BlackHat SEO News & Reviews

This video shows some great examples of what NOT to do with black hat SEO nowadays. This company creates doorway pages from the same template (footprint!) and they engage in hidden text, the stupid way, by just making the text the same color as the background. Watch as this video creator exposes the amateurish “black hat” SEO company:

Apparently, it really takes some class and style to “break the rules” of SEO nowadays. Stick with what I recommend on this blog, and what you see the guys doing on the blogs I link to. DON’T be the next loser to get PWNED like these guys did.

Demonoid is one of those super controversial websites that the DMCA is always trying to shut down. Demonoid went down several months back but it’s really pointless to try and shut down these types of sites because new ones will always just spring up in its place. Demonoid is right up there with sites like The Pirate Bay that specialize in file-sharing.

NOT ALL FILE-SHARING IS ILLEGAL

Although people share things they really don’t have the right to do. We all remember the court case of Metallica against Napster that set a precedent against file-sharing…supposedly. It hasn’t done anything because with huge networks like Emule, WinMX, Limewire, etc, it’s like the war on terrorism. Yeah they engage in bad behavior and you can stop the program but not the principles.

Here’s a video interview about some of the developments in file-sharing on the internet:

Here’s a diagram that illustrates my opinion:

It’s not congruent with definitions to call file-sharing stealing, so I disagree with some of the courts. Canada permits downloads and as the man interviewed in the video above said, the market is ready to quit buying media and just download it. Itunes is a great example, and their files are pretty secure from sharing and copying. There’s always a way for the determined ones but most people respect the security measures built into the files.

Demonoid is a good place to hangout for this kind of thing because entrance is by invitation only, like a club or a secret society…ooo..ahh.. The owners also crack down on anything that pisses people off and they ban whoever invites the dweebs that screw around in there too so it’s definitely a trust-based membership.

What’s a torrent file? Check Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BitTorrent

Out of all the file-sharing networks I’ve seen, Demonoid gets my best rating: 10/10

Here’s Michael Moore sharing his thoughts on file-sharing: (he thinks it’s cool!)

There are lots of ways to make money from your black hat sites. You can use search rankings to overcome competitors and sell your own stuff. You can monetize your site with paid ads using Pay-per-click or CPA ads. You can scrape feeds from major sites that have affiliate programs such as Amazon or eBay. Some even dare to enter in the dangerous realm of affiliate cookie stuffing…

To make any kind of decent black hat money, you usually need to have some advanced webmaster skills like the ability to write scripts, or just code in general. Most webmasters aren’t that advanced when they’re just starting to look at black hat marketing, so what’s a good introduction into the field?

Here’s one method you can use:

1. Get an Adsense account. You can do this by setting up a blogger blog and post to it once a day for a week with good unique content. Once you’re approved, blog occasionally there to look legitimate.

2. Buy an established wordpress blog. There are lots for sale at the sitepoint marketplace.

3. Automate it using plugins such as WP-O-Matic to post from RSS Feeds

4. Add Adsense to the template bit by bit

This is the easiest way I know of to get a self-growing website that makes some money.
