SEO people using gmail still... really?

It indeed is a horrible idea, but some SEOs are either stubborn or too lazy to take action.

You should be afraid when you bank in 6 figures per month and you are a big time blackhat player. No one cares about your Adsense, 5 micro niche sites and Scrapebox. No one.

Really? All you have to do is survive one month and you have a middle class wage for the whole year. Can't really complain... Plus experts can just make a new one in a couple of weeks. People with 5 micro niche sites might actually need those sites to survive, that might be their income or an important part of it that goes towards supporting their family, just enough to get by, you know? That income matters more to them than to the guy with a Ferrari, helicopter and 10 bedroom mansion.

I don't know data from gmail could affect your things or not but i do believe it could.
I had 1 website built and ranked with gsa (got manual penalty) ranked 2nd same exact site on other domain (got manually penalty)

got 3rd one ranked with gsa still standing strong even after penguin.

The only difference betwean first 2 and 3rd one was that i was not letting it near any google product (webmaster tools, analytics, chrome)

It could be coincidence but i am not ready to risk again, better safe than sorry

SEO pros using gmail is like the bank robber who gave the teller a note written on his own personalized stationery.

Yandex's email service is probably the best since they aren't based in a country that will bow to U.S. pressure.

its better to just keep away from using gmail though. just to be safe..
later, they might just spy emails to find out who is cheatingtheir system. Although every body does actually

Hi everyone, I'm using USA PVA Gmails for my PBNS domain registration. I live in the UK and VPN to USA. Does anyone think this is a bad idea? Also I've been considering having the same secondary email for a number of the gmails - to make it easier to recover my account if I get locked out, but I'm worried that this will be a huge footprint. One SEO I know says thinks i'll be completely fine but I'm having doubts - anyone else have any thoughts? Thanks, Josh
