Everyone,

All I’m asking for is numbers. I like what we are sharing here but several say I like high Domain Authority or a high trust flow with a good citation flow.

I once read somewhere where someone said they like their Moz ranking to be higher than the reported PR ranking.

Personally, when I look at sites on PR Powershot I…[Read more]

Thanks Get,

Using archive.org has showed me enough to stay away from a couple of sites.

What would you say your number one metric or sign is that gets you interested in a site?

Thanks for the recommends all. I’ve actually started the act of building my PBN and just waiting for my first two sites to become available.

Thanks Nick,

I kind of have an approach I use. I’m still fine tuning it. I do a search on PRPowershot. I then filter them from highest trust flow to lowest. I just use this number as it seems most sights I’m interest in seem to have higher trust flow numbers. I then check any site I like the look of based on number of back links. I then…[Read more]

Thanks Dennis, I paid more than I wanted but I wanted to get my first site under my belt. I’ll be a bit more stingy with my next purchase.

Thanks Jason. Probably do that int eh future. What I do now is pick a price I’m comfortable with, place that as my top and then see what happens.

Just won my first domain. I now have a PBN of 1. Wooo Hooo, now let’s see if it’s legit.

They were mostly PR0, PR1 and PR2’s. I bid less than $30 on each of them. Just kind of experimenting and I wasn’t home for the end of the auctions or I may have put in another bid. They all sold for exactly one bid past my high bid.

I guess I’m doing something right. I’ve been outbid on every site I showed interest in.

Onward.

Thanks Eliza. I think I’ve learned enough to tell if the back links look natural so I feel pretty confident there. As for the first part, back links vs IP addresses, do you have a ratio you like, 10 to 1, 100 to 1. One of my problems is I’m a bit of a number lover. I love having a metric to measure things to. It got me through 30 years as an Air…[Read more]

One of the things I’m trying to figure out is where the PR0 and PR1’s are that are really PR3 or 4’s. I’m just trying to figure out what other metrics to look at that would be an indicator. Someone in a post said they like the MozRank to be higher than the PR number. Above Jason says he likes the PA and DA (those ar both Moz rankings,…[Read more]

See the reason I’m unsure about this is I know I have no idea what I’m doing when buying expiring domains. All these numbers and I think I know what they mean but when I start looking at them my level of confidence dwindles.

So I’m looking at a .org site with numbers like these PR 0 (can’t rely on this number, I remember that), trust flow 23,…[Read more]

I like the  idea of booths at local conferences or shows. Since I focus mainly on local SEO (county wide) I could see setting up booth at say the local home and garden show. You can have already ranked several sites for various home and garden niches (concrete, kitchen makeovers, patios. etc.) and try to sell them right there. They walk out of…[Read more]

I would love to see more training materials. I never saw this site as SEO101. I always saw it more as a graduate course and for people who have cut their teeth elsewhere.  Granted I wish there were all inclusive training here that started from day one and walked you through their whole program here. However, the things I’ve leanred here aren’t…[Read more]

Thanks for the links Sam. Jason, I think I missed something, what’s RCW?

Thanks everyone
