I’ve been a member of BHW for more than six years and a lurker far longer than that. I’ve learned a ton from this forum and I’d like to give something back to the community. A free article is something most of us can use, so it seems like a logical giveaway. I’m a native English speaker and have...

Hi all, a few months ago I let a few of my sites expire because the domains were punished. I started another site that competes in the same niche as the old sites. Can/should I use my old content on my new site or sites or will they have a duplicate content or other type of penalty?

Hi all, I have a question about selling sites. If I buy a site from someone, do I have to wait a minimum amount of time before the domain is transferred again?

Hi all I had a site get punished after Penguin 2.0 but it still gets a few hundred visitors per month so I'd like to keep that site in addition to creating a new one. However, the keyword gets over 100k searches per month so I want to target it with a fresh site and get on page one again...

Hi all, I've never tried 301 redirects. I have a site that's ranking really well and I want to experiment with 301 redirects. Will setting one up on that domain affect the SEO of the site?

Hi all, when Penguin 2.0 was rolled out, I had a bunch of sites obliterated, many dropped hundreds of ranks. Today I noticed that these sites are back on page 1 with no work from me whatsoever. I haven't even updated the content on these sites. What could explain this? What exactly did...

Hi all, I got into the IM scene after Panda and Penguin had been released so I've always been careful with my backlinking. Over the past year I've had 16 sites, and only one disappeared from Google never to return. Basically what I'm asking is, is getting a ranking penalty far more common than...

Hi all, I couldn't find any information on this, but I use GSA SER to build some of my tier 2 and below backlinks. I've been told using static links such as Whois links is bad for tier 1, but is it acceptable for tier 2 and below? Thanks!

Hi all, as I understand it, some OCR programs can read Recaptcha, but they're extremely expensive. I need to solve around 400,000 recaptchas a day and paying people to solve that would be more than $600 a day. Anybody know of any software that would be significantly cheaper than that if any...

First of all, I'd like to thank all the helpful members on these forums. Some of the stuff you guys have taught me has been crucial to my success to this point. First a background, in summer of 2010 I tried getting into SEO and I failed miserably, never making any money. I went back in early...

Hi all, I currently rent a VPS that I use with GSA SER, Scrapebox, GSA Captcha Breaker, Zennoposter and Xrumer as well as a few other smaller programs. I'm looking at a quad core Xeon with 16GB of RAM and I can't decide if an SSD would be helpful with this software. Anyone know if an SSD is...

Hi all, the past few months have been good for me thanks to the folks here at BHW. I'm getting pretty good at off page SEO, however I haven't paid much attention at all to on page SEO. I have a bunch of Wordpress sites and I'm not sure how to optimize them. Should I use a plugin to help me...

I currently have a site with an EMD that promotes an illegal copy of a movie. Competition was low and it received hundreds of thousands of searches per month. Is having a site like this illegal, even if I don't host any illegal content? Thanks in advance.
