I always use it because the last thing I want is for users to get confused and think they've ended up on the wrong page and leave. We know the difference but your average user doesn't understand, all they know is that websites start with WWW

Well, I posted this on here because I figured perhaps it might be common amongst people who work online. We're often isolated and work alone for countless hours on end. I read every response, so thanks for sharing your thoughts, ideas and feelings with me :)

A lot of great advice in this thread but I think my issues are a little deeper than just making a few lifestyle changes and having kids. I already do weight training 5 days a week and have a loving girlfriend who supports me in anything I do. I start my morning at 6am every day and from that...

I didn't even consider using Reddit as a traffic source even though I browse it every bloody day!

Not when you're an atheist but let's not have that discussion.

Great domain to toss up the latest game reviews on. You could pay someone just to re-write PS3 game reviews found on IGN or a similar website and monetise by linking to second hand games on eBay, linking through to Amazon or selling gaming guides. Really though, you could use that strategy on...

I do. Quite a lot actually and it impacts on my ability to work as well as my motivation. I'm not talking about the teenage blues either, I'm in my late 20's and past all the minor issues (in hindsight) that bother you when you're in your teens. We live in very interesting times but there is...

When I first started, I disregarded anything below 80 searches a day. Anyone who has done the 30DC/Challenge will know of the criteria they use and it's perfect for beginners. These days, I target every single keyword in my niche regardless of search volume because in my experience, data is...

You always run the risk of being banned from the Adsense program if you place it on an autoblog. Some people are smart enough to fly under the radar while others just get a new account. Unfortunately, most people aren't smart enough to do either.

Alot of misinformation in this thread, so I'll try to address some of it. There is a difference between being slapped and being deindexed. If you do a site command and it returns 0 results, you've been deindexed. If it returns results, you've been slapped. If you have been deindexed, simply...

Are you running Adsense on your autoblogs under your real name? If no, I'd leave the autoblog to do it's thing. If yes, I'd look at removing Adsense and swapping something else in. This can be a tough decision if autoblogs are your primary source of income.

The public PR is updated far less frequently than what it once was. There was only 1 update in 2010 (April) and we just recently had an update this year (January). mozRank isn't a bad replacement if you need to keep track of this type of stuff.

Hi people and thanks for the opportunity to participate on the forums here at BHW. I signed up to contribute some ideas I have and share what's worked and what has not worked for me over the past 3 years of doing SEO and online marketing. I'm from Australia and I'm sure there are a bunch of...

Just because you spammed a bunch profile links/comments and reached the top spot for "4 slice toaster" doesn't mean those links got you the top spot. Most of the time, a well written, optimised piece of content is responsible for getting you there, not the links. People mistakenly assume there...

Unless you have a passionate interest in your niche, you probably don't enjoy writing unique articles for your site. Outsourcing it to content writers isn't an option for everyone and spun content just doesn't rank as well as it once did (debatable, I know). So, here is a simple way to get...
