know they had a Seo agency before and they paid 1800 $ per month without any results for over 1,5 years). Basically this is my jackpot. But i dont want to screw it up for them since they gave me this opportunity. At the same time i dont want to stop working for them, since this is great money for me and my clothes ones.

So question: How do you recommend me to produce 2nd tier links for them in a 100% google friendy and safe longterm way? Im building already a lot of web 2.0 sites with unique content as tier 1 (i do speak german really good, since i was on a german secondary school here in our country on scholarship). I was thinking about gsa engine but i dont know if this is so safe? Another option would be to use the thebestspinner and create different web 2.0 as the 2nd tier? Basically what could you recommend as safe 2nd tier links?

Another question from me is this one where i would like to hear your opinion if possible :). Its directly related to their website:

Let's say I've found more long tail keywords that are basically the same search term.

Sample 1: "internship Germany"
Sample 2: "internship in Germany"
Sample 3: "foreign internship in Germany"
Sample 4: "internshipS Germany"
Sample 4: "doing an intern in Germany"

When I'm developing my blog to target these keywords in articles, how should I approach them? If I SEO one article to nail "internship Germany," and create another article targeting "foreign internship in Germany," is Google going to recognize this and punish both articles for being similar?

and last question since i really want to make it safe: Im building different web 2.0 blogs on worldpress, tumblr etc. Now, how necesarry is it to have different ips everytime i create them?

How to rank for gamble/poker niche?
It's extremely difficult due to the amount of people spending countless dollars trying to get top positions.

Your best bet is trying to find some long tails with a decent amount of searches and target those.

Just SEO the long tails like you would any other site.

Well, if all of the sites are on the same IP and are linking to your site, there wouldn't be as much power than if they were on different hosting.

You won't believe how much time and money my partner and I spent testing this out.

If it's that small, create separate CloudFlare (recommend this mainly if it's that small - one account each domain so they're hosted on different IP's), Incapsula, CloudFront, etc.

That would be a solution until you get some other hosting providers, if you decide to expand your PBN, that is.

If you do, make sure that the providers are not resellers, if they are, you'll end up with some overlapping IP's.

If they're relevant to the site, unique and well written, it should be fine.
Just keep it consistent, make post consistently, once a day for a month, then apply.

You shouldn't have to unless it's Google's property, and even then, it probably is not worth the effort.
Read the other reply.
PBN, you have control of it.
I don't understand the question.
Quality > quantity.
Get some domain authority first, link to domain with generic/domain anchor, keep it quality, then do a little link building to each page.
Idk.
Idk.
GSA SER, GSA CB, Scrapebox.
I don't understand your question.
Read above.
Depends on site and what it's targeting.

Depends on your exact budget, it'd be hard to target and rank for all KW's on one page only.
Try the second one. Include the keyword 1-2 times if it's a longtail of the original and you're set.
 
Have you ever had a successful authority website getting 10k+ daily visitors and generating you some few k/month?

I'm currently making one, it's 15 days old, has 16 posts and I have been adding 1 post daily, sometimes not even posting, that's because I pick keywords based on a very strict rule I have for myself so I only pick easy keywords with 800-3k monthly searches, It doesn't sound much but it will add up with random long tail keywords + hundreds of articles. I have recently found a way to find a lot of the keywords I need and have been doing 2-3 posts daily all with a minimum of 500-600 words, my biggest article currently is 1900 words!

My question is, what would be your approach regarding the authority website? Should I completely disregard linkbuilding for now since it only has 8-10k words of content on the website and only 15 days old or should I start link building and if so at what velocity? Should I wait until I have more articles?

Also, if you had a strict budget 50-150$ lets say, how would you invest it?

Really wanna make this website work and your input will be highly appreciated!

If you are writing authority content:

1. You want to make relationships with people in your industry and niche. Don't think of it as building backlinks but think of it as relationship building. Keep an excel sheet of people you talk to. Everytime you write new content, message to them and let them see your new work and keep track if they respond back, or they're interested in including you in their blog.

2. Focus on twitter and facebook, and tweet to people in your niche good content you are writing.

3. You may want to look at content starters such as writing about theories, how-to articles, interviews of experts in your niche. Encourage your visitors to share this with your friends.

If you start the process word of mouth and tell people about your site, they'll naturally start telling other people

Regarding link building, you want to build links on pages with less than 10 OBL, preferably web 2.0 blogs.

You can have these pages link back to your keyword with a diversified anchor texts, at least 20% to be URL.

This will give you the best result and rankings over time.
 
Thanks candy.

Open to more questions.
 
This maybe an elementary question.

For a new website (1 or 2 months old), what's the "natural (to google's eyes)" looking SEO plan for tier 1 and tier 2? (as in, what kind of things should go on tier 1 and then on tier 2).

We all started somewhere, there are no 'elementary' questions :)
Depends on how many indexed pages, content and if it's spread across the hompage, one page or all the pages.

Keep it slow in the beginning and slowly start to increase the link velocity, this applies for both tier 1 and 2.

I think you slightly misunderstood my question.

I meant to ask what can be a plan of action for such a website. If the website, lets say, has 50 indexed pages and growing. A blog-style WP site. What things should go into tier-1 (such as web 2.0s, social bookmarks(?), ect) and tier-2?
 
When building a PBN, you said above that separate hosting is beneficial. Do you recommend SEO hosting, or individual hosting accounts as being safer?

Also, how much do you need to spend on each domain purchase?

What's the best way to manage all the sites (posting etc)?

and lastly, how many sites to you need for a low-medium competition keyword, for example?
