And related to this: how far do you go with tracking traffic? Obviously, you don't install GAnalytics on your sites. Do you use a similar product (say Sitemeter) or is it bad to use any common Javascript tag with ID because of the footprint it shows? If you use server side tracking (say with a common PHP include) what kind of stuff do you think is important to track? Thanks! I’d also love another post going into more detail on automation.

Also, are there any that don't work? are there any that are no longer worth our time, (like, is hanging around the directory forum at digitalpoint any value at all, for example). here’s another question. every person and their dog has a post on “link building strategies.”

Of course - given the name of your blog - you're not a believer in strictly white hat techniques. but is this a legitimate strategy for some, or is it actually naive, and bad advice to a new webmaster? the reason I ask is that I suspect this advice is given out by people who got in early when there was less competition, and who attribute their success to the wrong things: (a) "of course my site is a success, because it's awesome and my content rocks" (b) "of course my site is a success, because being Good pays off karmically". (I'm caricaturing the reasoning, but I don't think I'm too far off the mark). Anyway, I've tried this strategy, you might call it the "passive white hat" strategy and it didn't seem to work. so I'm curious what you think. white hat sites like webmasterworld advocate a policy of creating quality content, a sort of “build it and they will come” philosophy.

How much traffic is a lot of traffic? You stated in one of your posts that you can cash in .50 to 5 bucks per site visitor. I'm just a geek with some websites, but I could quit my job if I could get just one of my sites to do that. If you're converting cash out of every visitor, how much traffic do you actually need? Anything with real numbers, honestly. Dollars, site stats, percentages, whatever. Hell, if you have a moment, how do you do that? I wouldn't mind quitting my job at all.

I have a large number of sites, some in the same niche that i'd really like to leverage to promote my new sites. How best to do this? I would interlink but dont fancy losing all the sites if something happened I really want to know how best to leverage your existing sites to promote new ones.

For example, even though there are lots of pages about "Fisher Island" in Miami, the destination guide ranks first (fisher island site:oyster.com). "' What would qualify as good site structure to make one page not be overwhelmed by other inner pages? Thanks! I hope I can squeeze another question in. :)

Preferably without getting shot down by Google. Is there anything else (faster) besides normal anchor text link building with profiles, parasites and articles? 2) Can you tell us more about using Markov chains to generate content? And recommend some software programs we can use? I've looked up google, but can't quite bridge the gap from the high-level theories to actual practical application for internet marketing. Also, the only software I've found seems to be financial simulators for Monte Carlo Markov simulations. I don't think this is the right kind of Markov chain software, is it? Also, I've read single-chain Markov vs multi-chain Markov mentioned. Any idea what this is? Thanks. 1) How do we rank for Bing and Yahoo? Preferably without getting shot down by Google.
