My chess sales site is already high ranking - but I need to keep it that way! For at least one phrase it has an authority listing in Google, for others it's number one - but has just slipped to number two due to the hard work of one of my competitors. Monthly - ongoing - forever. Please...

There are many ways to get links and banners from other sites - just make sure they put the nofollow tag so you don't get any aggro from G. Search forums such as this one for advertsing. A note of warning though. Using this method I increased traffic to my sales site by 20 times! However no...

Make sure it's not been hacked - it happens all the time. See the code (or View Source). Is there anything there that wasn't put there by you. Some hacks are obvious, full of v1agra, but others are just a js line at the bottom. Otherwise... I'd relax. It's probably a help up for the start of...

Squidoo. Oh dear. A site becomes known as free link passing and we all pile in. The SE's also get to know and relegate the value of it for links. That happened at least 2 years ago.

I had a trial copy a while ago and came to the conclusion that it' snot worth the time and effort. Some things can't be automated. The IBP system looks at keywords in the title tag and keyword density in the page. This is better done by a human, especially since LSI is a factor. The system also...

Yeah - me too. It takes a bit of black hat to improve a little white hat

Google are staffed by 'people'. They aren't stupid. They know what's going on, and some things are tolerated - some are penalised

What does it matter? The domain has become recognised as spammy by the major SE(s).

I'll do some research on this

Even if it's not exact, it gives a good idea of the health and stability of the site. If I was buying something from the web, having a pr zero would feel insecure and doubtful, but if the site was pr 5 or so I'd have a feeling of security, like this company has been around a while and isn't just...

I have sites that would benefit from this, I'll PM you

Had a suite of wordpress blogs hosted by them and all of them (over 10) were inactivated by wordpress admin. They are mor0ns. The sites were not spammy, full of good original content and cost me a lot to develop. I would never recommend going with them.
