Ten movies streaming across that, that Internet, and what happens to your own personal Internet? Who could forget the Series of Tubes analogy by Ted Stevens from back in 2006? The Internet is not something that you just dump something on. It’s not a big truck. It’s a series of tubes. And if you don’t understand, those tubes can be filled and if they are filled, when you put your message in, it gets in line and it’s going to be delayed by anyone that puts into that tube enormous amounts of material, enormous amounts of material. Don’t forget when you’re building a PBN, that you’re going to put something into a tube and your message will get...
I’m sure you’ve read about it, and were as surprised as I was to learn that No Hat Digital had 40% of their supermassive private blog network hit by Google. It’s important that we take notice of what has happened to NHD, and ensure we’re leaving anything to chance. So, let’s take a closer look at what Greg has revealed about their network and find the takeaway lesson. A Google algorithm, or were NHD targeted? No Hat Digital aren’t exactly backwards in coming forwards that they build PBNs. Check out a few of their blog posts or listen to the podcasts they’ve been featured on…NHD are clearly quite public about their private blog network(s). So on that basis, I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that Google had their own intern track NHD down and sniff them out. Of course, that’s just the conspiracy theorist in me coming out! Let’s take a look at what Greg tells us about the NHD private blog network, and what was hit: 8 networks with over 600 domains combined: Firstly, wow! An average of 75 domains per network? The first thing which stands out to me is how massive each network is. Or should I say, how massive each network was? 3 of 8 networks. Now with 37.5% slapdown! Greg makes reference to 3 of their 8 networks, and then states: 1 network has been completed deindexed 1 network had “a handful” of sites lost 1 wasn’t touched at all. Wait – isn’t that 2 out of 8? I think the 3rd network Greg refers to is one of the five networks that weren’t hit. More than one third of their entire network has been...
How often do you check your web analytics? And what does it really mean? I check my sites daily, but I tend to look only at the total visitors for the past month, which is a rolling average figure – as opposed to last 24 hours, which is highly volatile. If the figure is higher than I saw last, I’m always happy! What do you look...
