to encourage you to extend the conversation in the comments and talk about

other things that happened.All in all, the year in online music wasn‘t exactly

as exciting as it was for online video. There was a lot more legal turmoil

involved, not that that is surprising. There were some ups and downs, but

there were still some cool things to come out of it. What do you think about

the year for this industry? Where do you think it is going next year?,I have

been a longtime reader and fan of, and recently asked Eli for an interview.

He said sure, and here it is.,What is your background? What got you into SEO?I

started around ‘95-‘96. I had a lot of interest in music and games and stuff

so I created a couple sites related to stuff I normally really enjoy and

download a lot. I got in good company with a few guys who ran hosting and

colocation companies who made quite a bit of money so naturally my focus

started shifting towards how I can make as much as they do. From there it

kind of spurred into researching and developing traffic generation and search

engine related stuff in an effort to keep up with these guys who had quite

a bit more resources and money than my broke ass did. From there it kind of

escalated and apart from a short break in college I‘ve been doing it ever

since.You have many original posts on your blog highlighting many interesting

techniques I have never heard shared publicly before. How do you come up with

all your new ideas?Thanks, even though they seem pretty generalized and

polished many of the techniques I talk about are developed from either a

problem I‘ve had to solve in the past or stuff I‘ve encountered while dabbling

in specific industries. For instance bloggers as an industry have a multitude

of resources and methods they use to promote their blogs. While a lot of their

techniques may seem like common sense to them and are well formed over years

of experience and others fine tuning it, their methods and resources may not

be so obvious to people in other industries. It‘s fairly safe to say that

I have ADD when it comes to jumping around in various niches and markets so

I get a good variety of the unique ways each one markets their sites. While

it may be standardized stuff to them, many of the techniques can be spun and

with a little creative twist can be applied to any other form of generic sites.

So while many of the techniques may create a Why didn‘t I think of that moment,

most are well practiced and many marketers within the specific industries

they came from know no other ways of doing it. I just kind of twist them and

collaborate them into a methodology anyone can use based on my own experiences

and how I‘ve applied them to my sites. Eitherway none of the techniques I

talk about ever negatively affects my actual business and I usually have the

techniques spun an even better way before I give out the old way.Isn‘t the

value of many aggressive SEO ideas inversely proportional to the number of

people using them? What makes you decide what ideas to share and when to share

them?In many cases that‘s absolutely correct. I‘ve shared several techniques

that have died within days of posting them. Just to list a few examples, my

Abandoned WordPress series, Wikipedia Series, and exploits. In all these

cases I know before I ever post it that it‘ll die moments after I do. So most

of the time I‘ll post it out of greed. They are usually techniques I‘ve been

using for several years and have since retired them out and quit using them.

