I got a trial and received just over 1100 hits. Traffic looks legitimate, only 8% of the IP addresses were duplicates, traffic is from all over the world but a very significant chunk from the US. User agents of all kinds, referrer was same for every hit (from a popular social network) - it...

Any cyber Monday deal? ;) I'd like to test your service. If it is what I need, I'd like $35 package or something higher if you can serve more traffic than that.

I tried this too. It looks like this service died some time early this year based on the posts in this thread. Their support system is now dead (404) and their support@ email address is non-deliverable. As for the service itself, I watched as only 6 of my accumulated points got used in a...

Yeah, FINALLY they seem to have fixed their shit - MOSTLY. For me, now I'm seeing the "Age" column completely zero for everything. So lame. How good is it to offer a tool even if it's free that doesn't work? Who would BUY their pro tool if you can't confirm their crap WORKS? Anyway...

I said it would be temporary (at best) if there was no relevancy. What are you disagreeing with exactly? That there will be any boost at all (because of lack of relevancy) or that it would be temporary? If the latter, why do you think an unrelated site would benefit long term from 301'd...

Hey is anyone using subvertandprofit.com? It seems like a rock-solid concept. Their SSL certificate is several months out of date, which makes me wonder if their service is actually being maintained or not, though....?

That's pretty much the same question two posts up. Sounds to me like you're both looking for easy shortcuts to ranking. I'd say stop trying to be lazy and looking for easy solutions because you'll not find them. My guess is that a high ranking domain you purchase and 301 to your lower...

I find this hard to believe. Do you have experience or are you just postulating? Because G ranks the *target* domain behind the 301, the penalty will land on that site, not the 301'd site. Before the penalty, due to the 301, you get the link juice, but nothing else and it's all ranked to...

Good thread, thanks everyone. This sounds contradictory to me. Can you re-explain this? Do you mean you can help rank the *target* domain by backlinking to the source (301'd) domain? If so, and if the source (301'd) domain doesn't previously have any backlinks, is there any reason...

Anyone else? Looks like awstats is the only log-based option then, huh?

I know this is an old thread, but it really got to me how much abuse was thrown at ipopbb in this thread. Especially people like transam7410 and jakeruston, who, if you can infer from their tone, are probably just forming their opinions based more out of frustration that they are locked out of...

Others can correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe it's the phenomena of having your site drop way way way down in the SERPs for a time while G figures out what to really do with your site. It can last for a while, but eventually your site might recover its former ranking. I think it can be...

What tool(s) do people use if they choose the self-hosted route? I guess Piwik is supposed to be pretty good, but I'm partial to the log-based approach. Is awstats the defacto (only?) choice in that case? What other options are there? And what kinds of statistics and graphs and...

Another reason script-based tools don't show true stats is that some people have script support turned off in their browsers or use plugins like NoScript that do that for them. That's a small minority, but nevertheless.... Question is what tool(s) do people use if they choose the log-based...

So it looks like 3 linkpushes are helpful for getting somewhere on mid-to-bottom page 1 for a low competition, long tail keyword. That mean anyone using this seriously in a higher competition environment is paying for a LOT of pushes? OP, any further results?
