I always say leave up… The reason is has several points behind it.. 

1. More Relevancy

2. Great Authoritative Outbound Link

3. You don’t want to tell Google that they are there, and them not to be there later on.  Not a good trust sign with Google.

4. If you are overlaying a website on top, it does not hurt to be there.

Matt is really more of the voice of the spam team, so nothing much will really change…

There is only so much that they can do based on their patents, without revamping everything.  Which they are capable of doing, only if it makes financial sense.  The problem is that most of the stuff that we do, is not even a pimple on Google’s ba…[Read more]

SERPshaker creates the websites, and semeasy is really very different.

SEMeasy offers you SEO training as well as software to overlay and index out these sites.  They work great in tandem with each other and compliment each other very well.

If you put WPProfitBuilder on a different domain and then funnel the traffic through bitly that will give you the clicks/traffic count.

I would suggest getting one domain that you put all of your lead gen pages on with WPProfitBuilder on and this was you can control all of them from one location and also track the amount of…[Read more]

Let’s see here Tim.

for the local schema, go to schema.org and look up local business. We implement it in the footer so it goes on to all pages.  As much as you can, including hours, description,  location,  phone, category, etc.

For the data highlighter, verify with webmaster tools and look up data highlighter.  Same thing, as much info as…[Read more]

We optimize the homepage for the most profitable keywords.

Optimize the rest of the site with schema and a map embed.

There are a lot of things you can do with it. I’m planning on picking specific niches an cities and blanketing those terms and then renting the sites out to local businesses. 

Thanks Brian,  I should have double checked that.

Great article.  I agree with the article.  I believe that 1 in 3 businesses that have paid for SEO have been ripped off by a person who simply didn’t know what they were doing. 

To avoid this, I work in real testimonials and give references in to other local businesses so that they can call other clients directly.  

Also, speaking in as sim…[Read more]

Ok, thanks for the tips

Interesting approach Jerry.  I like the idea of offering the list of pg1 keywords as an optin.  Talk about a way to grab qualified leads!  

I would hope that he stays on.  There’s an advantage to fighting against the same person as they become predictable.   If someone else becomes head of the spam team,  it could mean a new direction that may prove additionally troublesome or unpredictable. Not that Matt Cutts hasn’t been troublesome for SEOs as is.

My mom said I should be a good fit as long as we don’t play with peanuts. I have allergies.

There’s plenty of nuts around here, but no peanuts.  Make sure to put your time availability on that list @frankschwarz
