I’m using Adsense Now with 3 ads on page.

Top left, Middle middle, bottom right

I’m using the large 336×280 Google will put a smaller or text ad in place if they feel is best.

Yes I’ve shut off Adsense showing ads to visitor based on their browsing, I want the ads to be based on the site I’ve built.

Here’s a great article explaining it:

http://www.shoutmeloud.com/what-is-robots-txt-file-and-how-to-optimize-for-wordpress-blogs.html

Disallow: /wp-content/plugins/semeasy/ would take care of it.

I’d suggest testing a live site and you can shut off/disable anytime so there’s no worry.

Yes I agree with Sam3 you may not need a PBN but what I do with each video is “draw a picture” with some notes and file it for each video.

As you go through other videos you’ll start to see your pictures/notes connect to each other.

One note when building a PBN you’re looking for aged domains that don’t have spammy…[Read more]

My first thought/goal with a Shaker site is to get in the to 10 to be on the first page of the SERP. Top 5 is best!

Building sites with 30k to 180k pages puts the odds in our favor this will happen many times over across the country BUT not in every city.

So will you be…[Read more]

So will Cloudflare

Have you run your website through Google Pagespeed BEFORE you added DA. 

Be sure to get a good Google Pagespeed before adding DA.

Some plugins to add/look at:

wp super cache

autoptimize

bwp-minify

I’ll backup what the others say and don’t go “cheap” on hosting if you are planning to build 30k sites.

Why do all the work and find your shared hosting can’t handle it.

Caution when you hear people saying they are using shared hosting, they probably aren’t getting a lot of traffic or income!

Andreas posted a video for the VIP group to do some advanced SILOing with SerpShaker.

He shows how to pre-create 50 pages, one per state.

Then setup categories per state

Finally use {city} in the title so you end up getting sites like:

yourdomain.com/state/city 

All interlinked…[Read more]

If yes, pick one of the KW phrases and yes use that as the Title,url, H2, H3, bolded in your content and linked out.

Also integrate the other keywords, use them in an H2 or H3 to start a paragraph. 

Basically on page SEO and others can chime in.

IF you are building a nationwide or state di…[Read more]

BUT you could create a landing page that takes to the affiliate page, one more click but still works.

FYI: my experience is you make more $$ with local clients but over time you can build hundreds of affiliate sites to balance them out.

Not sure if you can use CloudFlare in AU?

Downsize the home page images to load faster and not overtake the entire home page, let people see some text or nav bar when the home page loads.

When I did a site: there are a lot of number pages like…[Read more]

A more proper answer is Google indexes you page, content, keywords but really has no idea there’s an iframe overlaying another website to this page/site.

I’m looking for people who are familiar with and using EC2 to build SerpShaker sites.

I’d like to share my settings/experiences and variables to see if I can get more speed.

I will reply to the group once we get a “guide” figured out.

Kevin is correct but let’s big picture

1st SerpSpike or SerpShaker is a way to build state, nationwide or worldwide directory sites to get index and generate lots of traffic and hits.

2nd for this to work you must pick the right keywords and supporting LSI keywords. Sometimes you get it the first time, sometimes it takes building a…[Read more]

I use and recommend http://www.myseotool.com/

Track keywords, Analytics, Webmaster tools, Facebook, LinkedIn, Google+, YourTube and Adwords in one dashboard and auto send reports to clients!

This is much more than keyword tracking

I searched the forum post suggested above but couldn’t find the link.

I suspect the “easy” way to do this is with Excel, then create a row of check list buttons and save one for each project?

I’ve used it on long established sites that need a boost and a video added to the posts.

DA can overlay and/or allow you to rent pages from an existing site or say a local site you build with good SEO.

YES there’s a lot of talk using IA and DA on SerpShaker sites but that’s not required.

Why wait till your sites are going down and/or your host is shutting you off because of too much traffic and the bots are too much.

I understand people want to start with a small budget sometimes but a $50 a month VPS is a great place to start…

there are some cheaper out there but it…[Read more]

I’ve setup CloudFlare and deployed from the beginning but I’ll watch closer next time!

My idea is to have the checklist for each site and continue to add/delete and improve my steps.

I have spreadsheets I’ve printed and manually checked with a pen but I prefer an electronic checklist.

Cloudflare isn’t blocking your bots, it’s protecting your site from being overloaded with bots as they come in from multiple servers.

If there’s another reason I’m ready to learn!

IN summary I had an intern remove their email from my account and Google cancelled my account last summer!

Upon further investigation this particular site only had 15 views, 4 clicks with a CPC of $.77 but the Page RPM is $204.91 so my estimated earnings are $3.07

As I remember yes you want to find a 302 redirect and WP plugin Pretty Link light or pro you can get the 302 redirect.

Do you like them or not?

Vote with your answer below and I’ll post more updates after the poll closes Dec 1, 2014

There’s a new “free” plugin from Spin-Rewriter to re-spin your existing pages/posts which is nice but I wanted NEW content to make my sites look “active.”

There’s an upgrade of $197 to do this with the plugin.

I’ve heard of and use RSS to blog feeds but it’s not spinning content.

First we had SerpShaker (baby) and remember all the troubles of building locally and uploading.

Next came ATM (teenager) “You can build it on our servers and we’ll host it” but now you have to host on your own.

The “adult version” is SerpSpike. You give them your keywords and they build the site…[Read more]

If you are using Cloudflare you can also see if the bots are visiting??

After you create your website/cpanel on Host9 go to software and install WordPress and install the AIO Migration plugin. Then import the site you exported from your desktop and save your permalinks twice!!!

Deploy SS site
Index Assault to get rankings started and wait a week or so to get through the bots and see traffic increase.
Next I either: Setup Adsense on the website OR Double Agent to a URL

Others?

Yes change the name in each site

I created a page called “Directory” and placed the shortcode [semdirectory] and saved it.

Nothing else…

Did you do the same?

So yes there’s a video

Just to add to the citation search for competitors I use SEO Localizer software its on clickbank and you will find it by doing a G search.

I built a SerpShaker site and now it’s getting traffic I’ve over layed the entire site so the traffic is redirected.

Should this be done through one shortner?

Will the other site see thousands of backlinks and create an alarm with Google?

I also use Host9 and SS and I haven’t noticed any problems.

I saw someone mention it last week and I was worried I was missing some problem

If you disable the ad on the website, just wait a few days and the ad will go inactive in your Adsense dashboard.

Yes I have one domain with “product” based landing pages/sub pages. 

The other page is more “lead gen” opportunity pages.

I was going to Google Analytics so I can review each page and stats… I was hoping to find a plugin that would show hits and conversions per page like Leadpages and others.
