    Easy/Boring Jobs

    Hey everyone, I was hoping for some suggestions: What is a job that is easy and/or boring and offers the best work-life balance? Something like the night host at a radio station that nobody listens to... Like many of you, I don't believe that my most likely path to success is in a "regular"...

    Back After Four Years

    Hey everyone! I was here about four years ago, hanging out and doing the SEO grind every day. I ran a few websites; I made some affiliate income from a few and sold another one for a nice chunk of change. I left the SEO world behind to focus on some other things in life, but now I've decided...

    AdWords Keyword tool: what happened to exact/broad/phrase options?

    I'm trying to research keywords for a new niche, and I am having trouble... I remember you have to select "exact" match when looking at search terms, because that's the real picture of how many people are actually typing that in. But Google recently updated their AdWords keyword tool, and now...

    How do you guys pick niches?

    I have a website right now that I've put a ton of work into, but it has failed to make any money. I think it's because I chose a crappy niche and hence, got crappy keywords. So what's your process for picking a niche? I'm just kind of lost here... Thanks for any advice.

    How did they get so many backlinks?

    I have one website right now. I submitted it to web directories, social bookmarking sites, and I've been building high quality, handmade Web 2.0 sites that link to it and blasting them with bulk backlink packages from Fiverr. Ahrefs is showing that I have 150-something backlinks right now. But...

    Fake credentials

    So many people on BHW have written ebooks on some subject about which they are very knowledgeable, I'm sure. But seeing as how they are here on this forum, they obviously take the more independent approach to their work and may not have a college degree or any other qualifications. Basic...

    How does SEO benefit from posting PDFs on doc sharing sites?

    I see many SEO blueprints that require writing a .pdf document of some kind and posting it on doc review sites (such as Scribd, SlideShare, etc.) How exactly does this help with my SEO? Do I place a link into the text of the .pdf, and the search engines will crawl it? I just want to make sure...

    Anyone know what happened here?

    So I check ahrefs every day to see how my site is progressing. I checked it on Monday and all was looking fairly normal, but something weird happened between then and last night: - My backlinks jumped from 66 to 120, most of which have the anchor text of my main keyword. - My "404 Redirected"...

    Not sure about types of backlinks...

    So I'm on ahrefs looking at my backlink profile, and I see this category with the following items: - Text - Redirect - Frame - Form A few questions: - Redirect link: is this when you purchase a domain and just set it up to redirect to your site? Or is it a PHP redirect that they're talking...

    Quick question about creating Web 2.0 backlinks

    So most guides say to have other outbound links on your Web 2.0 properties in addition to the link to your money site. My question is, should all the links be related to the niche? Loosely related? Not related at all?

    Are my backlinks UNindexed, or DEindexed?

    So I've been making Web 2.0 sites for backlinks using 100% unique articles (hand written by me; none of them from article spinners) I went through my list to make sure they were all active still and I figured I might as well check if they're indexed while I'm at it. I Googled the URL of the...

    Commenting on your own blog for SEO purposes?

    A couple questions: 1. When ranking websites, does Google take blog post comments into account as a sign that a website is active and popular? 2. If so, can I just make these comments myself? Because as the webmaster, I'm the only one who can see that they all came from the same IP, right?

    Pinging Scrapebox/XRumer backlinks

    So I've been making Web 2.0 sites for my Tier 1 backlinks to the main money site. Then I've been blasting them with relatively small amounts of automated blasts of backlinks (a couple hundred per URL at a time) as per Kimi's thread here...

    Business sense

    I always read about people having good business sense. These people appear to just know if a certain thing is a good investment, how to steer business deals in their favor, etc. How does one go about developing this fabled business sense? Any good books on the subject?

    What was it like in the old days of SEO?

    I remember in the late 90s (when I was a 10 year old kid trying to bypass AOL's porn filter) I'd always see websites with walls of text at the bottom; all of them keywords. Usually either in tiny print, or made the same color as the background so you couldn't see it unless you highlighted it...

    Facebook Like service for like button on WEBSITE?

    I see that AddMeFast and YouLikeHits only work for actual Facebook pages. Is there a service that will provide clicks to the actual like buttons on my website? Thanks.

    Gambling keywords banned??

    I'm trying to research new keywords on the Google keyword tool. I guess the cat is out of the bag that it's the gambling niche. But I hardly see any keyword ideas at all. Most of the time they are completely unrelated to gambling; here are a few examples: what is copyright free games online...

    Page 1, #3 on Google, but no traffic

    I've been running this website for a while and I'm finally on page 1, in third place (just checked it now; still there even after Penguin 2.0) According to the Adwords keyword tool, my main keyword has: 4,400 Global Monthly Searches 2,400 Local Monthly Searches Still, my traffic is in the...

    How do they catch me??

    So I've been creating Web 2.0 sites for backlinks, as per Kimi's SEO blueprint. I have a big list of the ones that work, and I just go down the list creating sites on them, then when I'm through all of them, I go through another proxy and do it all over again. Something odd happened. On...

    Copyright issues with banners?

    Mornin, BHW. I was in Photoshop creating a banner for a new site I started up and I realized I'm actually pretty good at making them. This gave me the idea to start a service on Fiverr or something. Before my Photoshop skills were very well developed, I bought a banner from a similar service...
