Black Hat SEO Digest

Sometimes hiding in plain sight (site) makes sense!

Sometimes it’s tough making a black hat site appear white hat – but let’s face it, it can make all the difference in the world.  If your running an auto blog and you need to juice it up a bit every now and then to increase your chances of passing a manual review it’s hard to beat zemanta   (zemanta.com).  The free plugin for firefox let’s you insert pictures, grab related posts, recommends tags, etc…

Even if you aren’t a black hatter or running auto blogs it’s a dang fast way to ‘pretty up’ your pages and posts fast.

Black Hat – Traffic Android?

Lot’s of cool stuff has popped up recently, I’m testing SENUKE (and I think I like it).  However, I wouldn’t feel comfortable using it for my white hat sites.  SENUKE I thinks will be considered my black hat bookmark tool (if I keep using it – time time time ya know)

So Eric has been playing with Traffic Android… and I think you should read what he has to say:

Eric’s Review of Traffic Android

Eric says they are updating, they have a good programming team, and it’s here to stay – good things to look for with any tool that deals with a lot of third party sites (if you want it to keep working).

It’s easy to use – and it staggers your bookmarks so you aren’t shoving out 30000 links all at once.  The 13 day free trial is reason enough to go check it out.

30 Days to a kick ass foundation – Day 15 – Parasite Hosting

At this point I’m sure you have heard me mention parasite hosting.  In fact day 6 is all about parasite hosting – but in day 6 the focus is really on building links to your sites.

For this part of things we are going to use those same place to just “test” out offers.  Think you can rank well for a particular brand of toaster but don’t have the energy to go all out?  Well that’s where something like squidoo can come into play.

Make a page or a LENS about the toaster and do a few minutes of promotion.  Here is a ticket to squidoo success for example.

- Make a lens with 5 to 10 moduals.  Make sure there are links going to your ‘toaster’ link.

- Give it as many tags as allowed (40 if memory serves).

- Join a couple groups.

- Give the lens some links (I use bookmarking demon).

Then just let it sit -  If in a month your ranking for the term and have a few sales you’ve found a new market…. and you have a place to link to right off the bat.

I know at some point someone is going to leave a comment and say “hey why not just use parasite hosting and have no sites of your own?”.  My answer:  That’s stupid since you own NOTHING at the end of the day.

Time to go back to “Day 6″ and come up with some ways of your own to expand this.  If you are like me and don’t like ‘working’ to benefit just the parasite hosting companies you should take a look at how I do this.

Working with wordpress MU and Parasite Hosts.

I know your looking for some ‘magic’ answer here but there isn’t… the good news is you can test out (and earn) in just a few minutes using places like squidoo.  It takes maybe 10 minutes to create a lens.  Maybe 10 minutes to tag and join groups, and 5 minutes to build some links.  If you don’t have bookmarking demon just use any social networking service you like.
