My 2c worth. I have bought about 40 domains so far, all had PR to start with although some was expired. Some were not expired and had PR when I bought them (sites were hosted, but without content). I was very meticulous about checking the links back, looking to see 'funny' links, in other words...

Hi I recently bought an expired domain that has content in the wayback machine. What is the best to do to load this domain with content, should I 1. Take the content directly as I can find it in the wayback machine and recreate the site exactly 2. Take the content from the wayback machine...

Thanks for the great info - one very important question though which you might have answered in between anything else, but I just want to make 100% sure - will this technique recover a site that has been penguinated? I am not talking about getting a google webmaster notice about unnatural links...

Hi I also have some sites penalized by penguin and I am trying the same strategies - good to hear that at least SOME of your sites have managed to make a comeback using this type of strategy. I was wondering whether a 302 redirect would work. Does anyone have any experience on this???

Well basically according to Google ALL link building practices are now blackhat, since March 2012 (at least how I see it). I used blog networks and especially Build My Rank to my main business site. They followed the links back from the Build My rank to my main site into webmaster tools. In my...

For everyone being sceptical about the method, I have read it on other sites as well so I think it does work, I am trying it out myself now. HOWEVER, let me tell you now that Wikis are wising up quickly to all the spam submissions being sent their way. I bought some lists of wikis from Fiverr...

Just a word of advice if you do want to use Webmaster tools - never ever put all your sites into one account. I did, and when they picked up some BH stuff on the one, they deindexed ALL THE OTHERS - some of whom were innocent bystanders (real above board, pure white hat sites although some had...

OOoohhhh noooo...... They DO use it to find out what websites a person owns. Let me sketch a scenario: I owned about 80 sites in a private blog network. One of these was in my WMT with my main business site, as well as about 3 or 4 of client sites for which I built websites and that I...

OK, but how can one now tell if a PR is fake? I always thought that if you do a site: or a info: that google will show up the real domain. In this case it is showing the fake domain so it looks real... It is all very well to spot a fake PR 10 since it is pretty obvious, but what about a fake...

Well let me just talk from a perspective of someone who had 70 offline SEO clients and doing well and planning on adding another 50 to the portfolio this year. Well that li'l old Penguin just basically stuffed everything up. Yes, i was overly dependent on blog networks, yes, I over optimised...

For those of you who are looking forward to the next Penguin update in the hope that it might sort things out a bit, rather be afraid... Apparently Matt Cutts made an announcement yesterday at SES San Francisco in his keynote address that the next Penguin update will have an even more noticeable...

I am going try and keep this short but I need help and advice please! My main business website appeared on the first page for my main keyword (related to the web industry) in my country for about 5 years. I used blog networks a lot to promote client sites, including BMR and I used BMR to...
