I’ll only think of spending money for PPC or buying text link, if I have very profitable product and services to sell on my site

That blackhat site is fascinating. I don’t know how many of these blackhat systems can be used for the average website but the tricks that these guys are pulling are really interesting.

I dont think any of these can be used by the average website. This stuff tends to be viable on a short term basis only, they get banned by search engines and start over somewhere else…

It is really interesting though, some clever stuff discussed, without giving too much away unfortunately

Spam (you call it black SEO) may be fast and successful. But there are also TWO big disadvantages: spam has a short lifetime, and you have to know how to spam if you want to get power from it

Blackhat, Bluehat… as long as it help me to bring the numbers it’s good enough for me!

PPC is definitely a must too, just keep the bargin small and manageable.

People say that people buying links means less people spend less money with Google. I’m not so sure. More spam = more competition, so less SEO companies will take clients on for those keywords and/or fewer companies will take an SEO company on for the price they ask. All these people end up on AdWords paying £5.50 a click for ‘car insurance quote’.

There are still only 11 PPC and 10 natural (default) listings on the first page of Google…. the price is only going up!!

Despite what I read to the contrary about only “unique original content” being indexed etc… SPAM WORKS.

I look at top sites in competitive niches, drill into their backlinks, by the second tier it is all spam….

Spam is to Google what a plate of freshly cooked sausages is to a greedy dog….
