LOL!! Hilarious.

And if we ever have an SEMeasy get-together or Meet-Up or all end up at the same conference together, we can all wear similar t-shirts that say, “…and so did I!” on the back.

Andrew, Jake (and Frank… lol again) can wear Joe’s original version above and we can all just move around en masse.

Thanks Matt,

It’s like a big hammer just hit me in the side of the head. I hate it when something that is relatively simple stays just out of my grasp. Now I have the tools to continue my plan for world domination.

Mark,

I love the teaching here, especially the part about thinking outside the box and finding new markets. I’m trying to wrap my head around about how to build a site in the above game example (I mean one of those huge sites) when you only have so many keywords and you’re not including location.

At least it gives me something to w…[Read more]

But isn’t the power of the shaker sites their enormity? Isn’t that what helps them dominate rankings? Isn’t the locality angle a big part of it also?

Thanks Steve for helping expand my knowledge base. Someday I may even teach this.

Exactly my point Steve. Maybe I should’ve asked a more to the point question. How would you build a Shaker site (big 30,000 posts type site) and gear it towards a market like the one I mentioned, World of Warcraft?

Mark,

Excellent post. Lot’s of great ideas here. I would like to dive a little deeper into this.

It’s always been explained to me that building these kind of sites are more successful when you try to go to a local audience (ie. city, state). How would you do this for (I pulled this one out of your list). 4. (Video Game) Cheats   m…[Read more]

In reference to how many pages would it take to get indexed in order to hit $10 a day, it is not really a matter of indexed pages.  It would be a matter of how well the site is ranking, which obviously then correlate to the amount of visitors you would received, and it also would depend on the niche that you choose which would also effect the…[Read more]

With word spin it took about 8 minutes for 100 posts with gig mem.

I build SS sites on my old computer with 4Gb RAM (800Mhz) and 2,6GHz CPU (dual core AMD – 6-7 years OLD CRAP) and it builds fully spun article on all levels 72 posts per minute, so how is that kind of server you rented, which is suppose to be a good piece of hardware,…[Read more]

Is the size of RAM the only thing that you can upgrade? I really doubt that having a bigger RAM is going to speed up the build process, speeding it up require faster resources not bigger ones. You would need faster RAM and/or faster CPU and/or faster SSD not bigger one.

OK thanks jake, then after i scrape those URLs, should i use complete URLs or strip them onto the domain level?

Glad to have you in the community @doughuggins!  If you have any advice from your background you wish to share please do not hesitate to do so

Make sure you have a page at domain.com/directory!

Best,
Jake

You get what you pay for. Damn true.

The domain is still forwarding to the site in question, but at least I can access the Cpanel again. I might just switch the host and see if that fixes things. I guess my concern is that redirect. I don’t know how that ever happened.

I’m recognizing a couple of faces here (looking at you Mark!). That and I’m loving the level of interaction already!

I’m finally in a position where I’m prepared to take my business to the next level, and I know that it will be much easier to do that as a member of a community of like-minded people that share similar goals, and are willing to…[Read more]

3. We harvested 100 “authority” links like Gov, Association, Wiki, Authorities in the niche

Could you let me know how exactly you did that?

Is this a fact Google is passing link juice through bitly links now? or is this something they will eventually do?

I just checked a new website that i was advertising using a bitly link for the last 2 months … i don’t see anything showing up in majesticseo. The domain has zero authority and zero backlinks when it should have thousands if…[Read more]
