SEO Black Hat: SEO Blog and Private Forum

We got our hands on a source for real searches from “a major search engine”. These are not referral logs from any site, but actual searches typed into the search engine. It’s similar to the AOL database in that sense. While loading up 5,824,601 of the real search phrases for our forum members to use, I took a look at some of these crazy search queries. Here were some of the highlights:

how do i stop taking phentermine
stop taking lexapro
bus stop whore
look up young girls skirts
how to kill yourself in 60 secounds
how to kill a sister
how to kill dogs with antifreeze
how to castrate your husban
my husband doesn’t care about our marriage and my kids won’t talk to him
kurt cobain is a god
33% of women say they’ve had this happen to them at work. 80% would like to have it happen
how can you help save the rain forest
where does bill gates live

There are tons more amazing searches in there. Unlike the AOL searches, our db does not link the search to the users. Seeing things like this only reinforce the need for Internet privacy. Do you want slimely politicians getting there hands on information like this for blackmail, campaigns, or political purposes? I know I don’t. How long before some “high morality” group thinks it’s a good idea to legislate against Thoughtcrimes?

Anyway enough with the politics and onto making money. Forum members can now download the entire list of 5,824,601 real search phrases from this thread.

Enjoy!

About 4 weeks ago, one of the posts on the private SEO Black Hat Forum showed how to get your content indexed on a Google Domain AND have backlinks that counted from the big G.

Here was the original post:

I call this the Google PDA Hack as that is simply what it is. A small breach in Googlebot makes it index it’s own PDA search results.

This will probably not last for a whole lot longer as more and more people are starting to use it but anyhow here is a quick guide on how to.

1. Let’s first see it in action
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=round+and+brown&
btnG=Google+Search

Second listing
http://www.google.com/pda%3F&as_q%3DRound+N+Brown+site:
kimosabi.en.wanad oo.es&num%3D20

2. To get your site listed with the PDA hack its important that the site you want listed is already indexed by Googlebot otherwise it wont show and even more important it is that your domain don’t get banned. F.x last week some guy refspammed the [heck] out of this gimmick and he was 3rd on Viagra so his domain was listed under the PDA search pages but no pages was indexed as he was banned. Don’t make that mistake. Just get your pages indexed don’t get them ranking. The PDA hack will do that for you.

3. Now we change the pda search string. It’s easy as ABC.
http://www.google.com/pda%3F&as_q%3DSearch+Term
+site:domain.com&num%3D20

4. Ok now you ready with your PDA search string. Simply take it and get it linked from somewhere and you should be in the SERPs in no time.

That’s all folks!

 

It’s funny, because a couple of people PM me saying they can’t find anything to use in the forum – while others tell me it’s far and away the best forum they’ve seen.

Most of us knew the Google PDA Hack was incredible; we also knew it would not be around forever. Alas! The exploit has been fixed — but it was great while it lasted! Several people IMed me about how they were raking in the cash on very competitive SERPs because of this Google PDA hack.

Indeed, Black Hat SEO is a constantly evolving art form. That’s why if you have the tools and knowledge to take advantage of an exploit when it becomes available, you want to be one of the first to know about it.

Is this kind of information worth paying money for? Well, not for everyone. Clearly my Grandmother would not have benefited from having this information 4 weeks ago. On the other hand, many of our members were able to abuse this exploit before it was patched up and made more than enough to pay for YEARS of membership to the Private SEO Black Hat Forum.

Will joining the forum be worthwhile for you? Maybe. Maybe not. It’s definiately not for everyone. However, your opportunity to “peek under the hood” for $100 will soon be coming to a close . . .

(Special thanks to Insomniac of Digital Cyber Soft for posting most of the following in our forum):

What is a proxy?

In it’s simplest form a proxy is a relay for data between two computers. A proxy can be anonymous, or not anonymous (transparent). As with most things one proxy does not fit all situations, so you will have to find the most appropriate proxy to the task you wish to complete.

What does that have to do with SEO?

This completely depends on what you wish to accomplish. The two most common purposes for proxies in the SEO industry are firstly to spoof (or fake) your country of origin, and secondly to get around various filters imposed on you by various websites.

Why would I want to fake my country?

There are many reasons, not all of which are Black Hat. In the past I have had a Right Media rep tell me to use a proxy to test geotargetting (serving diferent ad or content to diferent regions). From a Black Hat perspective, you might wish to artificially make it appear you receive a higher percentage of U.S. traffic (or any other region for that matter).

