I just love hearing the updates!

Peter,

Tag pages right now often rank better than the main page.  It just happens.  The best practice is to grab a bunch of related keywords and put them in as tags, and then let google do with them as they will…

Don’t add your main keyword to them, Google will then start to rank your main keyword shortly aft…[Read more]

Hi Billy

I based in NZ too, over the years I just keep adding to the list the different business directories and review sites, and industry specific ones. Basically those that show up for companies one the first several pages.

I have a staff member manually go through and add a company to those sites where they aren’t yet listed. And where…[Read more]

I had a friend mention they had a site that was stuck for over a month no matter what they did.

What they did do though was to continue building links as they had before.

Then jsut the other day, all of a sudden it’s like they all took affect and his site jumped to #5 on page 1 for hi smain highly competitive 20K a month keyword.

So, my…[Read more]

If you’re looking for something to manage your PBN’s then get Main WP, it’s free to use from the WP Plugins.

The if you want to extend it they sell the extension for typically around $20.

I’ve been using it since it was called Sick Network, when it was way too buggy. Now however I run multiple installs of it for the different groups of sites…[Read more]

Slightly off topic:

In a test I did over a month or 2 ago, I 301 redirected several domains to individual bit.ly urls, which then linked to a site.

I was not expecting to see the original domains show up in Majestic, however it and the bit.ly urls both showed in the backlinks to the site being linked to by the bit.ly urls.

Have an a…[Read more]

I manually sign up for an account for each site.

For the email address I use plus addressing, eg steve+mydomain-com@gmail.com

That way I can have one email address and use it for all sites and they are named in a consistent way that I know what the log in will be for any PBN site.

Of all the DNS info that CloudFlare suggests, I delete all…[Read more]

@Kenny re: tools to use

Here’s what I do to build out my PBN sites:

1. I have a template site built with the WordPress core and plugins configured to how I like them, and only have the default (most recent) WordPress theme

2. I have a library of 30+ free themes I’ve stored up over the past year or 2 or building PBN sites that I use and…[Read more]

Since I am new here who are the people in the video? Are they part of SEMeasy?

What are we supposed to do??

I would recommend removing the helper plugin from all sites, that’s the first step at least

Yes this is correct.  I leave the FTP on grey while I am working on the site, for easy uploads, but then after I am done it goes right back to orange.  When the cloud is orange that means that cloudflare is “protecting” the site.  If you leave your ftp greyed out then the bruteforce attack would be hitting your ftp account rather than hitting th…[Read more]

Thanks Darron!

The only cool bit of this is the link tracking.  I like that.  I like it so much, we may code it.  However, I don’t think my employees will let me jump down that rabbit hole with 4 scheduled in person speaking engagements this month.

i know that feeling

Mark,

You’re sharing some great stuff here.

So I can build a site on a team (let’s say the Packers), come up with a list of everything they would sell to a fan (foam fingers, cheese heads, sweat bands, etc), maybe put some identifiers on them (blue, large, waterproof, whatever) and make a huge site.

After that would you just have…[Read more]
