    One broad website or several smaller ones?

    mistrel is spot on, but alternatively you can try categories as folders as well with more or less the same SEO impact as long as you have an independent category page. I mean dogs.com/leashes as category independent page, and you can build dogs.com/leashes/training-leashes.html to host the...

    Time on site % effecting ranking?

    Turn clocks back to '09 I when I ran some before/after tests enabling and disabling Google Analytics on a page -> on a website with low visits, low bounce rate, no visible impact on rankings. On a website with high visits, high bounce rate -> drop in rankings with GA code on the page. Did it a...

    Which superpower would you choose?

    I am not picky about imaginary powers - proved in a debate years ago that anything you can do better than anyone else is a super-power in itself. Balancing a ball on the top of your head longer than anyone else still qualifies - so I guess my answer is - I'd like to be better than anyone else at...

    Feedback on my plan would be appreciated :)

    My 2c - get your competitors assessed for the respective keywords. Sometimes you don't need the "perfect" onpage SEO from day one, but you must know where you stand and get a clear view on their backlinks footprint.

    Had my first idea for site but scared of jumping in?

    I'll try to give you some ideas, but please do your own research - there is no "best" or "ultimate" method for doing this, as far as I am concerned. When it comes to using/buying tools, I recommend first of all you learn how to do every aspect manually and then start using a tool. If you do...

    First post: A couple questions

    Welcome to the forum, it is great you took time to do your research and ask yourself these questions - I think you have already found some of your own answers. To get the other side of things on e-books, I found this thread very informative

    Is your WordPress blog not being indexed by Google?

    Yes, this is actually true, Google changed their ways some times ago. Not sure if it affects the SEs, though - unless they started using canonicalization as well. So no reason to beat yourself. Yet this is something I have never looked into seriously - is WP adding the canonical parameter...

    Had my first idea for site but scared of jumping in?

    do your market research first. traffic volumes, industry conversion rates, competition - they all matter. might be the most wonderful niche ever and still have insufficient volumes to make it viable. on the other hand, the players you mentioned have behind a trail of affiliates left without a...

    Do you join any paid survey program?

    I would recommend being very careful around these. In order to get paid, you need to fill in your real details, otherwise is fraud. Sometimes what starts as a survey (in fact a plain zip-submit) ends as a trial offer and credit card details are requested. If you end up enrolled in a couple of...

    Response to scammers

    Thank you for the follow-up. I see your point, please allow me to explain mine. What you suggested was setting up a website to inform potential buyers that a certain product/service was a scam. So far, the OP said he could not avail of the risk-free option (get his money back). The...

    Response to scammers

    hm... so blackmail is the solution. how long until we hire a botnet to DDOS the website? escalating an incident is easy, the reverse - a lot more complicated. PS. *** Are those affiliate links in your sig?