Why do websites filter by IP usage? Don’t they wan’t the traffic?

Alot of websites offer some great services which are useful to everyone. However if their server load is too high their costs increase. Or they could be in a situation where the data they provide is valuable, so they only provide small ammounts of it at a time. Most sites which filter traffic do so on a per IP basis, and only rarely filter by C block’s (the last digits of an IP 192.68.0.XXX).

I get it, proxies give me more IP’s to abuse, but why would I care about being anonymous?

Apart from the obvious situation where the service you are accessing is copyright, there are plenty more reasons. For example, if you are creating multiple accounts on a service such as Digg, your IP you use makes it very easy for moderators to locate your fake accounts and remove them. However if each account has diferent details and no logical link between them then you are far less likely to lose your accounts all at once.

Sounds dodgy, are proxies legal?

This is a rather touchy subject, most free countries have no laws against using proxies aslong as you don’t have to bypass any security to use it. This means, if the proxy requires a username and password to access it then unless the proxy owner has given it to you, you are not legally allowed to use it. Thankfully, Black Hat SEO techniques do not include illegal activities, but if one were to step over that border then a proxy is a must.

Is it ok to transfer sensitive information over proxies?

Unless you own and run it, absolutely not. People have been known to setup Honeypot (system activity monitor) proxies to do jut that, steal information.

Wow, proxies are great, but where do they come from?

A large ammount of the time proxies are setup by accident. System administrators intend to set one up for their network and accidentally forget to deny external traffic. Certain types of proxies such as Socks (not made for the feet) are more commonly spread by viruses for email spam purposes.

Ok, I got myself some proxies, but they none of them seem to do anything, whats the deal?

Quite simply, most people who provide proxies do not test them properly first. Due to the nature of proxies they regularly go down, and run under some odd parameters.

Your average proxy list goes through one stage checking against what is called a “proxy judge”. However, due to the nature of checks in the average standalone software — it’s not always possible to detect whether a proxy is truly active or not. This leads to many false positives about whether the proxy is active and even about its’ anontmity.

The system we use to build the proxy list for proxy.seoblackhat.com goes through a considerable ammount of tests and frequent rechecks. The entire list of public proxies is rechecked roughly once every two hours. Access to the proxy list is a new benefit availabe to forum members.

A script to fetch the proxies has already been created and posted on the boards.

Normally, buying and using an aged domain with existing backlinks for a new project is the best option for a webmaster. However, if you already have a sizable network of sites and tons of great contacts in the industry, you should consider selecting a name that is brandable and fits with what you are doing.

This process can pay large dividends later on when your brand name becomes synonymous with the service you offer. Plus, brainstorming doesn’t have to be a painful process – you can have fun while being productive. After all, when the game stops being fun, it’s time to find something else to do.

Take the example of Levi from boogybonbon. About a month ago, we started talking about an incredible new Keyword service he was developing.

These excerpts from our ICQ conversations should help you when you’re brainstorming about a new project:

Session Start (L3vi): Tue Aug 15 18:09:04 2006
L3vi: I’m asking a handful of friends. Got any good ideas for a keyword search service domain name? The guy at searchables.com will not sell me the domain no matter what I offer so I’m now scratching my head on something that is marketable to the point that I could standup to wordtracker or better.
QuadsZilla: consider something brandable without kw
L3vi: yeah.. that’s what I been trying..
L3vi: looking for something with word or keyword.. or something that will feel like keywords stuff. lol seo, design, marketing is easy.. this is always the pain in the ass stuff.
QuadsZilla: keywordalizer
L3vi: hmm not bad how about wordalizer.com
QuadsZilla: you could also go with something like keywordromp
QuadsZilla: wordromp
QuadsZilla: if its avail
L3vi: that sounds like a sex site. ;p LOL
QuadsZilla: = more traffic!
L3vi: how about wordzar
L3vi: wordzar.com
QuadsZilla: is that how you spell zar?
QuadsZilla: isn’t there another letter in there?
L3vi: yeah
L3vi: its tzar or also spelled ZAR
L3vi: ref dictionary.com
QuadsZilla: wordbot?
L3vi: taken
L3vi: Zar may refer to: Alternative spelling of “Tsar” was the official title of the supreme ruler in the following states. ref wikipedia
QuadsZilla: that’s what i was thinking
L3vi: that one has come back around 3 times. Larry gives a B+. I’m middle ground about it, but been spitting out domain names all day so I’m getting run down on what sounds good and what is just another word. LOL
QuadsZilla: justanotherword.com
QuadsZilla: ;p
L3vi: lol
L3vi: “[16:55] l3vi: Thebestknownblackhatkeywords.com
[16:55] l3vi: lol
[16:55] l3vi: wordtrackertookalltheotherdomains-soimstuckwiththisshit.com
[16:56] Larry: lol”
QuadsZilla: i own yembi.com
QuadsZilla: if you want that
QuadsZilla: not too descriptive
QuadsZilla: but very “2.0″
QuadsZilla: you really going to start that on a fresh domain?
L3vi: don’t know if it feels right. Ill have to sleep on that..
QuadsZilla: that’s madness
L3vi: yeah. why not. LOL built my empire from fresh domains. ;p
QuadsZilla: back in the day
QuadsZilla: how about wordtacker?
QuadsZilla: wordtackler
L3vi: I could put it on boogybonbon.com, but I don’t know how well it will hold up on my blog for a service.
QuadsZilla: wordsmacker
L3vi: I don’t want to get in any wrangles with wordtracker of copyright and C&Ds
QuadsZilla: i know. i was kidding
L3vi: bbl going to go play some 360 and drink a beer. ;p get my mind off of it till I get a better idea.
QuadsZilla: you’ll think of it when you’re half drunk
L3vi: yeah then forget it. LOL