Naturally with any technique others are bound to figure it out. When I start

seeing them popup underground and are being used against me in increasing

numbers when I‘m no longer using them myself I might as well wreck it. There‘s

a saying; If you‘re going to wreck a room, you might as well WRECK IT. So

in those rare cases when a retired technique starts becoming this annoying

little buzz in my ear I might as well squash it and help out a few of my readers

at the same time. Win-win if you ask me. Most of my other techniques on the

other hand are scalable and free range. I develop them to last, so whether

I‘m the only one doing it or everyone else on the net is doing it they‘re

not something that can get stopped only suppressed. Often times through saying

stuff like Don‘t do that, its sneaky and we don‘t like it. Existing propaganda

and inherent difficulties in the technique itself usually take care of the

rest and help weed out the people who just read for entertainment. There are

a few people however that have been reading since the very beginning and after

every single post actually do every technique and report back to me through

email. They‘ll be the first to testify that the techniques almost never die,

and just because many people know about them doesn‘t mean everyone is actually

using them.What are QUIT and SQUIRT? Is your system fairly scalable? What

types of risks are associated with using them? What types of site should I

consider using them on?stands for Quick Indexing Tool andstands for Super

Quick Indexing & Ranking Tools. My office is filled with wacky and weird

acronyms. QUIT is the free one that basically employs several hands off

indexing techniques I‘ve developed over the years. It helps get the submitted

site crawled by the search engines very quickly, and often times indexed

within a day or two. It works off a very simple principle. How many ways can

you think of to attract a search engine bot to a specific url? Make a

list…figure out a way to do each one with a hands off approach (can‘t modify

the site). You got yourself a Quick Indexing Tool.SQUIRT is the paid version

and works much the same way. It employs all the techniques QUIT does plus

a few extras that aren‘t scalable, so the membership must be limited. It also

goes one step further and develops a bit of link worth to the site to ease

it into better deep indexing and rankings. Lastly, it uses analysis of the

site to counter a few shortcomings through hands off methods. Just as an

example, if a page of the site doesn‘t have the targeted keywords in its title,

then give that page a few backlinks with the keywords as the anchor text.

