    Do you focus on impressions or clicks?

    It's pretty standard that paying by CPM means paying for branding and little traffic while paying by CPC means paying for actual traffic. The big brands have traffic, they want branding, and so they tend to pay by the impression more often than not.

    Don't get caught up in forex scams

    I'm seeing a whole lot of posts for various "investment" sites that say you can send them a small amount and then earn interest payments from it while the site invests it in forex for you. The catch is that these are all fly by night sites, created hundreds at a time, and you will get a...

    How to get a higher PR?

    Lots of incoming links, and a solid assortment of outgoing links, is what drives PR. Think of the web like a spider web and your site is one of the connections in that web. You want to have the strongest incoming connections you can and you want to hold on to the strongest connections to other...

    Optimizing MyBB

    I'm not so sure about that anymore Jimmy, there's a storm brewing at SEOclerks I think. They are allowing people to post requests for adsense clicks which is going to unleash a mighty Google wrath upon the site eventually. People will lose their adsense accounts and SEOClerks will gain the bad...

    Unique domain

    As far as I know it's not even possible to have a duplicate domain :) I assume you're referring to sites like blogger.com and wordpress.com and the thought of switching to your own domain? Google trusts your site more if it is on a public blog system which polices itself but there is also a...

    Are SEOClerks days numbered?

    It looks like SEOClerks is now allowing people to ask for adsense clicks in offers on their site and you've got to know that Google will come down swiftly and without mercy on that type of thing. You can't mess with Google's bread and butter and expect not to get smacked silly, ya know? I have...

    Blank Pages and PR

    I'll vouch for that. It's a pain and it's painfully slow to build up followers the hard way. At least one good piece of link bait can bring in a surge in traffic from time to time and those pay dividends on subscriber counts too. I wonder if blank pages could rank if enough people linked to...

    What's your favorite SEO tool?

    Is Samurai having problems now that Google doesn't report the keyword on most searches? I'm always hesitant to use Google keyword products because they have a reputation for intentionally only offering suggestions and not comprehensive lists.

    Black Hat or White Hat SEO?

    Hi tara, Here is the page that is talking about an advance reading of the book including the topics I mentioned above. The link: http://blogs.wsj.com/corporate-intelligence/2013/02/01/the-future-according-to-eric-7-points/ I still get a chuckle when I think of people getting automated...

    What about Google image search. Now that they hotlink are you having troubles with them? Bandwidth? Image theft? There is an interesting discussion developing on istock about Google basically stealing images. They bought the rights to images that were stolen apparently. Must read...

    Do you buy backlinks?

    Really Bauss? From where? And are you going to pay monthly on those? I do have one experience with backlink buying and I wasn't the buyer. I was approached by someone wanting to buy a link on a specific page with specific anchor text and though I declined the buyer surprised me a great deal...

    Why does Facebook send less traffic than twitter?

    In both cases it depends on your following. If you bought most of those 1000 followers, on either network, you're not going to get much traffic from posting anything. Even if they are real people they are paid to follow you and probably aren't even interested in your site.

    Share your traffic sources here!

    I guess the theme her is every little bit of traffic helps but my recommendation is that you don't spend too much time chasing the little traffic if it takes away from your time creating the content that can bring more traffic in the long run.

    Mentors

    Ditto, that's why I mentioned John Chow, he does the same thing. The title of his site says it all, "I make money online by telling people how much money I make online". Self promotion - figuring out what works and what doesn't is priceless.

    Web roundups and inspiration lists

    Another benefit of web roundups is that you link to a few different sources from one page and the webmasters of those sites will then see your site in their reports and may come visit, follow you or perhaps even include your site in future articles of theirs. The more actual traffic you send...
