Not even if you go to Joash directly?

Not really competitive at all the niches I’m targeting, just can’t seem to get any decent rankings on new domains until after a 30 day period from indexing. 

I’m playing about with different methods now to see if I can avoid it

I hope for the same results on a few sites I have put together. All the pages are indexed but not a single ranking as yet. One went live on August 4th the other August 10th so I am keeping my fingers crossed something happens soon.

Install WAMP and then build out your sites quickly. Once they are all working the way you like, upload the wp folder to your shared hosting. Upload the DB change the WP config to match the domain name etc and index the site.

I will let deltanine reveal the software but its pretty good and certainly gets my vote

Once automated can provide some nice rankings for minimum effort, personally I prefer to just build a couple of high powered PBN links and job done.

Now if its a PBN site then its probably best to keep things going like this. If however its a money site then using ‘Fetch as Google’ on Google Webmaster Tools gets the page indexed in seconds.

Yeah posted this not long back myself (see here: http://semeasy.com/forum/seo-1/the-30-day-google-sandbox/) , I too noticed this was a problem. I did do a bit of testing but yet to come to a conclusion. According to a few experts building links slowly from your PBN seems to be the key here. Aged domains is also another option.

Good question! H1 title tags really depend on your theme and how you set it up. I would say the majority of the themes I have seen have the H1 set as the page/post title.

The higher the DA or PA of a domain the chances are the better the domain, however this isn’t always the case as DA and PA are easily manipulated.

MozRank however is slightly better as the general idea is the MozRank should be the same or higher than its PR for it to keep its PR…[Read more]

Google must have something in place to bring relevant pages to the top quickly. If there is breaking news it must be able to identify this and rank accordingly.

I think a bit of testing is required to avoid this maybe something along the lines of using 301 from aged domains that have aged…[Read more]

Don’t do this, don’t do that, do this, do that. 

A PBN is great for ranking a long term site, if your aim is to build an authority site or you have a client site that has a real business then it pays to build up a high quality network.

It was good to hear Google has taken the images away even though I am sure the reason it was done was to increase ad revenue.

I am also expecting Penguin to rear its head again soon so I expect things to be interesting over the next few months.

After the last Penguin/Panda refresh I have found the following from your list to be slightly different:

So when it comes to buying domains where do you go? What do you look for to convince you a PR site is what is says it is? As we all know PR isnt updated as often as it used to be (well to the public anyway) so ensuring you buy (and keep) a solid domain that will pass on the valuable link juice is imperative.

Thanks

Mark
