Personally I use a hybrid solution (sendy) of self hosting which makes use of third party SMTP providers.. In my case I leverage Amazon SES and with that you get 10,000 emails for free daily quota. You can also set it up to use Mandrill which I suspect has better deliverability but unable to...

They seem to use billing as a general reason even if it has nothing to do with the ban. If you really want to get your account back without going down the road of creating a fake account as chances are they will detect that then I recommend the following: 1) Make changes to your ad landing page...

The only legitimate way to get your adwords account back again is to fix the violation which is causing the ban. Hence you will need to make changes to your website and then submit an appeal. Also you can call them directly (its probably the only Google service where you can do that) and can...

I went through a ban myself and the only legitimate way to get your account back is to make changes with correcting the error and then filing a submission for review/appeal. It can be a lengthy process which in my case took almost 4 months of changes with a document outlining the changes...

Hold on.. So you are saying that G informed you within WMT that your two sites have been hit by a manual penalty even though in your WMT account these web sites are not listed?????? That does not sound right at all... G do not read minds.... That said the only way you can get out of a manual...

If it is only a particular section of a web page requiring a refresh from the client side with running a javascript code already on your page then you do not need to use AJAX... AJAX is for sure the answer should the refresh require calls from server to run algo's and/or info pulled from a...

I personally would not use spun articles for your main blog aka money site... Its not going to read very well and chances are it will be easy to detect duplicate content... Use spun content for your tier 1 (and 2 if you want to go that deep) with them providing backlinks in order to improve your...

What ever you choose its not going to work well unless you have SPF and DKIM setup in order to hit the in-box... SPF is easy to setup on your web hositing, however some additional configuration is needed with DKIM on the SMTP side as well as your hosting account e.g. Amazon SES... Your chosen...

If you still have the https certificate then I would use the canonical tag pointing to http page version. Otherwise do a page for page 301 redirect in your .htaccess file e.g. Redirect 301 https:/<blahblah domainname.com>/page1.php http:/<blahblah domainname.com>/page1.php

LOL - That's well cool (!!!) I reckon you're not a seasoned IM'er if you haven't had such accounts banned and learned from it.... e.g. FB, Adwords as well as YT- lost them and managed to get em back and learned a ton of things on the way lol.... Personally I recommend not to depend on such...

Just occurred to me... In addition the backlinks could be hidden due to robots.txt preventing the major seo data providers from crawling e.g. moz, majestic, ahrefs etc... Just add /robots.txt at the end of the website url and you will see it... and can confirm if this is the case... If...

Have a look at wikipedia as that is a great example of a silo site which has tons of internal links... as well as outgoing links which combined will help you with your on-page seo efforts...

I used to use market samurai but now think its a waste of time the only good thing is the seo competition section which is based on majestic seo data... Most of these tools use G's keyword planner tool - which is focused towards adwords.... The problem with the data is that it does not give a...

Due to the low count on backlinks... then the culprit has got to be the panda penalty which is related to your on-page seo... Check for over optimized keywords in particular... Also check index count of your pages on G as if that is low then that too is a big reason... Look at your meta robots...

Check to see if the website has https as the links could being going to that and then canonicalized to http... Chances are they have a bunch of sites which have 301 redirected.... But how to find that is not easy at all... you may get some clues by searching for the website in question and...
