Hey all, Let's say I was trying to rank a website for a local business. Does this website need content to rank for a specific keyword? So if the website is about martial arts, is just having content on the homepage enough? Do I need to have a regularly updated blog, even if some of the blog...

Hey guys, So as the title says, I was able to get a website from page 3 to page 2 and it stayed there for a few days. I bought links from seslingshot(dot)com yesterday, rankings go up for a few hours, then drops back to page 3. Is this just a Google dance, or am I banished back to page 3? Just...

Hello, I have a very old domain (~16 years old) that has a pretty diverse backlink profile and even has links from powerful domains like nytimes.com I recently purchased 50 links from seslingshot and I'm wondering if my site is at risk? I'm noticing some people did get their sites hurt with...

Hey all, There's a local term that I want to rank a relatively new website for, but after doing some research, I realize most of the competitors on the first page utilize PBN links. Is it possible to beat these sites by building links through a link builder like Magic Submitter (what i use) or...

Hello all, So one of my clients' sites got spoofed. Basically, this is when someone copies your site, including the URLs, and redirects people in the SERPs to their site. I believe I removed the source of the hack, but Google WMT is still reading that these trash links (i.e., http://Client's...

Hello all, One of my clients' sites has been under attack and there are now > 10,000 backlinks from viagra and sex pill sites pointing to various pages to his site and even pages that don't exist (i.e., website.com/25mg-viagra-online/) How do I get rid of these backlinks? Should I just...

Hey all, So i've been trying to clear the front page of Google for a client, but their bad press just doesn't seem to go away. I wouldn't be concerned if the negative results were lower down than before, but after a day or so of being on the second page, the bad results return HIGHER than they...

Hey guys, There is a client I'm working with who's had a few bad articles written about him from some fairly authoritative sources. The links to these articles are on the front page of google. What are the best ways to get these links pushed down to the second page? Thanks,

hey guys... I recently downloaded a bunch of free themes and I'm in the middle of running the theme check plugin on each of them to see if there are any serious issues and such, but the thing is I don't really know what I'm looking for. I'm not too experienced in php, so can someone give me...

Hey all, Quick question: Will Google penalize if you transcribe a video on your website (like SEOmoz does), even if you didn't make the video yourself? For example, if you had a website on video game reviews and you found a video on youtube that reviews a certain video game, Is it okay to...

Hey guys, I'm a little unsure what the value of an EMD is nowadays. I found this EMD with 1300 local searches (i want to get it for test purposes), I offered 20$ for it seeing as how it has 0 backlinks (did site: and link: search in google). The guy asked for 3,000$ + I pay escrow.com fees...

Hi guys, So I did a little searching around the forums, but I still have a question. I'm researching my competitors right now and noticed that all of them have backlinks to their main page, but almost none of them have BLs to their inner pages. So let's say my niche is "baseball." I'll do a...

Sup? I'm here to learn as much about SEO to get my ecommerce store off the ground. I'm pretty much a noob at this, though. Can anyone point me to some threads I should read? Thanks!
