Open Questions

Hi Eli, I know how you feel, the holidays are a crazy season! I love your site, it’s really eye-opening. I was pumped to find that you posted today.

Question: What do you think about possible legal issues involved with scraping, link-building through the use of your base sites, etc… any general thoughts you have, how to protect yourself, general best-practice techniques to stay out of trouble…

And also, do you have to separate your real, legit sites a lot from the base sites… like, do you use different mailing addresses and account information for all AdSense and server hosting accounts? Or am I just being paranoid… I am just worried that even if I start getting really successful, a few years down the road it might all bite me in the ass since I left some trails on the internet and all signs lead to me… do you think that laws could be passed pretty soon that would put us at risk? Thanks a lot!

He’s alive!! Can’t think of a question right now but looking forward to SEO Empire pt.2

Hi Eli,

Great site!

Question: Could you post a simple list of top link-building opportunities/techniques in order of effectiveness, in light of the changes at Google over the past year or so?

how big is the waiting list on squirt?If i contribute with something on vault can i get a free pass ?

How many weeks does it take Google to handle a reconsidaration request these days?

Is it still 99% sure that first time offenders will be reincluded if they fix the problems and say Sorry?

what color underwear are you wearing?

just kidding

i read in one of your posts about how you think porn webmasters and marketeers are leading the way in the way the internet is headed,

I just wondered what you think the future of the internet is? what direction do you think it will take? do you see anything in the way porn masters are doing things that you think will filter down into mainstream in the near future?

If we have 20 database sites(each one with 10k+ pages) on 5 ip s - how much does the share ip affect the foundation?

It is refreshing to see a new post here Eli. I’ve been watching your blog for a long time and asking myself when will you reappear. The wait paid off

My questions is (to you and everyone else here): did anyone notice that Google is slow at indexing websites these days or is it just me? A new site I launched: googlebot showed up and crawled around twice already, but the site still isn’t indexed. The website is even featured on some of my whitehat websites that have a high PR, and are crawled daily. I also managed to insert the new site into some directories that aren’t considered spammy. Still, to no avail. Nothing showing up in Google. Nor in MSN or Yahoo.

Is it Google being slower these days or something else? Does anybody know?

And, the website is pure whitehat stuff. WTF?

Extreme Webmaster,

Did you take a look at your code? Did you make some obvious (but easy to make mistake) such as using the font tag to define a white color to a certain section of the site (Some P tag or something)– while using CSS for the rest of the page (thus making it look like you are attempting to keyword stuff when the CSS is pulled) The fact that it isn’t in any of the big three screams that you’ve made some sort of mistake, at least in my book.

Do you ever use iframes to display affiliate offers? What’s your technique when it comes down to the money pages?

extreme webmaster,

I have released 2 new site and have not had any problems getting them indexed in Google

Eli,

I can’t wait for your SEO empire 2 post.

One question I have: Do you know if Google has a maximum number of pages of one particular site/domain they take into their index?

Thanks

DG

1. For each domain do you split your subdomains up in multiple C Class IPs or do they all stay on 1? Does it depend?

2. For each domain do you link from your subdomains to other subdomains or do you keep each one as its own stand alone “site”?

3. Do you set up in the 100’s of subdomains or in the 1,000’s of subdomains (or maybe more) per domain?

Appreciate the help man, you kick ass!

Hi Eli,

I’ve read through your blog and its amazing info. Thanks. I have a question. I’ve read through and I find the link building stuff (black hole SEO) a bit too complex, could you suggest any other effective link building techniques? I’ve heard great stuff about TNX.net.

Thanks!

Oh boy these are some great questions. I’m going to have fun. Keep em coming.

do you pick your nose with your left or right hand? Seriously, I want to start out as a cyber stalker and I think this is good info to have.

A couple questions regarding rolling out networks of very large sites…

• Which nameservers do you use? Do you make any attempt to differentiate or does google not care if you have an interlinked network with each site using the same nameserver?

• Once a madlib-type site is done and there are 10k+ pages available, do you make any attempt to roll out the site slowly? Is it seen as spammy if a huge site suddenly appears out of the blue?

Thanks

Do you outsource SEO work to indians and have them do manual labor?

Do you plan on releasing the dashboard you use to manage your backend

Do you outsource SEO work to indians and have them do manual labor?

and how about Jews for the banking and orientals for all the heavy math?

Can u tell me some JavaScript Technique for scrapping Links?? I am not comefortable with PHP, still sticking to the ASPx and JavaScript.

And Eli… Your Site is greate, nothing to compare with it…

ThanX Man

SEO,, if you are comfortable around ASPx, you might just want to scrape using .net, but really, PHP should be no problem.

What do you think about hiding content in a hidden DIV? Do the search engines ignore it, penalize you for it or treat it like it was part of the main content?

What about putting SEO friendly content in clear view, then covering it up with a DIV containing the real content you want people to see. Good idea?

I need a good SEO guy with programming skills, but it seems impossible to know if someone is as good as they say. What would you recommend someone trying to hire an SEO/programming guy do to seperate the wheat from the chaff?

I’m interested in the link building issue too. And therefor a question: Is link injection via xss a tactic, which works for the ranking on google?

What are your predictions for the effect of googles new treatement of subdomains in the SERP (i.e like folders, two per search), both in terms of short and long tail terms.

1. The using of audio and visual media on the sites are growing. Is there any savvy way to seoing the multimedia site.

2. The facebook is growing exponentially. It open its door to allow people using their advertisement. The unique of advertisement is demographic driven and there is facebook page, fan, and becaon. Is there any seo possibilities. This question also extend to social networking. Myspace? Linkedin? niche social networking?

