Comment on Pinterest Traffic by Hospitalera

Not a big surprise there, social traffic doesn’t click ads, BUT it can be quite useful for a couple of other things like getting real people to your website that you might or might not convert into subscribers, sign up to your email list etc or for attracting natural backlinks if they bookmark you as a resource and refer to you later from their own sites. I am experimenting around with Pinterest myself at the moment and so far the biggest plus is that I can organize my bookmarks in a more visual way, something that suits me.

Great list, but you might want to update some of the urls Some have changed their domains, and some like Allyn, have taken down most of their content. SY

“The worst part of these guys is that they do not have anyway of opting out of their spamming email list. You know they are the lowest of the lowest scum when they are too cheep to use an automated opt out program.”

You know that you can report them for that, don’t you? Depending on the email list method they use either direct to their service (Aweber or similar) or here: http://onguardonline.gov/articles/0038-spam#report not having an opt-out that works is against the CAN-SPAM law and can be prosecuted.

Wow the secrets of an online income for only $2 – how can you say no! You saying you’re valuing time at more than that – should send them a bill for reading their lame email!

LOL, Haven’t we all been there? Was a member back in 07 and thought it was awesome (I was brainwashed back then obviously).

Let’s hope that it really is the “very last time we will contact you about this”. Although I suspect not.

[...] spammers … once they latch onto your email address they NEVER let go. This is one of the sure signs of a Guru scammer. They think they own your email [...]

Comment on TKA 2.0: Is Mark the new Griz? by Leo Dimilo

Best of luck to mark and Court teaching this stuff. I think that when it comes to natural link building, there is definitely a learning curve and a ton more work involved.

You can pretty much throw out the “green” keyword business as well because it won’t apply when you jump into a market anymore. Competition suddenly becomes real people with their own unique USP’s and the links will be given under true merit.

Then there are variables according to a market-by-market basis, which could have you shifting strategies mid stream. A bit of luck is also involved.

Given all that, I would bet the failure rate would be higher than the success rate. Not everyone can win in this race. And when you take the rote step-by-step, spam links across networks and call them “guest posts” for ranking, suddenly you swimming in an ocean, not a pond.

Best of luck to them. Best of luck.

The only site that got hit is one of my autoblogs. I’m starting to replace my autoblogs with PR sites. My 6 month old PR site is actually making decent money ($10-15/day from adsense and $2 from infolinks).

That alone is worth joining the TKA, it’ll probably make more when the future PR rules are applied.

Griz should post soon, the last thing I learned from him is report your competition lol

He has mentioned a couple in the past: ScooterSam.com, and colorardoLasikSurgeryGuide.com. Both are sites that he built to show what we do at TKA … they might not look like much, but they get the traffic and are both well placed in the SERPS.

Somebody slapped 1 Hub of mine … I’m not sure if it was Google or Hubpages. That hub was making between $400 and $500 per month for me, so it’s been a big hit. My other sites and Hubs are all steady or moving up.

A lot of legitimate sites got hit with the Farmer/Panda update in late Feb and I understand that it rolled out internationally recently. That is likely what got your site. Check out this site for some results: Search Engine Watch.

Just curious about mark’s own sites, cause whenever he brings up example sites it’s always the TKA or courtneytuttle.com. Maybe he’s brought it up in the past, I dunno, only been a member for 6 months.

Did you get slapped recently? My crap sites continue to increase in traffic. My money sites too. My link launderers didn’t increase or decrease, but one of my auto blogs got slapped.
