Frankly, I had a loooong list created years ago that was too complicated and that I stopped using, because there was so much stuff to pay attention that if followed through I would have never buy any site. Frankly there is too much competition that if you bother too much, you will wave that site...

I implemented 301 redirects in April on an old site that I bought. I changed the URL structure and did internal redirects because of that and of course to redirect incoming link equity to matching pages. I did a complete overhaul, added a lot of content and that resulted in 700% traffic...

This brought tears to my eyes as I can relate a bit. I am really sorry you lost her.

So you are saying once all this is in place (hosts file redirects to a forged localhost website and the forged website is using a self-signed localhost CA and the seller whitelisted all browser warnings) and the seller loads https://www.paypal.com in his browser then the URL in address bar still...

Is meathead (Thomas) still active in here or is this section more or less useless for website buying debate?

Is no one buying up here or no one doing their due diligence? Thomas?

When checking Adsense, Amazon or Paypal earnings through screenshare how do you spot a forged website? The first on the checklist is to check the hosts file on a seller's machine, but then I manipulated my hosts file and each time I got one warning or the other that the certificate doesn't...

^^^ This. It's like giving the name to the next mobile OS an "Andros" or "Mobdroid". When I see a marketplace with the word "flip" in it's name it's an immediate turnoff.

Which domain snapping services are widely used today? Back in the day as in 5 years ago when I was heavily buying expired domains I was using namejet, snapnames, pool and godaddy. Have things changed much in the recent years if any? Does any of you guys use raw domain lists and not filtered...

it will be back quickly. I let 2 of my mini money sites expire (hey, it happens) and apart from losing traffic for the 2 days they were expired nothing changed on the google part.

Actually, I checked a few more pages and I found 11, 12 ads per page. There's aprox 500-1000 words of content er page. Too ad intensive?

I am looking at GA of a blog that has been gradually losing G traffic for the last 2 years. To me it looks like it went overboard with ads. At any given position on the page there are 3 ads displayed on the screen and in total there are 6+ ads per page. I thought it's Panda slowly killing it...

I changed colors of BHW from dark to bright.

been using that a few times. it's a joke compared to ahrefs or semrush. the free version even more so.

Amen to that.

If someone told me in high school I can succeed online I would probably become a high school dropout rather than college dropout. Chemistry, god I didn't like that one. I did like to experiment with chemicals at home, though. Burned a lot of sweaters with acid, blew up things, burned things...

You can always sue Google.

One other tool: Spyfu. when comparing your site (if you have it already) against competition. Very useful in grasping how far ahead they are with their keyword pool. And you just grab the keywords they are using (ranking) and you are not. Actually Semrush has such comparisons too, but spyfu is...

Insanely good are Ahrefs and Semrush. Possibily combined. Forget the free tools. Google's Keyword planner is good for one thing only and that's for checking volume & cpc. As for suggestions it's gonna underreport keywords. It may offer some alternatives, however... this is the way I dig out all...

I've worked with plenty of easterners and decided to try westerners for a change. Posted a job (on upwork) and only 10% were westerners. I understand they feel overrun by cheap workforce from the east, but they too have to sell their skill somewhere. Where would that be?
