New online store and use black hat to bring lots of sales
-
I have one online store and all the seo rules are follow to increase ranking and sales.
Buying a new url a launching a new store ( to sale exactly the same products) is fast, easy and cheap.
How about using black hat to this new store? I think I have nothing to loose. Is there something I should know before moving ahead?
Launching a new store is very cheap and black hat can be done by one of those overseas company at low prices
First thing, this new store should not link to my actual store I guess.
Any advice?
Thank you,
BigBlaze

Using black hat SEO for a small store is kind of like littering- it seems harmless, but it's a part of the problem.
Please don't do it. It's just ugly, deceitful and everybody is worse of for it. Search engines are getting smarter by the day, and they'll find you and punish you for it. Why not just do it the decent, responsible and respectful way? Don't support these underground industries.

This is a thing I have been thinking of myself. More for a bit of fun and to see how it is done.

ok I agree with lesley idea.One of the key point is you have to buy domain in other name.This is really important Godaddy and many other domain sellers share a large amount of data with Google so you need to be really careful about making this choice.
I do suggest you to think about one thing.This about these two options.
Flying in area and crashing down
OR
Go up consistently step by step.

While I am not opposed to the idea, I would make a few considerations. I would make sure that nothing is linked between the two sites. Make sure your ssl certificate is filled out in a different company name with a different address. Buy the domain in another name as well. It could be a fun experiment, but one thing I would highly advise against is using negative SEO. It seems like more and more people are including that in their black hat strategy these days, but just don't do it.

Could lots of links pointed to 301 & 302 redirects be a problem?
Hello, We've got hundreds of links found in screaming frog that are pointing towards 301 & 302 redirects. Could this be hurting rankings? We've got very few 404s. A lot of the problem is breadcrumbs of categories pointing to 302s, but the original category pages that are 302ed are not indexed so we may be OK. We can't change the 302 redirects, it's part of the cart. Could all these non-updated hyperlinks be the cause of continual ranking drop in Google? We've gone from the top 3 to the second page for our main terms. Thanks!

How do I prepare my store for Penguin 2.0?
Looking for advice from someone who has been keeping up on the updates from Matt Cutts, other sources on what to work on for my web store to prevent getting hit hard by the upcoming penguin update.Practical advice on what to clean up on the site would be extremely useful. Watched a Matt Cutts video yesterday getting a preview...I'm very curious about the part saying that Google will show preference to those who are "Experts in their Fields." What makes you qualified for this? We are in the wicker furniture industry and have been a local brick and mortar store since 1982. We started our website about 1998, so I would consider that experience possibly part of the equation. On the other hand, I know everyone would love to say they are the experts in their niche, so it would be nice to know what needs to be done to achieve this. Thank you in advance for any help, Mark Grabowski Wicker Paradise xQmQeKU25zg

I need Black Hat Examples
So I need a little help. I'm guest lecturing this week for a local college class on web design. We are going to be talking about Black Hat design for a little bit and things to avoid. I'd like to share some examples in the wild of old school tactics, keyword stuffing, cloaking, hidden text. Anyone have any good examples? If you don't want to share them publicly feel free to sent me a private message. I would like to give the students some interesting examples so they can visualize it. Thanks!

Black Hat? Is it really possible my new client paid someone to SEO the word "here"?
I just took on a client and first thing I saw in Webmaster Tools was the dreaded "Unnatural Link Patterns" message dated Apr 7th, 2012. MajesticSEO is reporting 212 backlinks, OSE is reporting 251. Nothing out of the ordinary, in fact they only anchor text is their brand. However, we then ran an SEO PowerSuite Crawl and found 429 backlinks with 78.1% of links use the anchor text "here" and 77.9% of all links point to the same URL. If this is indeed true I can see why they got the message from Google. The company has admitted they hired a service to do SEO for $299/mo for several months but when they saw no results they quit. Could this company really have gone after "here". It not, I can't find anything that would give them the message they got from Google Webmaster Tools.

Geotargeting a new domain without impacting traffic to existing domain
I had previously asked this as a 'private question' and couldn't make it a 'public question' automatically-- hence reposting it as a new question: We have an existing site, let's say www.xyz.com --- which attracts traffic from all over the world (including the US), though it's primary audience is the UK/ Europe. Most of this traffic is via organic search results on Google. Now, there is a business case to launch a US-centric website -- www.xyz.us, which will have most of its content from the original site (probably with some localization). Our goal is that on day 1 when the new site xyz.us is launched, we want all traffic originating from the US (and may be some other North American countries) to be directed to the .us domain instead of the .com domain. We don't want to lose any search engine traffic; equally importantly, we want this to be done in a manner that is seen by the search engines as a legitimate technique. What are the best options to do this such that the new .US site automatically inherits all of the traffic from the .com site on day 1, without either of these sites getting penalized in any form. Thanks.
