We were just having this exact conversation this morning about 6 domains we have in the same situation. They were originally built to be money sites (thin, but waiting for indexing) and we have realized we want to focus harder on a couple sites that are paying well and rank them more / higher...

BINGO! Exactly what I needed. I've been using grafio.com on my iPad without the integration for online access. bubbl.us looks like a great solution. I'll add this to the top post as a tool for organization! Thanks for sharing. :)

Excellent contribution. I'll look into this. I've been getting a bit frustrated with coggle.it even though I love it as it's hard to build out beyond my buffer site. Need something that is more open source and let's me free build projects. I'll take a look at Freemind. I have something...

Hey everyone, I've only been hard at my IM work for about 6 months and prior to that off and on for about 2 years total. In that time my portfolio size has grown substantially and exponentially as of late. I'm finding it harder and harder to keep all of my stuff straight, easy to find, easy...

It took me over a month to get GSA SER to run smoothly on my home desktop. After we got the settings dialed in it was a link building beast. Only recently did we move it to a VPS to increase our abilities. If you can't get SER to run on a slow computer, a fast computer won't help. For me to...

So you don't have any extra software to expand the abilities of your windows desktop? In that case chase Mr. Gates also. GSA SER is challenging for certain and there are a BAJILLION things you can do wrong with it, but that's what makes SEO so fun. If it was easy, everyone would do it. If...

This. If I had to rate programs by their ability to both blow your mind while also driving you up the wall GSA SER would be one. It's an incredible software, but it is NOT easy. It's like learning to fly a small airplane and then jumping in a fighter jet. SEO is very complicated and if you...

After years away from forums and nearly having given up on a digital "social" life these types of threads inspire me to get back to sharing actionable insights and doing case studies in the public eye. Amazing the good that can come from it and if theres a 50% flame ratio, that's pretty. Ever...

Sorry to hear about your site. Unfortunatlely we're all trying to stay ahead of the updates I suppose. Oh goog. It's a vicious reality banking your livelyhood on a search engine. :-/ Thanks for sharing your experience. We actually had a severe duplicate content penalty back in Aug on 2 sites...

I agree. It's cloudy though why some sites rank instantly, even though we heavily research each domain prior to buying to verify it's history. We're doing some case studies with expiring and expired domains too. This will help us frame some of the results we're getting. Perhaps I'll try to get...

Great question! They appear to be pretty much prisitine niches. In one of the niches there is an existing Affiliate site. Appears to have a pretty strong PBN behind it, but has lost a lot of it's links on the tier 1 sites so it's slipping in ranking. They also have a recent flood of parasite...

Very intradesting! I'm working on a project very similar to this. Following!

Good question Golonzo, That's always something I worry about especially with automated link building. We try to make sure we're reasonably diverse. Less than 10% exact match, partial match, secondary match. The rest naked urls and generic words. Here's a sample chart of our link profile on...

Need some ideas if people could chip in their thoughts or ideas. I'm thinking, penalties, sandbox, time?? We built 6 different sites, different niches, different hosting etc about 3 months ago. Of the 6: 1 site ranked overnight to #3 in yahoo and has had traffic since day 1 and produced a...

Here are a few contractors I have used on Fiverr with great success and one that didn't deliver on the service nor make things right. Can't post links apparently so just append those to the fiverr url Recommend:: SEO services: /crorkservice (perhaps the #1 SEO service on Fiverr) Amazing...