Stuff like that. Most of it is very simple, there‘s just a lot of it in play

at once.If search did not exist what do you think you would be doing right

now?Lol, I‘d be super sizing your Value Meal.Currently it appears as though

Google is heavily focused on domain age and authority. Do you see them staying

this way for a long time? Does improving automated content generation

technology make it hard to move away from domain authority? Where do you see

them going next with their relevancy algorithms?I‘m going to have to politely

disagree with that. I think Google is moving in the opposite direction. More

towards LSI technology and content relevancy as it pertains to the domain

as whole much like Yahoo has been trying to pull off for many years. I think

the direction switch started taking place when MSN came out with its own

engine. While MSN focuses heavily on age as it pertains to their index rather

than actual domain age back when it first opened it had a very young and growing

index. So the rankings were more determined by keyword relevancy. So there

was a brief period where MSN had all these really nice fresh sites and while

rankings were much easier to come by they had fresh results with newly updated

content and newer sites with better information. Meanwhile Google, who was

relying heavily on DMOZ (as a basic prerequisite for rankings) was finding

themselves with SERPS that had a bunch of old stagnant abandoned sites. This

was very apparent if you were developing sites in aged industries such as

Real Estate. Just three years ago if you had a real estate site, no matter

how good it was, it was constantly outranked by old agent cookie cutter sites,

and unless your site was at least a year old it would have a hard time even

popping into the top 100 for its keywords. Now you can see things moved in

quite a bit different direction. You can get a site competing in an aged niche

just as easily as long as the content fits properly and in a much shorter

time (3-8 months as apposed to a full year minimum in certain cases). I do

agree and see authority as a big issue though. Fortunately authority can be

replicated and pushed. I did a post awhile back calledthat talked about ways

to push authority and get a brand new site to compete in highly competitive

niches. I think improving your automated content plays a big part in

that.Google is starting to move away from being a search engine toward being

a content host. How do you see this affecting the future of spamming

Google?Absolutely. There is a breaking point in Google becoming a content

host, which I‘m certain is their overall goal. As long as they can reward

the contributors with increased traffic to their site (ie. -negative

rankings..above the top listing like with google base products) people will

be willing to donate content to them. I for one will testify that Google Base

is very difficult to spam on a mass level as apposed to their search. This

is due to the fact that they have a very good hands on antispam team and their

content levels are low enough for human checks to be possible. The way I see

it is, as their content hosting efforts increase, so will the possibilities

for spamming them on a mass scale. It‘s just a matter of time. Until then,

I limit my spamming of them at a level just below getting caught. At the moment,

unlike Adsense, their multiaccount banning capabilities are very well done

and to be frank it works out well for them. Their content is very good and

in all objectiveness very well kept as far as spam goes.I have never done

much overtly black hat SEO. I was not good at programming when I got on the

web and after I had been online for a few years I decided to try to build

things that can grow logarthimically. Can black hat techniques grow

logarthmically? Do you have any strong branded sites to stabelize your income

if the black hat streams come and go? How many different website marketing

techniques do you use at any given time?With beautiful domains like and

theres no doubt in my mind you have a nack for predicting the next big things

in the industry. If I were you I wouldn‘t bother with black hat either. You

obviously got it made with the skills you already have. I do preach a lot

about programming and building sites through autogeneration. In fact a lot

of people consider my style Code SEO. I have quite a few very high profile

sites, you‘ve probably heard of them and they do bring in good money but I

don‘t ever really talk about them. I like to diversify my investments because

not every investment is solid. As far as my blackhat network goes it is

actually as solid as it gets. It‘s very rare when a black hat site of mine

gets banned and if you saw one unless you have a really well trained eye you‘d

probably have a very hard time knowing it was black hat. Thats just part of

the investment though. The more legit you can make things appear while

autogenerating it the more income you can squeeze out of it in a site‘s

lifecycle.What is the longest timeframe you have seen an overt black hat site

rank for in the various engines? How much have the lifespans of these types

of sites changed over the past 5 years?I think the lifespans of black hat

sites increase as your skillsets increase. I have some black hat networks

that are still around now and bringing in income and gosh I don‘t even remember

when I made them. Thats also why I talk a lot of "hosted black hat

sites" on orphan subdomains and such. Like in my. They really help when

making the obvious ones stick. I usually stick to the rule of thumb, if you

can mimic the footprints of white hat sites and minimize the footprints of

blackhat sites than theres no reason why they shouldn‘t last forever. Search

engines can only ban a footprint that no legitimate sites use. So if you‘re

interested in starting blackhat, as long as you stick by that principle you‘ll

be just fine as far as investments go.Are there some markets that are too

competitive for automated marketing? How do you do successful black hat SEO

in hypercompetitive markets like mortgage or insurance?I don‘t personally

compete in competitive black hat dominated markets, like you mentioned

mortgages and pharmaceuticals and such. I feel a little more secure with my

black hat sites roaming around the longtailed phrases and localities. It‘s

just a matter of putting in the extra effort which in those cases I‘m too

set in my ways to sit down and accomplish. I know several people who do strictly

that and make a very good living, but I personally have no strong opinions

on the matter. So I leave those markets to the pros and if I want to get

competitive I use my white hat sites to do it.Do you do much client work?

Have any AdSense sites? Do you mostly rely on affiliate commissions? Have

any infoproducts or more tools coming out? What business model do you see

as the best source of growth for established SEOs? What segment do you think

looks best for new webmasters?I‘ve never done any client or paid SEO work.

I couldn‘t imagine a worse form of hell to be honestI do answer a lot of

questions privately though, or at least as many as I have time for. I have

lots of adsense sites. I do mostly affiliate marketing and CPC, but I‘ve spent

a couple years of my career building actual ecommerce sites. Other than

additions to SQUIRT I really don‘t have any new webmaster related products

coming out. I had a few ideas I set into motion but it may be a looong time

before they actually come around. I would like to do more though, but I‘m

afraid of spreading myself too thing. Internet Marketers as I‘m sure you‘re

well aware of can be very demanding of ones sanity. When it comes to business

models though I wrote a post called SEO Empire. It is MY business model. I‘ve

always wanted to write a detailed article on web investments and that‘s

probably as close as it comes to making me happy.Given the offline

macroeconomic trends and trends online what high growth markets do you think

are currently less competitive than they should be?Well of course I‘d have

to couple trademarked markets into that group, such as myspace, facebook,

digg and such. As long as they are working hard to knock down the big boys

in the coattailing markets theres always room for new growth. The biggest

market I see right now that no one has yet to figure out a good way of

capitalizing on is web episodes and webtv. Theres sites like tv-links and

other show specific sites that give out streaming episodes of tv shows and

movies that are in constant danger of copyright infringement and being shut

down by their hosts. More often than not these types of sites get more traffic

than they can handle very quickly just because they are in such high demand.

Even just putting up a simple site for a small anime type show with all the

current episodes available to stream can drive thousand of visitors a day

within a month or two of being brand new. The only problem the industry has

to figure out is how to keep from getting shut down and attacked constantly.

This just goes in line with a theory I‘ve started pushing my own company

towards quite a few years ago that television and the Internet are

increasingly having an effect on each other.You seem to be quite outspoken

about there being many scams and a lot of hype in the SEO market, complete

with A lists and all that sort of stuff. Do you ever see these trends changing?

