Time To Be Sneaky!

The 2008 1st quarter pagerank update’s winding up. Many siteowners found that their rankings didn’t improve- I’m one of them despite seeing site linking and human traffic triple since last December.

Six blackhat friends of mine, on the other hand, are crowing. They have taken relatively new sites from PR 3 to PR6. One leapt from PR0 to PR4. And that’s for a three month old blog.

Dang.

So I got them drunk. And they began spilling the beans. Turns out they took a sustained two pronged attack: creating hundreds of pages of optimized content and raking in massive amounts of backlinks. It was their secret to hurdling the last PR update.

My friends recommended some Aggressive SEO Tools. There’s a risk of getting caught and banned so I warn against using these:

Sneaky Tool 1: Rss Equalizer. Created by master webmarketer Jeff Alderson, this tool creates static pages out of RSS Feeds. You can spawn thousands of optimized pages in minutes with this scraper. Slap on Adsense and the revenue rolls in. Be warned- Made For Adsense sites goes against Google’s TOS.

Sneaky Tool 2: Traffic Equalizer. Jeff’s flagship product scrapes search results and generates thousands of pages from them. If you’ve ever seen what appears to be spam pages full of google-like page listings, chances are T.E. made it. This software fools google by spewing up results that look exactly like google generated queries. Like with RSS Equalizer, TE can drive in massive Adsense traffic- until you get caught.

Sneaky Tool 3: ArticleBot: Imagine churning out hundreds of semantically sound clones (with minor variations) of a single original article? Presto! You can start up a massive article directory off a few private label articles. Article Bot helps optimize the pages for words you specify so this makes it a snap to run context sensitive advertising on the pages. Be warned: some webmastes claim that the tool sends data back to its creator. ArticleBot also violates Adsense TOS for MFAs.

Sneaky Tool 4: Kloakit: Cloaking serves different web content to different visitors, based on their identity. For Kloakit’s purposes, the webmaster targets search engine spiders, serves them highly optimized content for good rankings, and presents a more human readable content to regular surfers.

Sounds pretty simple, doesn’t it? Why doesn’t everybody do it? Cloaking is dangerous… and highly profitable. The risk comes in when a search engine (usually very belatedly) discovers a page is cloaked. The page will be dropped from the index and probably the whole domain as well.

Sneaky Tool 5: Ad Networks and Link Vault: Browse the operating principles of the ad networks and you’ll discover what amounts to huge link farms nicely blended into many participating sites. Some serices provide static, non-rotating links. Some provide dynamic, shifting links. Link-Vault got a severe slap from google- PR0 from PR7. So… watch it!

Locked and loaded. Anyone prepared to fire these weapons?
