I know you. Your a procrastinator. You buy everthing that comes out thinking it’s going to make you money… and it then just sits on your hard drive. It’s time to build up your foundation so you CAN be succesfull with anything down the road. Hey good news – your going to make money while [...]

That’s right – you need to find a partner.  Find someone who has strengths you don’t. For example.  Eric Gehler and I have worked together for many years now.  He lives about 5 hours away from me and we get together about once or twice a year.  How do we break things down? I do [...]

So your broke and you don’t have a pot to piss in right? Time to make some money – so you can make some money! (can’t ‘really’ make it if you don’t have anything). Your going to have to bust your ass here, accept it and move it. You don’t have the money for hosting. [...]

While this blog is called the “black hat digest” it’s really not all about being a “black hat” webmaster.  You see the term black hat seo refers to using everything you can to automate everything you can. Makes sense in a way doesn’t it?  Think of it like a modern day factory churning out websites [...]

The Black Hat Digest here is for ‘newbies’ of all stripes and skill levels – and to be honest most of the stuff we are covering isn’t “black hat” in the form that is shady.  Instead it’s just gaming the search engines more than the “white hats”. In the “network building” category here on Black [...]

Forums. Personally I think building a solid community with a forum is a lot of work. It’s hard hard hard work to be honest with you. The main reason is that YOU are going to have to post the living heck out of your own forum to get it started. Paid posting services and RSS [...]

When your new it’s hard to even know what the heck to ask – because you don’t know better.  Many people get started by buying crappy e-books, or get rich quick schemes.  Let’s try and save you a lot of money and a lot of aggravation. Let’s start off by saying that it isn’t easy [...]

If your a newbie this section is for you.  Don’t feel bad – we were all newbies at one point or another. #af-form-1394620488 .af-body .af-textWrap{width:98%;display:block;float:none;} #af-form-1394620488 .af-body .privacyPolicy{color:#000000;font-size:12px;font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;} #af-form-1394620488 .af-body a{color:#AA0101;text-decoration:underline;font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;} #af-form-1394620488 .af-body input.text, #af-form-1394620488 .af-body textarea{background-color:#FFFFFF;border-color:#000000;border-width:1px;border-style:solid;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;font-size:12px;font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;} #af-form-1394620488 .af-body input.text:focus, #af-form-1394620488 .af-body textarea:focus{background-color:#FFFFFF;border-color:#AA0101;border-width:1px;border-style:solid;} #af-form-1394620488 .af-body label.previewLabel{display:block;float:none;text-align:left;width:auto;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;font-size:12px;font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;} #af-form-1394620488 .af-body{padding-bottom:15px;background-repeat:no-repeat;background-position:inherit;background-image:none;color:#000000;font-size:12px;font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;} #af-form-1394620488 .af-footer{padding-right:15px;padding-left:15px;background-color:#transparent;border-width:1px;border-bottom-style:none;border-left-style:none;border-right-style:none;border-top-style:none;color:#000000;font-size:12px;font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;} [...]
