Historically, the order you want is: .com .org .net And this is still true to some degree I believe, but I haven't run any direct tests lately. I just bought a .co a few days ago and it's ranking fairly well and getting hits after just a few private blog network posts for backlinks. The...

This is pretty much just like the fake popups that say you have a virus and they will clean it for you for a price... :fear:

Sales is a numbers game, so just keep plugging away! Your first few meetings might not result in any sales, but you'll get better at the "cold meetings" over time and your conversion rates will continue to get better. Congrats on the first success of many!

Check each page for PR and OBL (can and should script this). The list could certainly be sold, or you could just keep it for yourself. I wouldn't blast my money site with too many of these without checking them out manually first, but you should be fine to blast your tier 2/3 links.

Last month closed at about $6800 in pure affiliate sales. The only "black hat" thing I do is backlink to my sites with spun content. My sites themselves are all pretty high quality with completely unique content.

Great advice, seorockstar. The to OP, it doesn't get any easier even if you're making money. I still get distracted by "Shiny Object Syndrome" even though I am making lots now. You just have to buckle down and stay focused. Commit yourself to checking things off a task list every day, and just...

Great story, and congrats on your successes! I recently set up a treadmill desk as my primary workstation to increase my fitness level. Sitting behind a desk or on a couch all day is really detrimental over the long haul, especially if you're not getting any sleep.

You're going to need a lot of proxies, then. Although, it depends on the 2.0 site. Some of them allow unlimited subdomains for a single email address (wordpress), but others only allow 1 per email address (tumblr). So, figure out which sites you want to post to, and then decide how many domains...

Honestly, your best bet is to load up the SERPs with your own properties that portray your service in a more positive light. Create a bunch of articles, Web 2.0's or even another Yahoo Answers thread (or 12) and SEO the hell of them. You probably shouldn't link back to your own site with those...

I had a pretty terrible first experience with spice. I thought I could see my own heart, and I thought I had the power to make it stop beating. Of course, it was just a panic attack. I've done it more since then and only got close to that point once from some seriously potent stuff. But...

Awesome, congrats! I just hit a $45/day average this month, so I'm working on scaling everything up to turn that into $450 or more. It's exciting when stuff starts to "click". Is all of your income from a single site, or do you have a few in the background that are still producing?

Byor means "beer" in Icelandic. And the 'tz' just gives it a little more character.

Great post, and making it 'sticky' would really cut down on the number of people asking those exact questions... Well, we can hope, right? I've had really good success with web 2.0 pyramids, auto-approve spun article directories, and private blog networks, but I haven't been at this long...

Sure, I'll toss my hat in the ring. Thanks for the gift offer!
