The part I don’t know about – payout. I’ve just started playing with adsense for the fun passive income. If you were to use a relative, how do you structure the payout? It is connected with a bank account, right?

I’m using statpress and do have cloudflare handing DNS. I have mod_cloudflare installed on my VPS so that it returns the proper IPs instead of CF IPs.

Maybe, with a TON of proxies. But, I don’t for SLL sites I just track how many are indexed and how much traffic it’s getting. 

I use it for client sites and have used it with a few super local regional SS sites. 

In total I’m tracking like 900 keywords at the moment. 

But, for shits and giggles I just threw in 29,386 keywo…[Read more]

Fair enough, you’re right, it isn’t cloaking and upon closer inspection wp-cloaker does cloak.

I tend to think of this as the next iteration of cloaking. I’d much rather be doing this than traditional cloaking.

DA overlays the site, kind of like when you use a site with lightbox. Real cloaking actually displays different things to search…[Read more]

Oh I have plenty of those moments, Joe! They usually happen while coding. That’s why I work from the coffee shop – plenty of good caffeine at my disposal. :p

Nope, not a single backlink, and not a single page indexed after a week. 

I’m thinking to lack of caffeine moment may have more to do with something blocking bots. I just can’t…[Read more]

I use Inspyder Rank Reporter ($75) + proxies. I like desktop solutions so that way I can throw in tons of long tail and not hit keyword limit issues. 

BrianW – cloaking is overlaying. However, overlaying is not the same as overlaying is the not the same as overlaying, though. 

There are right and wrong ways to do it. Evidenced by the fact that their own plugin has changed over the years to accommodate changes in what google looks at. 

Not saying wp-cloaker does it wrong – just saying t…[Read more]

If you’re new to adsense then creating multiple accounts is the last thing you need to worry about

As far as I know you should be able to get quite a few sites under one account.

Andrew has mentioned using multiple LLC’s (and presumably DBA’s) to create multiple adsense accounts.

Cloaking is something google keeps an eye out for. Personally, I’d rather rest assured that the people behind the technology are using it themselves so that it constantly evolves.

Becker also recommended Rent A Serp – which was a complete rip off of SemEasy’s work (to the point that a licensing settlement was reached).

Bob, Steve and I might actually be talking about two different things.

I’m referring to Localizer Leads Tool which is a desktop software that scrapes yellowpages, the web, G places, and others (depending on which setting you’re using) to build lists of businesses in local areas. One of the features is the ability to put in business details and…[Read more]

Totally forgot that Localizer could do that @steve , thanks!

It’s interesting, the benefit I see from it would be the pulling of images and showing you the keyword search stats. However, I would think that you’re going to already have the research done – and the estimate searches are pretty much useless for local SEO. 

The quick pull of images and content is neat – but you’d have to really use it for i…[Read more]

I have a pro license, but that should not at all make a difference.You should definitely see a drop down for shortcodes in the visual editor. 

Fair enough, Andrew. Just being a page load time nazi – stripping anything I can. 

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.

5. G…[Read more]

Are you putting that code in a dynamic shortcode or something? It should just be in the body of the SERP shaker article.

I can’t vouch for the code itself as I don’t use it, I use the shortcode.

THe shortcodes for maps is in the drop down that has the shortcodes for ads too, when using the visual editor. 

Speaking of WP management systems, InfiniteWP does NOT leave a footprint. Not as far as I can tell. Nothing is on the front end.

Visit your pages and check how the title appears in the title to verify that it isn’t shmooshing the site name with it. 

I believe Andres said it won’t happen if you set the title area, though. I don’t set mine because I want the meta title to be the same as the article title.
