I have no idea what you're talking about, but sure let's go with that. A serious discussion on this change was obviously taking place there.

Probably because that thread had literally one of the dumbest reply chains I've seen on BHW in awhile, and that's saying a lot.

Google announced after close of markets today that they are splitting their company into a holding company called "Alphabet" which will manage all of their dream products that they lose tens of billions on (Calico, Google+, Self-driving cars, Google Loon, etc.) and a separate entity called...

New sites you just got hosted, or even new posts, getting cached does not have anything to do with any of this.

I, in fact, told people this is what is going on 7/29. Not a single one of my over 1100 PBN sites or dozens of money sites have been crawled and cached since the 26th. http://www.blackhatworld.com/blackhat-seo/black-hat-seo/778512-pbn-not-passing-link-juice.html#post8120997 This is Panda 4.2...

It varies on how many I add and how many I delete in any given year (fallout is roughly 5% annually due to loss of authority or otherwise) but usually $20-25k/year for hosting and renewal.

I started buying them in a very "down period" of time in interest, from 2012 onward. 3 years is a long time to accumulate, though 700 or so of them were purchased in the first 2 years, I've still acquired about 400 more since..

What I said definitely isn't bullshit, but the circle jerk of people on BHW who don't know any better will probably continue to say otherwise. For someone with a PBN that's over 1100 sites , all TF/CF > 40, unspammed, and many have tremendous authority (DA/PA >70, TF/CF >50) you can at least...

Google did roll back all of the Penguin updates, at least all but the most recent one. They have remained rolled back ever since that post was made. I heavily monitor such things. However, I didn't even mention Penguin so.

Not surprisingly every person so far in this thread has given poor advice. If you are worried about lack of changes seen in the last one to two weeks this is a direct result of Panda 4.2 Anytime Google does a big update to their algorithm (well mostly they just run a cleanup tool the...

This has been a consistent trend in Google updates for the last 2 years in my opinion. Size = authority to Google, and even if they aren't relevant to the search, Google assumes everyone wants to wind up on the same hundred or so websites.

I noticed this started Sunday, and my tracking tools clearly saw major shakeups last night. All this update appears to have done though, for the most part, is just increase the authority of authority sites more, and increase the likes of big sites (forbes,walmart, etc) in the results.

Spam has always been everywhere, but there was a cycle of spam in and out of niches, new sites up and down over the years. People who keep comparing their tiny shitty micro niche sites they built 6 months ago that they lost in Penguin 3.0, this isn't even what I'm talking about. I'm talking...

This "unfounded claim" was produced from direct data I took. Sure the title is a bit "off-putting" but this does appear to be what happened. I'm seeing sites previously harmed in the very first penguin incarnation (note I'm not seeing just one or two come back, but hundreds, usually those that...

So, my metrics and tracking are showing a complete rollback of all Penguin updates, dating back to 2012. That's right, sites previously punished and not showing since 2012 era are now back ranking in the top 10 for huge terms again. It appears that pure (GSA/SB/Xrumer) spam sites are still...

Very few backlinks with any authority, likely the higher PA/DA sites are crappy quality anyway that are linking to it. No idea on the site's metrics itself, but I imagine they're TF/CF below 10 based upon those links. Beyond that, there's literally thousands of such domains out there that are...

Somewhere between $0 and 75 cents

Basically nothing worth buying will be freely available post expiration these days.

My tools and the ~ 1000 keywords I watch say there was a major update. I'm quite happy with it, all of my sites increased even further again.

Manipulating user-agents in order to bypass blocked content from crawlers or attempts to gain access to sites not permitted by design is typically going to be seen as unlawful in the US. Google does use a few user-agents, but these user-agents are controlled (and likely trademarked) by Google...