3. What are ways we can stay ahead of game in search engine trends? The search engine continues to change. For example, I have Matt Cutts on my watch list.

4. Is there a way we can build backlinks faster that looks organic and natural? Doing it yourself by visiting forum and blogs is time consuming.

My question has to do with the management of your network:

Can you give us some hint as to how you publish hardlinks across your networks of sites (I’m guessing in the thousands) from one central dashboard?

I’m fairly decent at php/msql, but to publish hardlinks across multiple domains hosted on multiple servers is where my knowledge ends. Any push in the right direction would be highly appreciated.

Thanks for all the great posts.

Got any blackhat ppc?

Hi Eli,

Thanks for your amazing blog. I re-read it every day.

I recently bought my first database with 25000 hotel records and have built a site around it.

Would I be better off seperating the database into geographical regions and build a few different sites out of the database?

Would the value of the each pages linking power not be greater if they weren’t all on the same domain but spread over a few sites?

Do you ever sell any of your sites?

What’s the going rate for a black or gray-hat SEO property as a multiple of earnings?

I loved your SEO empire post. But I was wondering how much effect does a lot of links from a lot of indexed pages from the same domain have? I always thought that the search engines looked mainly at the number of different domain linking to you. Can you give some more info on this? Or do you use these pages to link to a lot of different domains?

Hi Eli,

is an old domain just worth if it has quite a lot backlinks or is an old domain also worth if it’s just in the index of search engines, but has almost no backlinks (0-20).

Regards

Till

Eli,

1. When linking from blackhat hosted/spammed sites to foundation sites, do you feel it would be fine to directly one-way link from the BH site to the foundation site if they are related?

2. If the BH site and foundation site are unrelated, would it then be best to use the concept of synergy linking (link the unrelated BH sites to a related blog/trusted platform and then to the foundation site)?

3. Do you feel directory submissions (done manually) are still worth the time or money?

Thanks, nogenius

how does one create an url rolling site when google no longer has a API for such a thing (instead having that javascript AJAX shite)?

Perhaps you could ping me???

Can you give us some rough numbers?: According to your advice, what is a acceptable, PR, ROI per activity (long-term basement/blackhat short term activity), monthly income, indexed pages per site, etc?

There is no lack of “seo experts” on sitepoint/digital who with tons of advice who think $20/mo is awesome. LOL

You sound like your number objectives are much higher, but it would be helpful to peg your advice to some standard. Shoemoney has his (one?) big check which, though ambiguous, pegs him pretty high in the seo/webmaster community. How about some indication of what level game you’re playing?

With your big, +5M page, basement site(s) do you bother with submitting sitemaps or rely on deeplinking from outside sites to direct google’s crawlers?

Eli,

where’s the Dildo?

Is there a BlueHatSEO forum? If so, where do I apply?

Lets say I can afford to spend $50 per day right now. What would you do with this to make even more money if you are quite new to this business… I was thinking about affiliate marketing and terms like ETC and CPC are known for me.

I cannot get the blue hat SEO forums to work it comes up with a “cannot be found” in wordpress, and i can’t find any signs in your previous posts that the forum was closed, whats up there?

Happy holidays as well

Can we see some about your new projects???

can i get some info about your future projects….do reply me back….happy hoilday…

Holidays are long over and i still don’t feel like working.

you way of talking tells me that you are quite a busy person:P

Very soon I’ll be throwing questions at you too!

How do you react to Google slaps in adwords?

What can i do to get strong linkpartners or blogs to make me in their blogroll???

Your willingness to help others is truely amazing.

Lots of ideas from the comments themselves too.

Brillant!

A year since this post and no sight of the article SEO Empire - II. What’s up, Eli? Too busy?

Fired the question to know the strategies ? or to make people busy in firing their ideas and questions ??

Go to each listing and find the reference to the offending Wikipage. You’ll find most of them in the See Also section or linked throughout the article. This is where the simplicity that I was talking about before comes into play. Listings such as “Flash Games” or “Election News” are easier because they’re so irrelevant. When people are searching Google for terms such as these they’re obviously wanting to find actual flash games or election news, not some faggy Wikipedia page saying what they are. The same concept applies to other Wikipages linking to them. Just because the author put the text Cat Food in the article or the See Also doesn’t mean its a relevant reference to the subject matter.

I was always wondering how much time you spend working.

Amazing post!

What do you think is the hardest part of SEO and SEM and how do you forsee the industry changing in the next 3 years?

Have you ever used PPC for SEO?

To elaborate, I’ve used PPC for keyword research in the past, and it could also potentially be used for link baiting, what do you think?

6You made some respectable factors there. I appeared on the web for the problem and found most individuals will associate with with your website.

55Thanks i like your blog very much , i come back most days to find new posts like this.

Hi wollte mal ein nette Gruß hinterlassen.

Does anyone know a honest linkbuilding company? I’ve been ripped off by one already. This is my favorite blog on SEO.

Hi there, wonderful points altogether, you just gained a new reader.

Do you outsource SEO work to indians and have them do manual labor?

I want to know when you start changing your existing pages.

Don’t create subdomains to save on domain costs. - It’s less than ten dollars a year for fuck sake. Don’t risk trashing a $20/day site and its authority that it took you a year or two to establish to save $10/year.

good one Sat masri

SEO is they still have an api you just have to borrow a key from someone who got one back when it was available.
