Start promoting it to get traffic. Leverage stumbleupon, reddit, facebook/twitter, and possibly organic. Adsense pubs who make good money have sites that get a veritable shit ton of traffic every day, or have sites with ads with incredibly

It's not scamming, it's marketing. The customers aren't committing to anything more than a simple mouse click. Scamming would be telling them they get one thing and then giving them another on checkout or form submit. This is no different t

I simply can't fathom how this company has so much venture money already, and is raising even more, and is over 3 years old, but still goes over capacity practically hourly. How hard is it to staff a team of engineers to get that damn site

good implementation, but why 3 websites for the pro with 1000 keywords? Don't even limit to websites at all, just use keywords. It's regex parsing anyways, it's not hard to check any number of domains. The failing point of almost all rank t

Ok, I am a solid PHP developer, pretty advanced with Ruby, and can do front end code and JQuery with my eyes closed. Should I be interested in Perl? Is there any reason to learn it if I know these other languages? I am genuinely curious

There's no such thing as a high or low bounce rate, the only thing that matters is how many conversions you're getting. someone getting a 90% bounce rate but converting at 5% is doing better than someone with a 40% bounce rate with 2% conve

there's really not that much guessing necessary. Google knows the click through rate of all SERPs, so after a year, if they see that 95% of your pages are never visited, they have no reason to hang on to them. Because those pages weren't br

The Art of SEO is a great resource if you're just getting started and are interested in White-Hat stuff. If you're more interested in aggressive marketing and link building, stay away from the majority of forums (because they're full of gur

why is it the "seo-douchebag"'s fault that Google decides to rank crap on the front page? Shouldn't that be Google's fault? If you want to leverage the high volume of traffic Google can provide, you must at least try and pay attention to SE

I have to admit, I hate seeing SEO posts submitted here. Not because I don't like them, but because of the ignorance so many of you show towards any use or mention of SEO. SEO isn't bad, Google themself has an SEO guide they released for we

They really are on different levels. You can push an affiliate offer through a review site, through an email list, through ppc ads, ppv traffic. Adsense is pretty ordinary, and works in situations when users want more than a site or page ca

there are guys pushing a few hundred thousand dollars worth of offers a day. It's a huge huge industry, but you can't just toss up some banners and expect to profit.

But when you own a website that does "deserve" to rank and Google's algorithm allows for spammers to get to the top, then you have no recourse but to fight fire with fire. If I had a great site about my acai berry product, but stuck only to
