What are the limits of niche relevance when it comes to the way G looks at websites? For example, if you have a financial site, what is considered relevant and what is considered off topic? Where is the boundary? Financial site >> Banking? Financial site >> Insurance? Financial site >> Payday...

What are the boundaries of relevance with G? For example, if I decide to change the niche of my site a little bit, how far is too far in respect to the current PR, backlink relevance, content relevance etc? How closely related do niches/topics/content need to be in or to be considered relevant...

I have a high PR site that, to make a long story short, I am not that interested in building on. How beneficial will it be if I do a 301 from the high PR site to a brand new one of the same niche? Some people are saying 301 will pass along the PR and most of the benefits to the new site, and...

I have a PR4 financial site made in 2008 and there has been no new posts since then. Barely any traffic, about 50 visitors per month. Only 12 sites linking in but 3 of them are PR5s and 1 is a PR6. The content is unique but boring, useless and outdated. Would you build on the site or make a new...

I'm purchasing a PR4 finance site and I want to know why the hell it's a PR4. Don't get me wrong I'm obviously happy with that, but it doesn't make sense to me. Domain was registered in 2008...It's a directory site to different financial institutions and each listing contains no content except...

I am about to purchase a PR4 site that runs on Drupal, which I want migrated to Wordpress. I am not familiar with Drupal and have no interest in learning a new platform, as programming is clearly not my expertise. I need the site to be migrated over to Wordpress where I will then feel...

I've been writing / blogging for years and I have a few sites in different niches that I have made quite popular. I'm not interested in doing anything other than writing articles, as opposed to marketing products and optimizing margins etc. I really don't care what I am writing about, and my...

I just bought a financial site with a 6 year old PR4 domain. The articles are all very old and basically useless, so my plan is to restructure the site entirely and make completely new content. Will it hurt the site / domain's pagerank and other factors if I totally redo the site? Under the...

About to start monetizing a traffic source with a review site, but I have never done the review site thing before. Should I have a few positive reviews and then some products that I do negative reviews for too? Not sure if it's better to just review products that I "like" or to do both positive...

I have a few sites ranking for some buying keywords and the amount of conversions versus the amount of traffic is far below what I want it to be. Lots of you guys seem to be breezing by with Amazon but I obviously don't have the right formula or something because the traffic is there and it's...

I have been having some success with EMDs and I'm wondering how far they can be pushed these days. My current sites are on 3 word EMDs and they were so easy to rank it was ridiculous. I ranked #2 for a buying keyword with my EMD before I even had a single post on my site, only the basic pages...

I'm assuming this theory isn't new, but I've been thinking about it and want to know if others have tried some variation of it. So much of the emphasis in new algorithms seems to be based on authority and trust, so could you build a page on a reputable website and then do off-site seo for that...

I have several different shopping-related niches that I will be covering for my new project. My question is, is it smarter to do a separate site for each niche (fairly broad niches, not micro) or do one big authority site which covers all of the niches divided into different categories? I am...

For the last 4+ years I've been reading internet marketing information (on Google, which maybe I should have been doing here instead) and then trying to put a plan into action, but with no success. I am an intelligent person and am very passionate about being successful online but can't seem to...

I am going to be starting a forum based around a very popular topic and, therefore, don't want to leave any weaknesses for future competition to exploit. My question revolves around vBulletin forum licensing. I got some helpful recommendations from some fellow BHW members about free forum...

I'm hoping somebody will be humble enough to tell me how people are doing this. I've seen several CPA affiliate sites where they have their own form to fill-out, instead of sending the user to the affiliate page with their form. The user fills out this third-party form, which gives the user the...

I am very confused lately as far as the relationship between EMDs and the newest search algorithms. Over the last several months I see and hear tons of conversations about how G shot down the benefits people were getting from EMDS, yet I constantly see EMDs at the top of searches. So I bought a...

I am making a forum but vBulletin is too expensive. I tried bbPress but now that it's a wordpress plugin it sucks as a standalone forum, I can't get forum categories to show in the menu as categories and blah blah blah. Very disappointed with bbPress's lack of compatibility. Somebody PLEASE...

I have a few websites monetized by subscriptions and I was interested in getting into affiliate marketing. The problem is that I get my traffic through SEO and a guy was telling me earlier that affiliate sites (or more accurately, sites with affiliate links etc.) are hard to rank on Google now...

I have a couple legal/domain related questions that I'm hoping some of you guys can help me with. 1) I have a domain that I want to buy but I'm not sure if it's legal to use. Let's say there's a website called australianchocolateforumDOTcom and I register australianchocolateforumDOTcomDOTau...
