I feel like every year, making money on the internet via standard site building is getting harder and harder. Google is getting more sophisticated each year, creating a higher barrier to entry for effective SEO compared to a few years ago. Basic niches for beginners are also getting...

I know you can load up on private proxies and pingers, but what do people use to get a moderate amount of links indexed (say 100-1000)? Are sites like pingdevice, bulkping, etc. effective for link indexing? Are they also safe/reputable? I don't understand why anyone would offer a free public...

If you leave a provider iTrader reputation and they don't reciprocate, is it considered rude to ask them to do so? I imagine that some of the big providers are busy and don't care about it anyways, but it kind of sucks for newbs trying to build up reputation. I don't want to bug them, though.

A lot of the beginner guides (okay, sometimes, the "guru" ebooks as well) tell you to go after niches with low competition, as defined by keyword research, etc. When does it make sense to fight for SEO and when to look for new ground? The top ten results for a lot of moderate competition (<50k...

Is it stupid to outsource all the real work? Research a niche. Pay the best writer at BST for quality content and LSI. Pay the best designer at BST for an SEO/monetized template. Pay the best SEO service at BST for keyword rankings. Add money links/strategy. Wait a a few months for links to get...
