Get Links and Traffic – Black Hat SEO Method
“I know many books which have bored their readers, but I know of none which has done real evil” - Voltaire, French Philosopher, 1694-1778
Right of the bat I would like to say that I don’t recommend using this black hat seo method of getting links and traffic to anyone. This post as well as all others in the Black Hat SEO category in this blog are only for observational purposes.
In this post I will talk about a black hat SEO approach that has worked for the past 5 years and it’s working and more alive than ever today. This is mostly due to increase in various social networking sites which made the information spread much faster than 5 years ago (it’s insane). This is not a quick black hat SEO fix that gets a site banned after some short sparks of traffic. This is a time and effort consuming approach that requires some creativity to get links and traffic. The result is what every bad boy wants – money.
Ok, let’s grab our snuggies and get to it.

Top 7 – The Most Important Job Interview Questions
Have you ever been to the job interview and didn’t know what to answer when asked some important questions?
When you have been invited to a job interview, you have to prepare for the questions you will be asked. This is the absolute must – no ifs, ands, or buts.
Although the interviewer will be improvising to some degree, there are questions that have high probability of being asked. This being said, the better you prepare – the more natural and confident you will behave during the job interview process.
Scientists have put together over 500 questions that are usually asked during the job interview process. Turns out it all comes down to only 5-7 important questions and some additional clarifying ones, depending on the job description and requirements.

How to tell if the Link is Clean?
“If you tell the truth you don’t have to remember anything.” – Mark Twain, 1835-1910
Have you ever wandered about linking and it’s role in Search Engine Optimization (SEO)?
Link exchange and increasing the link count to your site is one of the most important components of SEO. Large number of inbound links has a positive effect on the rendering of your site in the search engine results, increases PageRank and therefore is a must have. However, search engine systems only count so called clean links, or in other words links that are allowed to be indexed. These clean links do not have nofollow or noindex attributes, they and are not blocked by the robots.txt, and they do not have the JavaScript redirection.
This being said, when exchanging links with other resources, buying links, submitting site or site info to random SEO and non-SEO resources, make sure that the link is not denied indexing. Let’s talk about 4 fundamental recommendations below.

SEO Submission Catalogs – Fresh List, PR4-8
There is a lot of talk in the SEO community about site submission, blog submission, and so on. Some people even think it’s cool to submit a site somewhere. Reality is submission is not always good, and sometimes can have a negative effect on your SEO, especially if you submit your site to spammy, low-level sites.
There are some sites however, that are very useful to have your blog submitted to. Your PageRank, Alexa Rank, SERP, and as a result the flow of traffic to your site will grow after the quality submission.
Of course for a successful and effective SEO submission by itself is not enough. You will need a list of methods and tactics that we have, are, and will discuss in this blog. Site submission is a very important step that needs a careful attention. A quality site submission allows you to get your site free links that will be permanent and you will not have to pay for them monthly (this is when you buy links, I don’t recommend it, since it’s for the weak). Keep in mind, you need the link mass to grow, the more quality links the better (the word quality is the most important one here).
