First off, I apologize for not posting recently. That’s 100% my bad. So here’s a few updates and onto today’s tips and concepts.

Here’s the update for my EPN experiment. First I’m going to say this, I made a stupid move and got them de-index’d (GOOGLE ONLY!!!). What does this mean? I’ll tell you what I did wrong so I don’t do it again.

Not too shabby, eh? The reason that they got deindex’d was I didn’t throw any backlinks to the subdomains what-so-ever. I’m starting to now to see if they’ll get re-included (which is possible), especially since a manual review of these sites will pass.

Now for the concept of black hat skillz on white hat buildz. One of the biggest tools in a BHSEO’s is his or her tools. Everyone knows that. Let’s start using these same tools and concepts in a whitehat way to benefit the sites legitly. Let’s take a SERP scraper for example.

Using the right footprint for wordpress blogs, you can easily get a list of 1000 comment-ready pages from blogs. This can be used easily for comment and/or trackback spam. However it can also be used for whitehat use as well.

Or another example would be the trackback spam. Yes, this is still blackhat, but it simulates reinforcing link growth. Example: drop 5 links per day to a new domain, on day 10 drop 50, 11 drop 150, 12 drop 300, etc. Exponential growth from blogs (and yes, Google is Footprinting) will simulate a viral release. Natural ranking bonus? Possibly.

Use this as a base to look at the tools you have and figure out a way to use them on legit sites. Scrapers can be used for whitehat, blackhat and everything between. Make smart decissions and find multiple uses for your tools; after all its all about the ROI isn’t it?
