    How to tell if a firm is using BlackHat tactics when we paid for Whitehat?

    legal boundaries no, ethical...ehh. Posting hundreds of unrelated(spam) comments on blogs sounds a little unethical to me. I'm not passing judgment I just don't want the company to go under because Google decided to de-index us based off some sketchy sh*t.

    How to tell if a firm is using BlackHat tactics when we paid for Whitehat?

    :rolleyes: You're assuming they know what they're doing. The IM guys are a one person department so everything gets outsource and this firm was suggested by a consultant and I don't trust consultants. Exactly, thus the enquiry from me. I'm getting the full details but after reading this...

    How to tell if a firm is using BlackHat tactics when we paid for Whitehat?

    I think we're paying a few grand a month for this service. If the links are bad(blogs, directories) would it be the same to just purchase some of those tools to do it?

    How to tell if a firm is using BlackHat tactics when we paid for Whitehat?

    Heh, I'm not in the marketing department I'm in engineering so I don't know the links(I've sent a request to see them) but I heard in our meeting the other day the stats of how fast they are creating links and it got me thinking. It's a small local firm so I doubt they have that many...

    Autoblog all on one domain or multiple?

    So I want to start an autoblog as a test, should I do 100 subdomains on one domain or 20 subdomains on 5 domains? The autoblogs are going to be generated in what's popular so the topics probably wont be very related. Also, does it matter what the domain is? Can I just make something up as long...

    I'm worried that they're using some of the tools listed on this site. They are promising 2000 backlinks a week, is this possibly without blackhat methods?

    Has anyone used Amazon?

    Their micro instances(VPS) cost about $7/month and could easily host dozens of sites. They also offer S3 which you can host static files on.

    Noob Questions. Domains, IPs, interlinking.

    Just getting my feet wet and I'm trying to start off with some questions. I noticed that some people use one domain with subdomains while other register tons of different domains. What's your experience with this, if I'm going to target the same set of keywords should I just use one domain...