Are these niche specific, or just a reflection of general social structures

that cross all lands and industries?Yeah thats definitely a topic I feel very

passionately about. I think scams and hype only exist where theres

opportunity. Our industry just happens to have a ton of opportunities for

it to flourish. I just try to do my part, step up the plate and make a

difference. I take it to a bit of an extreme though by attempting to cover

the Advanced SEO topic which is kind of like the Antarctica of SEO, most know

its there but how many have actually seen it talked about? The reality is,

all I‘m doing is making changes by example. I‘m saying this is how I want

SEO blogs to be like, the spirit can be applied to just about any aspect of

our industry including newbie material. Persistently, instead of using the

success of it to promote myself or advertisers I use it to promote other

likeminded blogs. Many small blogs have made it big and exploded over night

just by showing they have what it takes by writing a guest post on Blue Hat

and getting it published. Thats where I‘m seeing this trend go every day.

I really don‘t think it‘ll be very much longer before the bloggers that work

torwards being helpful start really showing that they are truly taking over.

You can see the gurus that establish their expertise by bragging rather than

showing are starting to slope and decline to make room for those that are

mimicking the helpful spirit. It‘s just a matter of time and I think it‘ll

come faster than people imagineI am new to online marketing…what books,

articles, blog posts, and blogs should I start reading?Lol, ass kissing aside,

i really do send nearly all new people to the industry that talk to me to

SEOBook. SEO book gives it out clearly and explains the stuff they need to

know. Everywhere else tends to be flooded with bait and switch tactics and

misinformation that leads them to the exact opposite direction they should

be going. Not only is it a good resource but it‘s miles ahead of the other

blogs and books trying to attract "offer fillers." <- my

affectionate term for John Chow readers (my words not Aarons). I also like

several blogs where the writer is not only talented but is also in the thick

of the industry just like his/her readers and trying to make his way. For

instancedoes a great job candidly talking about his experiences and what he‘s

learning at the moment. He‘s also cool enough to share his sites with you.

A great step from there might be the latewhere the new writer and past talk

about nice little techniques that range anywhere from intermediate to

advanced and are always a great read. Also can‘t go without mentioning and.I

am new to the web…when should I consider quiting my job to be a full time

marketer/webmaster? What are the biggest attributes I need to succeed online

in today‘s market.By all means please eat. Three out of every four projects

I develop fail overall. As a new person to the business expect to do much

worse, so make sure to take care of yourself first and the business second.

