BlackHat SEO News & Reviews

I saw these vids that were just added to YouTube. This dude talks about black hat SEO strategies. It’s basically a lot of bitching, throwing in stuff like “it’s not fair” and “it hurts people” which isn’t true. Black Hat SEO is abosultely fair, anybody can do it. Black Hat SEO doesn’t hurt anybody, I’ve never seen a black hat website that reaches through your computer screen and stabs you. This isn’t “great content” like they’ve called it.

I don’t think this presenter has actually DONE any of these tactics and has never EXPERIENCED any of the penalties he claims you’ll get. This is just propogating more myths, fears, and unbased claims about black hat SEO strategies. This is a way to try to pitch their site I guess, but it’s just another example of preying on newbies, at least in my opinion.

Even if these claims were legitimate, they just say what they are. They don’t show exactly what people can do that can supposedly get them penalized. Why is that? Probably because they don’t even know how to do what they’re saying NOT to do.

Joe Tierney’s tools are probably my favorites. I mean seriously, the guy updates his stuff and pays attention to support, and most importantly, the tools actually work. They get real results.

The only tool I missed out on was the TrackBack Generator. I was away when it launched and it sold out in a little over 2 hours. You can imagine I was upset when I came home only to see the program was no longer for sale. I made sure that didn’t happen again when the BlogFarm Generator was released, which Joe also just recently updated. That one is also sold out, but I fortunately got my copy. For some reason that one didn’t sell out nearly as fast even though it’s a stronger tool, at least in my opinion.

I posted a detailed review of Blogger Generator, the tool that is still available publicly, here:

Blogger has been deleting a lot of blogs lately, so the recent update of Blogger Generator includes new templates to reduce the footprints that users leave. Recently there was a bug in Google’s captchas as well, but as I’ve been testing this morning, it appears to have been resolved and is only asking for one correct captcha. The last few days it was asking for 3-4 and that was really frustrating.

But things are back to normal. There may be an update to the Article Grabber program since the source for that program has made some changes that have made it dysfunctional for the moment. At least now most blogger blogs don’t default to NOINDEX and NOFOLLOW. The default blogger template that comes with Blogger Generator is set to INDEX/FOLLOW which is what’s most important for how I use Blogger Generator: getting keyword links.

So here I am talking about Auto Social Poster again. That’s probably because it’s one of the best tools I’ve ever invested in. I really can’t say enough good about this plugin. I absolutely love it. Here’s the review I wrote about it before: Auto Social Poster Review

The skinny of it is, the tool automatically bookmarks wordpress posts to many of the major social bookmarking sites. That means hands off, free automated keyword backlinks and targeted traffic. That’s what every webmaster is desperately trying to get!

So what’s new in version 4.0?

There are several bookmarking sites that have been added to the tool, among them newsvine, dzone, excites, feedmelinks, and shoutwire. The most important addition is license protection. Now ASP will be much more secure from people who obtain pirate copies of the plugin. Without a license, it won’t verify. This alone will deter 90% of the pirates. Others will share licenses or find a way to crack the tool, but it just got more valuable to buyers (which I proudly am and which I implore you to become.)

Auto Social Poster is highly recommended!
