    Client has 200k keywords, how do I track them.

    I have a 1000 KW client. The problem with any program I tried is it would freeze my computer, so I just broke apart the list into 300-500 KWs at a time and that seemed to help. Also it really depends on how far you want to look. I limit it to top 100 because that's what my client wants but we...

    Moving from NY to Atlanta

    I work in Midtown. Compared to locations outside of the loop it's about 50% more expensive so for a studio perhaps $1200? Try some of the apartment finders to see for yourself. Coming from NYC though everything is going to be cheap and your dollar will go a lot further. Buckhead is one of...

    Meeting my first client! What do I need to prepare?!

    Dress presentable. If a client sees you wearing business casual vs. something you'd wear in a home office or to the beach, your fees become more believable (even though you are charging only for the hosting with this one). If everything goes right, this client's word of mouth should get you...

    Going To Court! What would U do?

    If they are willing to settle and you haven't done any future work then I'd take it and walk. At least they are making an offer to settle. I used to give 30 day net terms on the clients I had and that was one of the worst years of collecting invoices in my life. Now I just collect before the...

    When does white turn grey?

    I always look at it this way. I'm not saying it's right or wrong but it is what works for me. This is how I've explained it to clients in the past. Blackhat is the automation of WhiteHat techniques. Now I'm talking specifically about things like Article Marketing, Social Bookmarking, Blog...

    How do you know when you're ready to open an SEO business for other companies?

    This is really the truth. If you can rank yourself and keep up with all of the tools and recommendations people give (ie. read this board), then you'll be fine. All a SEO business is, is to just make sure you can use your methods to rank sites and that's really about it. "Babysitting...

    Whats the value of Google Adwords Advertising Professional?

    I am certified for both Adwords and Bing so my experience is as follows: Clients like to see at least some certification to know you at least can be vouched for. It doesn't necessarily mean you're any good at PPC but it at least gives the client some due dilligence when in the early stages of...

    [TUT] How I Make At Least $3000 A Week

    How are you discovering spam trap emails consistently and filtering for them? I'm asking this because when I was managing email for someone, this guy had the server and ips except his friend gave him the email addresses and the list had traps on it about once every 300 emails. We were...

    Facebook CPC or CPM?

    CPC. Having run ppc campaigns on FB you're going to get millions of impressions in a very short time. That said, successful campaigns on FB are usually .1% - .2% CTR so you're best bet is to start with CPC. Like another reply, if CPM is better transition over to that. Good luck.

    Tupac comes back from the dead to perform one last time with snoop. Or is it the last?

    We were talking about this around the water cooler today. What if they created a tour where they had all of the Legends come back? Things like a Biggie/Tupac tour, The Jimmy Hendrix Experience, even Bonzo back on the drums for Zeppelin.

    Banned!!

    I used to PPC affiliate links and got a warning from G about it so discontinued the business model before they banned me. Basically, they do not like the Destination URLs to redirect through an affiliate link. If you were to create a landing page and the call-to-action button would then have...

    Client wants to pay me $7000 - need advice.

    I know someone who took the money under terms like this. 4 years later he is still working on the project. The best thing you can do with the client is to define the amount of time they can contact you because to everyone else's point, after 2 years if it still takes 100 hours a month to work...

    Starting a T-shirt Company..Advice?

    Used to be an affiliate manager for one. Extremely difficult market to crack. In hindsight I would have recommended to the CEO they try to rank for words like "funny t-shirts", etc. or something with low competition but full of buyers. The co. I worked for didn't have their IM strategy...

    Is anybody use pingfarm

    I love the pinger they have. Use it all the time. Very fast. The Rapid Indexer is equally as good but it's significantly slower however that's my pos internet connection.

    [Method] Finding Articles Directories for AMR without Footprints

    You're right and that was the way I was doing it. I was taking every footprint I could find and then crossing it with every word in the dictionary and it was taking me weeks to create lists. Public proxies only though because I only have 10 private proxies I use for bookmarking and so forth.

    Starting a local SEO business... any advice?

    Check out the old post by Taktical who gave away all the info you're going to need to set one up. My best advice to you is get paid upfront on any work you do vs. offering any kind of Net terms (ie. net-30). Some people know it's probably not worth suing them for less than $5000 US so they use...

    [Method] Finding Articles Directories for AMR without Footprints

    Working out the method took about 20 minutes on a treadmill. The actual implementation and getting a list together to import is just a few hours. For me it cut down the time about 5 days. It took me that long to scrape footprints.

    [Method] Finding Articles Directories for AMR without Footprints

    One of the problems I have always had with Scrapebox footprints was for me they can take forever to produce a result using public proxies or will often burn out my bandwidth quota if I am using private proxies. The last time I used footprints for article directories it took me a week to...
