Got the report for my first sample order. Already moved a few spots up the first page for my target term so will definitely be making another order soon. Thx!

Order placed 6/26, still no report. 43A62914HX471054U.

Very nice, can't believe I haven't noticed that before.

I am glad they are improving the approval process. It may make them even more authoritative in Google's eyes.

I would take my time, maybe even 1 or 2 a day, even skipping a day occasionally, and boost with some social signals to speed up indexing.

Generally, subdomains are treated as separate entities but there are always exceptions to that. With your example, and I assume you mean strawberry.blogspot and ice-cream.blogspot, you may reach a point of diminishing returns especially if the content is closely related.

You have to include an address and and unsubscribe link, that is pretty much it.

Not good at all. Let's hope they have fixed the exploit otherwise there may be some vindictive SEOs reeking havoc on old client accounts!

Are the EMD's local in nature? In other words, do they have cities or states in the names? Have seen those still performing even after the EMD update. Other than that, they likely could have links from sites or even a network that is blocking the Rogerbot. Check a few different indexes and see...

I would start with the Google provided docs and then maybe check out http://www.ppchero.com/ for some more advanced guides.

You probably want to have some nofollow links in the mix just make your profile look natural.

I have seen (and purchased) domains that have PR but only have nofollow links so I think it is more of a suggestion rather than a rule for the algo. These days, it probably looks very unnatural to not have any or very few nofollow links so I would not focus too much on only getting "followed" or...

Since the EMD is just removing the bump, it seems that you are back to straight SEO and content and should be able to recover. I think this is a good opportunity if you have a diverse strategy and havent been focused exclusively on emds.

Great, now the first time a newb has a rankings drop he has the opportunity to snitch on his provider. I gotta give it to Google, they are devious bastards.

I predict a few outcomes as a result of this: 1) People who make rookie link building mistakes will be quick to use this at the first sign of a rankings drop. 2) The data collected will not automatically trigger an action but if your site is on the receiving end of too many of these, you can...

May as well do subdomains rather than buy a ton of additional domains. Also, if you just silo the content so that you are not plastering one page with anchor text links, then you will probably be OK from an SEO standpoint.

I agree with you that they are important, especially for future-proofing your link profile. But, links and content are still more important and social is pretty useless if it is not directed to quality content. I think a lot of people have an issue with social from a link building standpoint...

Could have been the latest update targeting EMD's. You also did not mention how you varied your anchor text so if you were hammering a few exact match phrases, that could also put you on the radar as well.

You should probably use a service like Aweber and send an opt-in email before marketing to that list.