Finally, after he decided to take a break and walk away from it - it hit him:

Session Start (L3vi): Tue Aug 15 19:32:39 2006
L3vi: I did not even get down the steps. LOL I think I found it.. wordze.com
QuadsZilla: that’s GOOD!
L3vi: cool that’s 3 thumbs up.. Ill go with that. now im taking that break..

We’ve had tons of other talks about Wordze since. I finally got to take it for a spin last week and was VERY impressed with the caliber of the product.

From today’s official release:

Unlike any other keyword research service available today, Wordze.com provides users access to a whole new level of keyword research by giving users up-to-date historical and sessional data on keywords that are being search for by internet users through ISP’s or Internet Portals.

 

It’s head and shoulders above the other keyword research products out there and can even give you an estimate on how competitive a search phrase is with its’ patent pending “Wordrank” technology.

Already, forum members have a great domain tool to work with and a 50% discount on the profession Cloaking software Kloakit. Levi and I are working out the details on how exactly to give access to members of the private SEO Black Hat forum. It will most likely be some sort of discount and the ability to test drive the product.

Look for an announcement on that in the next week or so.

We will be announcing yet another service that is only available to members of the Private SEO Black Hat Forums tomorrow . . .

Since launching the Private SEO Black Hat Forum everyone keeps contacting me to ask two questions:

1. How is the Forum Going? and
2. Can I get a free Membership?

First, the forum is going great! It is already much more successful than I had hoped it would be. The value per post is unparalleled. The conversations are meaty and the best I’ve seen anywhere on the Web.

Inside the Private SEO Black Hat forum, we are having a contest for the month of September. Here is the thread:

I’m going to give $500 to whoever writes the best post in September.

Here are the rules:

Anyone can enter: including moderators. (I won’t enter).

You nominate your own best post in this thread.

I’ll close the thread on October 2nd and start a poll with all entries.

Voting for 5 days.

Top 4 posts will be selected for a new runoff poll.

5 more days of voting.

Whoever wins the most votes in that poll gets the $500.

 

A word of caution: I do not recommend joining the forum solely on the expectation of winning that contest. There are some very strong candidates already and we are less than a third of the way through the month.

But since I keep getting emails and messages like this:

Hey Quads,

These are some of the sites that I own: [list of sites]. I’ve been doing [list of expertise] forever and was wondering, could I get free subscription to yours forum?

-[lots of people]

 

and I’m tired of just saying no all the time, we’re going to open up another contest for people that are not yet paid members. Maybe, for someone like you . . .

During the next 7 days, you will have a chance to win a 3 month subscription to our private forum. All you have to do is email me (contest at seoblackhat.com) with the best post you can come up with. I’ll post all the good submissions in the forums and let everyone vote. Whoever gets the most votes, wins the subscription.

What should you write about? Whatever you think will get the most votes.

It’s put-up or shut-up time.

If you think you’ve got what it takes, here’s your chance to prove it.

The Private SEO Black Hat Forum launch yesterday was overwhelming. The response was incredibly positive and many more people joined than I had expected.

