ToBeSomething said:

@crossbg, you did mention 2-3 times to use expired domains to 301 to main domain for SEO benefits and now I paid attention to your profile picture, showing dnmark dot com.

I checked your site and expired domains is exactly what you sell! And here I thought you were doing this to help out others. Pity.

This is only a tactic I have shared. And it is OK for 301 redirecting but NOT for a PBN.

As I see my efforts are not rated properly here... ok, remove the thread then

What's wrong with you? You don't even know what you're talking about. You're selling expired domains on your website, and then say you have never sold, bought or talking about expired domains!

And then upon being further probed, you say it's a tactic you've shared and it's OK for 301 redirect and not PBN?

You've opened a thread where you establish yourself as a SEO expert, and your answers are worse than noobs.

Are you the same person? Do you know what you're talking about? Do you keep a stock of what you're writing in this thread from the first day to this hour?

First of all thanks for this Q and A ,great job.

I already red that you are not a fan of web 2.0s for tier 1. I have already put a lot of work of setting up web 2.0s , going for quality web 2.0 s, but havent started to put in links to my site.
My question is, how long do you think i need to wait before putting links in these web 2.0 quality posts?

i wanna ask which one better for tier 1 ? is that backlink profile or web 2.0 thanks

When do you know when to walk away from a project? Do you repurpose the site as a PBN? Do you 301 redirect the site to a new domain?

Already read the article. Thank you. It's seems tags are recommended but no compulsory.
But they don't talk about index or no index tags pages. I read some information that search engine don't like to much tags pages because they are 'duplicate content', and this is why a lot of people put no-index on tags page.

What do you recommend to do?

Not trying to interrupt but it reads like you're getting confused between WordPress blog tags for categorizations and HTML tags for for Follow/ No follow ?

You can start now... but the page needs to have authority. Btw, did you try some kind of link pushing? And thanks for your grade

I suggest you to read more about offpage SEO at all - backlinks profile are all links pointed to your site. Web 2.0 are a part of the backlink profile and are used for diversification at all. So let's say:
- PBN links
- Links from niche related sites
- Quality Web 2.0
- Relevant blog comments for some diversity, forum posts, etc.
--------
and this all is your backlink profile.

Hmm, that is a nice and really interesting question. Many thanks about that.
I actually have walked away from many, many projects at the beginning - I was not sure in my goals, ideas and actually nothing. But now I set up a project with a strict business plan and without so much hesitation. Maybe when the things go off the business plan, we run out of the budget and THE IDEA HAD GONE it's time to make one of the following. I work with ideas - if I belief in it, I'll continue to try (of course if my wallet can resist).

If the domain have good metrics and it is aged - PBN is a good exit. But if it have been PBN before - don't even think about it. 301 redirect - yes, that is also possible as it is not forbidden by Google. Hope that answers your question a bit?

Thanks for trying to clarify. When reading again I also get confused with his question. Maybe try to ask again?

No no! thank you very much for answering

I have never used Wordpress tags, but it seems that they are recommended to improve the user experience.

However, I wanted to confirm that you have to keep the tag pages as non-index: moz dot com/community/q/wordpress-tag-pages-noindex

I don't know if I'm explaining it clearly.

Use some kind of ping service then or directly call the google bot - you can request it via Webmaster tools. Could you please share with us the exact situation? Is this a whole website or just a single link in there because both of these seem unrealistic.

SEO is simple. Just copied what the top 5 sites are doing. Like their contents structures. If on average their top post is 2000 words, double them with more points and better references. Blasting of web 2.0 and pbns hard to work now. If anyone say to u can, probably they are selling services. Back link with related bloggers. The amount of money you spent on buying links and create pbns might as well spend on quality contents. Sure many will hate my posts hahaha

Which tools do you use to monitor whether your links have indexed and which position they're on?

Depends on your niche - funny memes and fake news won't deserve SEO

Currently I have h1 and h2 from wordpress theme. And h1 from title and other h2 and h3s from rhe article.
Should I keep it this way or edit it? If yes, which h1 should I get rid of
