Hi Leith,
Thanks for helping all of us out. You've written up some fantastic material.
I've a small question relating to domains. It's recommended you have the main keyword in your domain name, but does it matter where? For example. The main keyword is "Bath Towels" but my domain is "Bath Duvet Towels . Com". How does google look at that?
Again, thanks!
Having the main keyword in the domain name would help, yes. It doesn't hurt. However, even if you don't have it, it's not such a huge issue. You can still rank for the site and your keywords pretty well.

Go to your preferred website, sign up and fill out your profile accurately.
Not a question, but definetly something you never knew!
I remember - really back then - I started just like any other IM dude, and failed miserabely.
I was this close to giving up, seeing how I did not only couldn't make money, but also losing a hell lot of money, which I gained through hard offline work.
Then - suddenly - it was one of Leith's replies or Threads (can't remember) which made me go for another try.
I succeeded. To this date I cannot thank you enough.
I'm 100% sure I did not make any 'good' cash with whatever you posted back then, BUT it kept me motivated, as it were the very first bucks I made online.
I gained experience over the time, and here I am now.. More successful than I ever thought I could be.
So yea, thank you Leith.
Good to hear that, keep going!
I have some questions regarding SEO :
1. I don't know how analyze whether my competition is hard or not- how can I estimate if it is easy or not to rank for my kw?
2. I am willing to rank by creating tier 1 backlinks with senukeXCR and by building tier 2-3 backlinks with GSA - is it good?
How many backlinks you think I will need for ranking an easy kw?
3. Should I do tier 1 manual? by buying articles and spin them with TBS or some spinner software and then create manually web 2.0 sites for tier 1?
4. Should I even do the spinning manual?
5. How many blog posts should I do per web 2.0 site?
Thanks in advance,
Chen
I did say 1 question per post but seeing as your questions are short Il answer them this time.
1. There are plenty of tools, paid and free you can use. Google's tool does the job well..
2. I would recommend creating tier 1 links by hand and tier 2 links with other tools. Same goes for tier 3.
3. Yep, do it manually and for tier 1 I like my articles hand written and unique. If you do have to spin it, at least make it readable and unique.
4. Spinning it by hand would be the best, yes.
5. I usually do around 3-4 but you can do more again depending on the competition of the keyword.
Hi Leith.
I saw you answer the above question earlier, thanks. Just wanted to expand a bit.
You say this web 2.0 with unique content works for very easy competition keywords, but what if was trying to rank an easy keyword with 2500 searches, roughly how many web 2.0 sites should i use? Or do i just use 1 Wordpress site with 3 unique articles and images/videos each week?
Thanks for this Q+A, brilliant mate.
It's just about trial and error. You're better of creating more than 1 web 2.0 property with articles on them instead of just one web 2.0 property.
Start with something like 5 web 2.0s with unique content on each (preferably 3-4 articles).
This is written when I open your blog:
"If you came here looking for my blog, unfortunately, it has been temporarily removed. I apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused. I am working on something bigger, better and stronger so stay tuned! In the meantime, contact us below if you need a professional SEO for your campaigns."
What is that something bigger?
You might have to wait and see..
If I buy an expired domain with age and some pr, will it rank much faster?
Of course, domain age does play a vital factor when it comes to SEO.
Whenever I start a new site, I make sure I can get an aged domain of Godaddy auctions and if I can't, I usually just create a fresh, new one.
First off, thank you for this excellent thread and for sharing your experience.
My question is regarding 301.
When you do a 301 from let's say Site A to Site B, does the link juice eventually transfer completely over to Site B (or is it always being redirected until the 301 is removed)?
If I had a Site A which I redirect over to Site B, and I decide to remove the 301 in the future, will the link juice flow back completely to Site A, or does it get stuck in site B. I've been doing a lot of reading about this and seem to be getting mixed opinions, so I wanted to hear your opinion/experience on this.
The reason I'm asking this is because I've had occasions where I redirected a site from A to B, built only backlinks to A, and then removed the redirect only to find that *both* sites continue to rank. Site B has no actual backlinks aside from the redirect coming into it (didn't get any natural links that I could see), yet it seems to still retain the link juice passed to it while the redirect was active.
Good question and I'm not sure if there is an exact answer but this is my answer anyway.
It works just like a bridge. Imagine a bridge. Now imagine 2 sites. Site A and B. Obviously your links are going to be pointed at Site A (which has been redirected to Site B). If you started building links to site A, it will flow through to site B via the bridge in between. Got me so far? As long as this redirect remains active, the link juice will simply keep flowing across the bridge into site B and you should rank well.
As soon as you remove this redirect, you're pretty much destroying and removing this bridge which is transferring over the juice. Generally speaking, your site B should drop and not rank anymore. Why? Because the links and link juice you pointed to site A are now no longer being moved over to site B because of the broken bridge (no more redirection).
So again, the link juice will be taken back to site A. The reason your site B may still be ranking is because these days Google are so slow in making these changes effective. This is what I believe anyway but again, it's not an 100% correct answer. It's just what I think and how it works.
Let me know how long has it been since your site B is still ranking. It may just be a matter of time before it's gone of the SERPs..

Just kidding. You're right, I'm getting old, eh?
1) what do you think about Press release ? i mean do people read them in reality ? i'm in third world country so i dont know if people read them or not ?
2) i tried amz b4 ( now i'm doing fb marketing for clients ) and i think that people really love to buy in amz so i can get sale easily, people buy in amz like they need to brush their teeth and wash their face. But what about Clickbank ? do people often buy via clickbank like they buy in amz ?
3 ) now i have about 400 tumblr blog pr from 1 to 4, i'm willing to get them into my big strategies for BlackFday this year, but i'm afraid that Zebra will banned them because they are in different niches, i mean in do domain, some Tumblr domain even doesn't have meaning, like uashydiuawhydaijsbhdauwbdahsdb.tumblr.com. I can auto mate them. I have about 200 blog with domain about meaningless thing, 50 are personal domain with people's name ( like joannapang1234 and something like this ) the rest are about hosting ( 3 pr 4 ), marvel ( 1 pr 3 ) and sciene ( about 50 pr 2 and 3 ) What should i post on those meaningless Tumblr to maximine my campain ?
4 ) people in my country are cheating fileice and cleanfiles by ssh sock ( read them on google if you dont know about it ) they created tons of tool to scan ssh sock ( free ssh port ), do you think that FI and CF can stop those ? because it already happend from last year and some guys get income $3k per day by cheating :| one of the guys i know just get congrat from FI for being the #1 earner today lol.
