If you are going to restore the old site from wayback here are my recommendations. 1. Make sure the content isn't still live anywhere else on the internet 2. Make sure the content doesn't look like it is at any risk of copyright 3. Find a way to correlate the content to your subject. The...

Agreed. Don't try setting up any tiered systems. Focus on great keyword specific and semantic content that has value to the visitor. If you are going to do some linking do direct linking, don't try setting up any sort of network until you really really understand it.

Depends on why you think it's worth $900. Is it because estibot told you so? Not a horrible starting point, but their algorithm is almost completely based on search volume and CPC. Again, not bad at all. It's a better starting point if you plan on developing the domain and making money off of...

Lots of quality content, lots of time, lots of work. Provide value to visitors. You can earn the right to get a bit spammy with Google.

Age is good. What it used to be is also important. You can find the registration age by using any whois site(I usually use who.is). I'd also recommend using the wayback machine to see how long the former site actually existed and what it was. That all being said, you may want to focus on other...

We've had some luck with ZeroPark in the past. You can narrow down your audience pretty well. Most of it is redirect traffic from expired domains.

I'm not certain about multiple users and I'm probably going to get torn apart for this recommendation, but... Go Daddy VPS are actually great. Their dedicated servers are awful. Their shared hosting is hit or miss (much better than it used to be), but their VPS are fast, cheap, and super...

All depends on what you are trying to host. Is this for a high traffic money site? Then fork out the cash for a decent VPS and don't focus too much on cheap. Is it for a basic SEO linking site? Then look for a safe SEO hosting solution that helps hide your linking strategy. You can find lots...

As far as metrics go... We get great results focusing on minimum TF/CF/DA of 20/20/20. The higher the TF the better. The less of a gap between CF and TF the better.

Is it better if you can find a great niche specific domain with relative backlink profile to link from? Of course. Is it worth all of the extra time scouring the market for domains this specific? No. We've done a lot of testing around this over at Managed Admin. We've found that with relative...

Thanks for the input everyone. I already contacted BHW about signing up as an Enterprise member. Looks like they will get a big donation out of us :) We are looking forward to supporting BHW and doing our best to help out around the forums.

Full Disclosure - I am from Managed Admin. I'd be happy to answer your questions. We handle the build out and linking process for a lot of our customers so I can let you know how it works with us. So what should my expectations be in terms of how long it would take for all the sites to start...

I'm going to have to go against the grain of the crowd here and say that 22k is actually a solid deal for that domain. The search volume, CPC, and general brandability support paying at least that if you're actually going to do something with it. Are new TLD's going to affect the price of...

Ha! Thanks for the sarcastic and warm welcome guys. Man, I actually toned down the pitch factor a lot from the original version. Good thing. Hard to do an introduction without saying a little bit about who you are. Turns out our products are a big part of who we are :)

Hello to everyone on BHW! Managed Admin has been catering to the Internet Marketing community for many years and we look forward to supporting the forums here on Black Hat World. Feel free to reach out to us with any questions. We know a bit about SEO domains, SEO hosting, and everything else...

Ranking a Twitter or Facebook page is just about the same strategy as any other webpage. It can actually be a bit easier and less risky as the root level metrics of these large social sites can handle a bit more casualness when it comes to the linking. Any reputable SEO firm should be able to...

Our favorite tool for analyzing backlinks is Majestic. We are synced to their API which allows us to automate a lot of what we do. I believe you can do some free lookups over at their site though.

Thanks for the heads up! Looks like we had better fork over the money for that Enterprise account. It's about time Managed Admin started getting more active on BHW anyway!

We have better luck focusing our attention on boosting positive sites. We've done some difficult reputation management projects in the past that required us owning the first 2 pages of results of Google. We did this by pushing SEO value to positive or neutral sites about our client. Boost their...

We've done a lot of studies around this. It's not enough just to redirect the domain as a whole unless all of the previous seo value and rankings were strictly to the homepage. You will want to redirect each page that was ranking well one at a time to a specific page. You can do this with a...
