n00b Black Hat Inquiry

Hello All,

I have been lurking around this forum for a good month and a half now, and I must admit I have learned a lot. The problem is that I feel that I have been completely overloaded with Black Hat SEO info. There are simply too many programs, ebooks, and methods available to pick from!

I am sure a lot of you have done what I have, and that is try everything briefly, and then get completely distracted about 30 minutes later! (by a new method just announced here or elsewhere) This has been my primary problem... as I am technically capable of implementing these methods, but lack the reasurance that I am doing it right!

I understand that patience is a virtue, but I would like to be sure that I am using quality programs to create the sites to begin with. So my question is: Which are the software titles recommended for the following categories:

Niche Keyword Research:

Automated Site Building (with customizable templates:

Black Hat Promotion:

Ok, so now that I have asked the most general question ever, let me make this a little more specific. With so many methods out there utlizing all kinds of software, I have yet to find a method that's reusable and even slightly profitable. Could one of the vet members give me a little tip in the form of a simple method to creating even a single solid PPC ready site? I am willing to pay you for the time, but all I require is a little kick start.

Better yet, if there is a nice ebook out there that you recommend I would be more than happy to buy it.

Thanks in advance for whatever advice you can throw my way.

You know what the problem is with all the free quality stuff here?

Most people will never use the programs at all or apply the systems they read to the full, because the next better thing is just a click away.

Most members will simply go from one free program to another...this just feeds an addiction we all have for free stuff.....

I can tell you this is like trading in the stockmarket....you have to find one system or program and contentrate on that first, then read about it, set it up work it, test it, then move on to another and do the same.

Ya, once you have 1 income stream set up, even if it's tiny, you can then start working on other areas, and your money should keep coming in.

If you only knew....

This is by virtue of our make-up. But I couldn't agree more. Some info is necessary to learn in many areas of this. It can be a bit overwhelming to some. I am one of those people that has to know about every process of everything! LOL

I will be the first to say it can thwart your own efforts to be successful in one area - because there is always something left to learn.

Learning it all is invaluable, but the best piece of advice (that I even need to follow myself) - is to get something working. You can perfect in time, but better to get it up and running and then enhance.

In short - if you could make $1 a day with one technique (with the possibility to only make more), wouldn't that be better then trying to learn some uncertain number of other techniques that will bring $$$ if you never knew when that day would come? You will probably exhaust yourself before you ever get there.

Baby Steps.

HaHa, I totally understand. Try processing all this info with A.D.D!
I just try each tool, and if it's not what I'm looking for, try another. As for the info, I just mix and match. Some methods are actually no long usefull by themself, but if you impliment them with another method, you come up with your own solution to something. Rather than try to resolve all those issues you listed, try only one at a time. No sense worrying about Black Hat Promotion, unless you've taken care of your niche keyword research.

Take a deep breath, and easssssssssssssssssy does it.

its best to know and settle down on a method that works... then get the necessary tools needed to work on your project.

For example, if you think you want to do affiliate marketing using PPC, then just get what you need and stop looking at all the other stuff that claims to be able to make you lots of money.

Because all the methods here can make money, its just how much effort you put into building up your business that determine how much income you could get.

Getting free tools and ebooks is indeed good and wonderful, but you can't eat them. You need to earn income and REAL MONEY to feed yourself and your family.
