Thanks for this. I'm going to try out the service.

Very interested in testing this, esp. with 2Captcha for better rates. Can you please send me a discount code?

Thanks. I'm using a VPN. I just can't possibly figure out why it's not taking.

Newb here on BHW, but doing this a while. I routinely build web 2.0s and haven't had a problem before with getting them to index (either from scratch or using expired Tumblrs). My last crop of 4 web 2.0 properties haven't indexed at all (going on 4 weeks now). I haven't done anything...

Received a review copy from the OP. Clean: 10/10. Ran it through Copyscape and it was clean. Writing: 8/10. Very well written by native speaker (or edited by native speaker). Good quality. Grammar: 9/10. Proper use of grammar. Words and units of measure were all in proper American...

Ah, I get where you're coming from. We'll good luck!

I received a review copy from the OP. Speed: 10/10. Very fast service - had order completed in less than 24 hours (it was probably much faster, but I was away from my computer). Niche relevant: 9/10. 3/5 were niche relevant, two were more general. I was impressed since I'd given him a very...

It's a calculated risk. If I needed an image that badly, I'd go to Flickr/Creative Commons where at least I had some measure of legal defensibility and license. On Google images, you're all on your own.

You're putting 100% of your confidence is Google's image algorithm. It's mostly right, but not 100%. If you use it, you're still assuming all the legal liability. I just checked the "labeled for reuse" and my photographer friend's name. Google came back with about 40 images of his - none are...

Yes, you can recover. Takes time. You'll need deep, original content. Not just long, but content that is authoratative and well researched. I had the same penalty on one of my small niches in 2016. I ultimately just deleted the site, moved everything to a new URL, added deep content, and...

It all depends what you're after. If it is about quality of life (cheap living, easy commutes, etc.) look to a college town. Tier II cities (Nashville, Portland - either Portland, Richmond, Ashville, Austin, etc.) don't have the headaches of the bigger cities and are still good living. But...

And Colorado Springs, where you can get your daily dose of religious intolerance and bigotry. Spent time living in Colorado, but got out when the fundys started getting really weird.

Just because an image is on Google Images doesn't mean it is free to use. Most Google images are copyrighted. So this is the same story as taking an article. Best case scenario, nobody notices. Medium risk, the original photographer has a CopyTrack account, you get hit with a violation fee...

Another move by the Big G to force the Internet to do things their way. All my monies have SSL, but I have a few PBN sites without. Need to look into this.

SSL expired, parent company is only a shell website, the guy who supposedly runs the company has a baffling social media presence. Not my cup of tea.
