About Exposed SEO

In this blog I will be sharing some of my seo and marketing techniques as well as some of my random seo ramblings. Most of the methods I will be talking about have been personally tested and have been proven to work. I can't say this blog is strictly white hat seo. Just because some ideas are unethical and extremely black hat, does not mean we should not discuss them. I hope you enjoy my blog. Don't forget to bookmark and subscribe :)


About me

Hey! My name is Ilia and welcome to my blog! I am 22 years of age, 7 of which I've spent working for myself. I've had a lot of success with seo and Internet marketing. I've achieved a number of highly competitive rankings, driven millions of organic visitors every month and generated thousands of dollars in revenue. Now I'm here to share some of my experience with you.

Generating unique content for free

For one reason or another you might need to generate a bunch of original content or even articles. This can be a time consuming process. Obviously there are various re-writers you can use but most of them don’t work as well as you want them to work as well as setting you back a few hundred dollars.

You can quickly re-write chunks of text using Google translators. Simply copy and paste the text you want to rewrite and translate it the following way:

English ==> Spanish ==> German ==> Russian ==> English

You should end up with the same meaning but different wording and therefore look unique in the eyes of search engines. You might want to quickly (more…)

Why I run multiple websites rather than just one.

1) I have spare server capacity which means that whenever I feel like starting a new website all I need is a domain name. At a few bucks per year there is nothing to worry about financially.

2) It is much easier to get your website to generate you $5/day than $50/day. You can then repeat the process 10 times and end up earning $50 relatively easy.

3) A lot of websites does not always mean a lot of work. I have a network of automated blogs that generate their own content automatically and even bookmark themselves in various social bookmarking sites. I also have 3 directories that I have not touched for around 2 years. Despite the lack of attention they still generate me a few dollars every week.

4) I don’t like putting too many eggs in one basket. I like to have many revenue streams as well as sources of traffic. If something goes horribly wrong I should be able to minimize the damage.

5) Search engines like mature domains. Therefore you website should naturally go up in value as it gets older. Throw in a few easy backlinks and 3 or so months later you will have PR. One hour of work and after a bit of waiting you can sell your unwanted site for at least 10 times the cost of original domain.

6) I get bored easily. During my working day I like to switch from one task to another. Working on a few projects at a time actually keeps me productive.

7) Websites with a revenue history go up in value. If your websites generates you $50/month for half a year you should be able to sell it for 12 x monthly revenue = $600. Therefore I have a whole bunch of these little money earners who I can always sell on.

8 ) I can manipulate traffic by redirecting it from a number of websites to a certain landing page or to kick start a new project. The same can be done with backlinks even though you might want to be careful interlinking your websites. Don’t make it look like a link farm.

How I tweak my Firefox

One thing I find very annoying are fixed size windows not designed for firefox. I would spend 5 minutes filling in some long form just to find out that submit button sank bellow the frame and I can’t resize the window. To fix this problem you can tap in about:config into your firefox address bar and hit enter to open a very secret configuration menu.
firefox
Type “resize” into filter and you should end up with “dom.disable_window_move_resize”. Double click the value so that it says “false”. You should now be able to resize any window.

Sometimes I need to limit the amount of RAM firefox eats. Filter “capacity” so that you end up with “browser.cache.memory.capacity”. Then change the value to something a bit smaller. I usually halve my value until I am happy with performance.

Have you ever closed a tab by an accident and lost all your work? You can restore your session when your browser crashed but not when you close it by an accident. You will never lose your work again. Simply filter “startup” and change the value of “browser.startup.page” to 3. Next time you start firefox, instead of going to your homepage it will automatically restore the last page you were viewing as well as the data contained on that page. Obviously be careful with this one. If you were looking at something naughty you might not want your kids to accidental restore that page.

PS: Top commentators is back guys :D

A few quick updates

Have a look at “About me” in the header. Can you see anything different? That’s right! It no longer says I am 21 :D I will be turning 22 in 7 hours time. Little did I know, my friends have prepared a surprise for me. I was given a day to pack my bags and grab my passport before they kidnap me and take me to some unknown location. This is going to be crazy! I would therefore like to apologize in advance about the blog competition. I have already picked the winners but it might take me a few days to recover from my birthday, chase everyone down, give out the prizes and make a blog post.

My new social seo project is almost ready. Its the matter of designing a quality theme, which should be done some time next week.

Top commentators plugin has been disabled due to wide spread abuse. I don’t mind sharing some link love but some people just took this too far. As a compensation the seo project I mentioned above should provide you with plenty of backlinks when it is finished.

I have also been granted access to Woopra which is ever so amusing. I can now see what people actually do on this blog, where they come from and I can even chat to them by popping a chat window. I will probably go into more detail some time soon.

You can also buy me a birthday drink here. I like to pay for my own drinks but because so many people insisted they buy me one on this special occasion, I could not say no. You should however donate to children in need instead. They need this money more than I do.
