    My tip for finding strong expired domains on expireddomains.net

    Search for domains containing year numbers such as 2017 etc..., e.g. blabla2017.com There are always temporary summits, congresses, initiatives, stuff like that, that are bound to a certain year. After a few or even just one year most often they let go these domains They are usually quite...

    Trying to find out how a particular article publisher apparently hides links it sells, from Ahrefs, and possibly Google, too

    So I have this Publisher that I am considering buying an article from for about 1000 Euro I am working with 3 agencies and checked a ton of article publisher sites but this case left me stunned: Site looks great, DR 50 only, but immense traffic (200 k+) and ranking for relevant keywords. Not...

    Affiliate commission: Recurring VS One-Time

    It seems one-time is more common and probably more popular? In theory, recurring is good / better as it builds up over time? Of course only, if the merchant is reliable. What is your preferred payout method: Recurring or one-time commissions?

    Got an invoice from Cloudflare for a free account. It says amount due "0" but still....

    This, combined with paying customers complaining about billing issues ... I think Cloudflare was too good for too long. Seems they now want to start actually earning money. Which I don't mind but it seems people get surprised with the bills, just as I was when I got that "0" amount invoice I...

    How do the resource limitation features of CloudLinux compare to a "real" VPS, e.g. a Proxmox KVM?

    Is CloudLinux a viable alternative to a KVM VPS when the goal is to limit resources such as RAM, CPU and maybe IOPS based on account tier? When the flexibility for the user to install stuff, which is probably much greater with a KVM VPS, is not important. One could provide the full CPanel...

    Your favourite Web Hosting Control Panel

    Please choose your favourite web hosting control panel. Only 10 options here in the forum so I combined KeyHelp / Hestia / Virtualmin / Webmin. (but they are not related AFAIK) I am wondering if it has to be CPanel or Plesk, not necessarily for the cost alone, maybe they are too overwhelming...

    Removing GSC, GA & other Google tools for "less surveillance", hiding user signals -> success?

    A BHW user reports success with removing GSC, possibly leading to less (potentially negative) insight for Google, and improving traffic (or at least, indexing?) through this: https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/new-website-got-index-super-slow-until-i-did-this.1603508/post-17765801 Ahrefs and...

    Using multiple affiliate networks (as a merchant) simultaneously for better reach?

    Apart from the costs ($3000 CJ, $700 or so Shareasale) - using more than one network as a merchant - could it be worth it? What are your experiences or thoughts?

    From a merchant's (web hosting) perspective: Which Affiliate Network do you recommend, CJ, Shareasale, others?

    I think Godaddy is on CJ, offering 10% recurring. Many other Web Hosts seems to run in-house programs, offering high one-time payouts, and don't use a network. As someone who might or does use web hosting affiliate programs (as an affiliate or merchant), which network do you like and why...

    Explaining to employers and clients: Traffic drops through Google updates

    I started a SEO position at a place that was doing rather well. The recent updates hit us hard, reducing traffic to less than half, after I've been here for a couple months. I am so annoyed that I have an uphill battle on my hands now. Combine this with the suspicion the employer just has to...

    Updating content like a madman (20 times) - success?

    According to the leaked Google papers, Google keeps track of older page version by saving the last 20 versions and you would have to update the page 20 times until it "forgot" what was on the page previously. Anybody increase their update frequency? I plan to do more updates. We were already...

    GSC - Number of "Links" (Backlinks) displayed in Google Search Console greatly reduced from hundreds to 6, since a few days

    I had not seen this before, is this some temporary glitch that happens sometime? The number of backlinks displayed in the Google Search Console, for a site that was affected (-60%) by the March-to-May Google updates, is greatly reduced all of a sudden. It used to be 200 or so, now it only...

    Google ranking recovery may take months and several core updates

    Not sure if this was posted yet: https://developers.google.com/search/updates/core-updates?#how-long-does-it-take-to-recover-from-a-core-update According to the article above one probably has to wait at least until the next core update (within 1 to 4 months?) to possibly recover. Bigger issues...

    Too many KW backlinks - best way to dilute backlink profile

    We were hit rather hard (-50+ %) by these recent March-May updates in the finance niche. I am pretty sure it is the way over-optimised backlink profile. Regardless of that the site was doing pretty well to my surprise, until recently, so I didn't do much to dilute until now. How to dilute the...