But with that success came a few snares. Either some people who joined did not read this part carefully enough:

Expert Discussions: The SEO Black Hat forums are not for everyone and they may not be right for you. If you are relatively new to SEO or building websites, then do not join the SEO Black Hat Forums: you will be in way over your head. There are plenty of newbie forums out there for you – this is not one of them. Our forums are for successful web entrepreneurs to develop strategies that drive more traffic and generate more revenues.

 

or did not understand my meaning.

Hopefully this post will help you to understand what is meant and will save you money if you are a Newbie.

Let’s take the extreme example of this post:

Yea.. so I’ve been reading a bunch of stuff lately, but not really understanding it..
basically from what I get here’s the gist of making a few hundred or thousand sites:
1. get domains
2. get a crap load of data
3. use a program to mine that and make “articles”
4. publish

So, basically, I have no clue as to HOW one would do that. I’d be really happy if someone would write a tutorial covering all of that, or posted some links to some good reads.

 

If you join the Private SEO Black Hat forum and post something like this, two things are going to happen:

1. The post will be deleted
2. You will have your posting privileges limited

One thing that is NOT going to happen:
1. You will get a refund.

In this poster’s case he was not looking for a refund but just wanted to learn. That is understandable, but we are not having discussions at that level on the Private SEO Black Hat forum.

Here was another ICQ I received:

“dude, reading that forum is like reading another language . . .”

 

Again, this is understandable. What we are discussing is not for everyone.

Now, that’s not to say we don’t answer questions and help each other in the forums . . . because we do. But the discussion is on a higher level than you are going to find at other places and you may not be ready for it yet. Seriously.

What you need to do if you are a Newbie

Save yourself the $100 and go read some of the FREE forums out there. They have people on those other forums that are happy to field newbie questions. Your first task is to figure out how to use Google to find them.

Second: take some of the money you just saved, buy Aaron Walls SEO Book and Read It. It’s worth the time and money. (Link without the affiliate code if you prefer).

Third: Develop a Bullshit detector. There are tons of scams out there and mediocre SEOs who act like they are the greatest thing since sliced bread. Learn to tell the difference between who’s for real, and who’s full of shit.

Fourth: Learn some basic coding skills or at least learn to converse with programmers. Then go out and experiment. Will you fall on your face the first few times? Probably – I think we all have. But if you’re smart, failure can be the best teacher.

The Private SEO Black Hat Forums do not have the “secrets” to make you “get rich quick” and, in the end, there is no substitute for experience. Anyone who tells you otherwise is lying to you.

We DO have very exciting discussions that are benefiting our members greatly going on right now . . . but if you aren’t going to understand them – why join?

Am I turning away money from suckers by writing this? Of course I am. But if you’re too green to properly participate - I don’t want your money.

You know that the best SEO Black Hats are doing something more than scraping, using a site generator, comment spamming, and pinging to be raking in more than $100k per month.

But what is it?

Right now, there is way too much good stuff that I simply can’t publish on the SEO Black Hat blog. If I posted these tactics and exploits they would immediately get all the wrong kind of attention. The detailed conversations about how exactly to abuse search engine algorithms, generate massive traffic, and what other Black Hats are doing must remain underground to retain their effectiveness.

But what if I told you that you could discuss these exploits with me without paying my $500 an hour consulting fee? What if I told you there was a way to join in on the private, cutting edge discussions with some of the best Black Hats and web entrepreneurs in the world?

Would you be interested?

Because now you can . . .

Today is the official launch of the resource you’ve looked everywhere for but never found:

The Private SEO Black Hat Forum

Normally what you get on forums are people who don’t know anything talking with people who don’t want to say anything. You can occasionally find amazing tips on some forums: but you have to dig through 400 crappy posts just to find one post that is useful. That becomes a huge time sink.

How are the SEO Black Hat forums different?

Quality: We’re not going to have any contests to see who can make the most posts. That just creates tons of crap that no one wants to read. Our focus is on quality over quantity. Our primary concern is with succinctly answering one question: “What works?”

Sophisticated: Many of the topics we discuss are very advanced and require a high level of technical or business acumen to appreciate.

Expert Discussions: The SEO Black Hat forums are not for everyone and they may not be right for you. If you are relatively new to SEO or building websites, then do not join the SEO Black Hat Forums: you will be in way over your head. There are plenty of newbie forums out there for you – this is not one of them. Our forums are for successful web entrepreneurs to develop strategies that drive more traffic and generate more revenues.

Pricing: $100 per month.

The price will soon be rising significantly as more databases, hosted tools, scripts and exploits are added. However, once you lock in a membership rate it will never go up and you will continue to have access to everything.
