@ Mike…sorry about the lag time between your comment and my response (I don’t get here as much). You should be fine. I have lessened my stance on obfuscating identity since this post. One of the biggest barriers you can build is out content or out link your competitors. Works every time.

First off, this is an AMAZING blog, thank you for taking time to teach those of us who are new.

My question regards hosting strategies. You mention hiding behind multiple IPs. I’m currently in the market to upgrade my hosting and was looking into getting an entry level VPS that comes with 4 IP addresses- I’m going to venture a guess that these are likely not on separate IP blocks. I know I can add more IPs to my plan, but from what I understand there is no guarantee these will be on separate blocks either unless you wait between orders. So I guess my REAL question is: Is this sufficient protection, or is it better to just open multiple shared hosting accounts?

Thanks!!

@ Andy

I have kind of softened my stance on personas since writing this. While you could “lose” by displaying everything you are doing, you can also intimidate another marketer if you have tons of content….after all, the barrier or dip becomes trying to compete with someone or a site with hundreds of thousands of pages.

I pretty much write my own content at the present moment but sometimes will outsource content if I need something really quick. The best advice I can give you on outsourcing writing is that once you find a writer you like, stick with them and let them have first dibs at any work you want to have done. Building relationships with people you do business with can go a super long way…

Interesting post.. and website. This is the first post I came across and there’s no doubt I’ll be spending a lot, and I mean a LOT more hours here trying to absorb as many tips as I can.
This post rang a bell with me.. I think I’ve seen the person you are talking about but it was a while back and I didn’t stalk him long enough to remember his username. I do remember it was a niche one wouldn’t expect to do well but it appeared to be working well for him.

Anyhow, thanks for this post. I wasn’t aware I’ve been a little careless with my linking recently so this served as a wake up call to start using more aliases.

I have a question — I use freelancer.com for articles but would like to have more options.. is there another one you can recommend? Thanks!

@ Ben

Typically, I create personas that will cover a market. For instance, my DrAlex persona (on hubpages) deals with herbal and home remedies. I have a persona that deals with women issues and if a particular thing takes off, I will create a separate persona for that. I have a csv file in which I keep up with them. It really isn’t that hard. Currently, I have about 20 personas that I am active with.

Back to different personas – I am already lost among all my squidoo, hubpages etc…accounts and pages that I have so far. Is there an easy way to keep track, any tips ? And one more – do you track what is happening to your lower tier sites/pages or do you just build them, link them and forget about them?

Hey Mohammed….thanks and thank you. The lowest quality incoming links are links that you think may be suspect. The method is known as link laundering and yes, that is pretty much what you are doing as your tiers move further and further away from your authority site. As far as linking to my authority site, I do and the links don’t go to the home page but go internally to various pages. Sorry to take so long to answer. I rarely get on the internet to do anything other than business.

Hey Leo. This is a great article. I will surely be reading your other posts as I am pretty new to internet marketing and this is one of the best resources i’ve found! I wish I found it earlier. I have 2 questions though, 1) at the lowest tier where you refer to low quality incoming links, what types of links are these/how do I get them? My second question is, do you link all your highest tier pages (in the diagram above: squid, hub, squid) to your website? (your authority site?)

i stumbled this page in my laptop.. (i saved around 10 pages of this blog in the past which i used to make reference in the future). this is the post that i like the most but no give it a try. i had used several other methods in link building campaign but never use straight arrow link profile. i always obfuscate my links profile with hamiltonian method which deemed as really good bcz no one can solve NP-problem yet even google just can guesstimate (it involves mathematics which is my main field of study). but it’s too much hassle, hell lot of work too to be done. even i sometime loss in my own plan. btw, i never give shit writing/articles for my properties used for give links. well, i like to win in seo game, but ethic is unquestionable in my work philosophy. it’s win-win situation. regarding to link laundering technique (which is the real point that you want to tell others) that you use here, i doubt that you only use one straight link profile for each money page.
