One of my sites was hit hard in the August/September updates, and is now starting to return to almost pre-update levels of traffic. Also, generally much higher quality serps for the particular niche as a several of my competitors w\ good-to-great content are starting to rank again as well. Kind...

Excel. My file is aptly named "The Bible". Yeah, it is a pain in the ass. Be pretty vigilant if dealing with cheap hosts too, they tank often. Write down and organize any information you can think of... it will save you tons of time in the future. I've had my fair share of tough lessons from...

SEO changing? To shreds you say? Yeah. Change is pretty much the only constant in SEO. If you're not willing to take a few hits, you're not cut out for it. Best of luck.

If you're trying to rank for a term that isn't directly targeted by the page you're trying to outrank, or if the page you're trying to outrank is weak, it shouldn't take too long. Stronger pages will take longer. There is no clear cut answer for this, so don't listen to anyone who tries to give...

This is all part of SEO, and you'll get used to it in time. I started SEO at 16, so I likely wasn't as emotionally developed, and I remember what you're talking about. For me, it can sometimes be frustrating when trying to briefly rank for periods that would be incredibly profitable (trends...

I had the same position as OP temporarily to get experience from the other side of the field during the original panda updates (contracted through leapforce). The stuff he is saying is true; however like he said it is a very subjective job. They give you subjective guidelines, and so you get...

Those expenses are hella high for that level of income in nearly every niche (assuming it's not paid traffic). I'd suggest telling him/her to work on that first. If he/she does that, they might not want to sell it.

Typically, it just means they're blocking spiders access to their blog network, or in some cases, other links. Occasionally, especially with the lower comp KWs, they really don't have great links and Google gives them authority based on their on-site, or possibly even website citations (which...

They can work out decently, but they shouldn't be your entire linking strategy. Their effectiveness really depends on how they're made, and the competition of the KWs you're targeting. Do some testing with lower comp KWs you want to rank for and see where it goes. GL

As most have stated, they're good for link diversification and can be good for branding. On occasion, they can pick up and you can really get some good traffic from them, and sometimes some good links as well, but that's the exception and not the rule. Whether it's worth it depends on your...
