    PBN with domains that have been used for IM before

    Hey guys, So I know the general rule of thumb is that, if you check a domain on the wayback archive and it's been used for chinese/pharma/other IM uses before, disregard it. However, all the best domains I seem to be finding have this sort of history. These sites have great CF/TF and a decent...

    Guest blog post (with link) vs just a link

    Hey guys, I've found a website which accepts guest blog posts, but also provides a link exchange service. I'd obviously host the link then remove it as soon as I was approved. My question is, in terms of ranking in the SERPs is there any benefit to the actual blog post? Like does having...

    If you can sneak a n0follow onto an authority site, is it worth putting in a couple?

    Hey guys, First off that should read d0follow in the title. I found an authority site in my niche which normally nofollows all their links. However, I found a field where the nofollow isn't added. I've put in a hyperlink there with my main keyword, but I'm wondering if I should try and get...

    Diluted link juice from an authority site

    Hey guys, I managed to get a link onto a website which, according to my analysis, is somewhat of an authority site (domain authority of 82).

    Slider which auto resizes to width of image being displayed.

    Hey guys, The "featured product" sliders on my website are very wide (1400x430px) and, due to the nature of the products, the images are often different widths (though I have fixed the height). I can't stretch the images to fit the width otherwise they end up completely out of proportion and...

    Wordpress site - to use CAPTCHAs for user comments or not?

    Hey guys, I'm deliberating whether or not I should implement CAPTCHAs in the user comment areas of my product review site.
