I only used one service when my personal account got banned, but I will give this a try

Why am I getting lectured about Reddit TOS on BLACKHATworld? Are you guys bots?

I am trying to get a particular reddit account banned. In the past, I was easily able to do this by purchasing upvotes on their posts. A couple hundred upvotes in smaller subreddits would usually get the job done. Ironically, ever since the recent changes on Reddit, this method is no longer...

1. There are rules in place that require reviewers to disclose that they've been incentivized to write a review. This kills credibility. 2. You don't need to create incentives. Many customers will write reviews simply because they were asked to. 7878's whitepaper mentions a study that proves this.

Search function? I'm referring to threads that consume most of the first page of a section. Yes, I agree that locking duplicate threads is needed. Making a plain "official" thread instead of a sticky is fine as well. It accomplishes the same thing.

Some areas of the forum get bombarded with the same topic over and over again, and I believe this stifles good discussion and discourages people from regularly posting in these sections. One very common theme is begging/complaining threads. I'm not saying that there's necessarily anything wrong...

Outsourcing costs for a large MNS network don't really matter if you use natural growth. Invest in a small number of sites and make them profitable. If you're risk averse, just pay for domains and hosting and do all the initial work yourself. After you've broken even, reinvest all revenue into...

Is everyone going to ignore OP's question and derail this thread into discussing the merits of building your own network? I suggest starting a new topic for that.

Sorry if I'm being dumb, but please bear with me. I submitted an article yesterday and it was accepted. I left the schedule date field blank, set daily rate to 5 and sites to 10. On the articles section, the "posts" field is blank. How long does it usually take to post after an article is...

How long is the prelaunch going to last? I just submitted a PR2, but I suppose I can't submit articles until prelaunch is over? I have some higher PR domains to add but I'd like to see how effective the network is first. Also, I've noticed a new article posted to the domain I submitted.

When I submit articles, is the PR distributed evenly somehow? Or would it be possible to get unlucky and end up on 15 PR 1s? I'm curious as to how that will work. What's going to happen if the network gets saturated with too many low PR domains?

Great thread OP, but I have to point out one problem I had with it. The backlink information on expireddomains.net is horribly inaccurate. I've encountered many sites that were purported to have thousands of backlinks, only to find that they really have a few hundred or less. I don't find the...

Can anyone recommend a good tool that lists expired domains with somewhat accurate backlink #s? I have tried expireddomains.net, but it is horribly inaccurate. It often shows domains as having thousands of backlinks, but when I check multiple other sources such as ahrefs.com, I may only see a...

I'm sorry if this is an obvious question, but I have searched and come up empty. I'll ask this by using a hypothetical scenario... PR updates come about once every 3 months, right? Suppose I register a new website right after a PR update. Over the course of 2 and a half months, I build some...