The added stress of having to pay bills while developing your business only

escalates the toll off the inevitable failures that await you. Thats the

beauty of the Internet business. hehe don‘t just dive into a pool without

checking the water first. You can get started without a $100k+ startup cash

and tons of risk. You‘ll still have to work just as hard as any other business

startup, you just have the luxury of being capable of starting small. The

only quicksand you‘ll run into is the myth that you can make money in your

spare time. Many often figure out, who actually has SPARE time? You have to

treat it just like a regular job. Make smart investments in both time and

money. Build and escalate until your other job starts to phase out. When you

can finally answer both of these questions with a yes you should be good to

quit your day job. 1) Does your day job earnings supplement your online

earnings? (or is it visa versa). 2) If you suddenly got sick and were taken

away from your online work for three months, would you come back to a business

that has grown?What is the best keyword you have ever ranked for? What is

the best keyword you ever ranked for using almost nothing but automated

mareting free content?Should have specified a time frame, but since you didn‘t

we‘ll go old schoolAt one time or another in my career: Music, MP3, Downloads,

Freeware, Real Estate, Games, WWW, Homes, Pamela Anderson, Internet, Bikini,

Sites and College.No, sad to say I don‘t have any sites that still rank for

any of those terms.But I still do have some very competitive phrases amongst

my sites today, they just can‘t compete with some of the million dollar ones

from back in the day when SEO was relatively new.Have you ever felt a search

engineer was lying about something? If so, have you ever called them out on

it?I think we‘re being lied to about nofollow. Consider this the call outIt

seems as though large branded sites are able to get away with far more than

smaller newer websites can. What tools or features would you like to see search

engines make available to help level the playing field? Do you think search

engines are more focused on relevancy or profit?I think they‘re focused on

profit through relevancy, and currently they attempt to accomplish that with

authority factors. The playing field isn‘t level because its designed not

to be. I honestly wouldn‘t want it to become level and fair. I kind of see

it as "I don‘t have to outrun the bear, I only have to outrun you."Do

you ever see search losing some of its importance? What might replace

it?Webmasters set the pace the web, they always have. What‘s important to

the webmasters becomes important to the users. It was the webmasters that

made Google, MSN, and Yahoo important not the other way around. Just

throughout history, the moment webmasters quit caring about something it

becomes obsolete and forgotten by everyone within no time, the opposite is

also true. It‘s entirely possible that search will lose its importance. I

don‘t see it happening anytime soon, but if the average webmaster gets

frustrated enough with them and a good alternative comes out I‘m sure it won‘t

take very long from that point before its gone. A good way for them to begin

that process might be to hand pick a couple sites like wikipedia and have

them conquer every single result…oh wait.Do you ever see Google losing their

dominance? What might replace them?Going along with the above question, there

was a short time in Google‘s history right before Matt Cutts and Webmaster

Guidelines/Tools where they started becoming very secretive about their

algorithm and lost nearly all contact with webmasters outside of a submit

url button. During that time a whole multitude of search engines and creative

forms of search started popping up like crazy. It was like there was a new

one almost every day. Some were really fun to play around with. None really

had both the form and function that would of inspired a permanent switch for

me, but it goes to show how easy it is and I doubt Google will make that mistake

again.Do you feel domains names have large synergies with SEO? I am currently

not using the domain names and to their full potential. What do you think

I should do with them? What would you do with them if you owned them?I think

domains are a very large factor in SEO and I don‘t think many will disagree.

I was always curious about those domains of yours Aaron. They‘re awesome.

I‘m sure you get asked 10 times a day to sell them. Why not throw up forums

on them or even mashups? I understand your underuse of them though, I‘d be

all excited to get them but then I‘m certain a hard reality would hit and

I‘d come up blank for what to actually do with them. I personally would love

to some day see an AskABlank SEO site. I‘m sure you‘ve seen the format before,

its like Ask A Midget(hypothetical, don‘t go searching for it). Then people

get to submit questions and the midget answers and it gets posted publically

covering various topics, but with SEO. An idea?Why BlueHatSEO? Why not another

word/color?Completely, 100% random. I‘m not even fond of the color Blue, Green

is my fav. If you‘ve ever noticed, the site is extremely generic. Default

WordPress template, No SEO, no link building (never even done a link

exchange), no link bait, no nofollow tags, no submissions to social sites,

no promoting…absolutely nothing from the very beginning. Very very -by- all

definition and to the core… pure white hat. I did it intentionally to make

a point. Interesting Trivia For Ya: Can you name the ONE other popular SEO

blogger that has also done it? Minus maybe the ridding of nofollow

tags.—Thanks Eli. Be sure to check out his blog at.,Well it’s been a

busy and crazy week but I’ve finally got some time to tell you all about

my 3 Days in London attendingand of course the awesomewhich included theand

is a new way of storing, sharing, and publishing files on the internet.I would

however like to make some suggestions for improvements, mainly on the after

a few others agreed that some music would have been nice to go along with

that disco ball they Club had, along with some food/nibbles as it was dinner

time by then…Other than that it was pretty good, I’ll be sure to be

checking out each and every site/service/product in more detail. By the way

might at last be asked to fork over some money. A new rumor has indicated

that Hulu will begin testing a subscription service next month, and that the

monthly fee attached to this service will be a not-inconsiderable $9.95.spoke

to "people with knowledge of the plans," and reported afterward

that the experiment could begin as soon as May 24th.With regards to the

specifics, they then continued, "Under the proposal, Hulu would continue

to provide for free the five most recent episodes of shows like Fox‘s ‗Glee,‘

ABC‘s ‗Lost‘ or NBC‘s ‗Saturday Night Live.‘ But viewers who want to see

additional episodes would pay $9.95 a month to access a more comprehensive

selection, called Hulu Plus . . ."Reactions to this idea haven‘t been

too positive so far. Some people say they have no need to watch anything beyond

a show‘s five most recent episodes (they just use Hulu to catch the occasional

missed installment), and so call the plan pointless. Others are flat-out

opposed to the idea of paying for the content, and would rather go the piracy

route.It‘s probably important to note, then, that Hulu turned a profit in

the fourth quarter of 2009 and the first quarter of this year, meaning the
