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.

Staying anonymous with TOR.

There is no need to buy expensive IP hiding programs nor filter through thousands of proxies when you have TOR. TOR (Onion rooter) works similar to p2p sharing. However instead of sharing files, you are directing data packets from one computer to another. If you were to examine these packets of data at any point you would not be able to tell where it came from and where its going. This might sound complicated but in reality TOR has been made very easy to use.

Download the most recent stable version and install it. Launch TOR and make sure privoxy is running as well. Then install a TOR Button for your FireFox browser. After restarting the browser double click the red “Tor disabled” button at the bottom of FireFox so that it turns green and you are ready to go.

Check your IP address here. It should now be different. You can always change your identity again by opening tor and requesting a new one.

The best thing about TOR is its usability. Any kind of program that uses proxies can go via TOR and stay anonymous. Whether you are using some kind of blackhat pinger or a social submitter simply put 127.0.0.1:8118 as a proxy whenever the program asks you to. Happy anonymous browsing!

Negative PR is still PR.

Did you know that according to the study carried out a few years ago an average unhappy customer would tell 10 of their friends about their negative experience. These friends will in their turn tell around 5 more people. If you leave enough of your customers angry with your product/service you will pretty much start a negative viral boom. This can often considerably damage your business to the point of you going bankrupt. Nobody would want this to happen to them. Or would they?

When it comes to backlinks there is no such thing as a negative backlink. If I point to Live search with Live search sucks I will only be giving it a boost in terms of seo. This is in fact very similar to what has happened to me. Do you remember my post on generating money with Freecycle? Have a look at some of the comments. When writing that blog post I had no idea what a can of warms I was opening. I ended up causing an absolute outrage within Freecycle community. They were so disgusted with my blog that they would go around telling everyone about my shameless money generating method. At one point I had so much traffic coming in I thought about turning the Wordpress supercache on. Best of all however, every time they were mentioning my “terrible” blog on various forums, blogs and social networks… you guessed it! I was getting a backlink.

PS: I’m sorry Freecycle but I promised myself there will be no subject no matter how controversial, that I would not cover on my blog.

The website is down!

This video just made my day so I thought I would share it with you. Whether you are a system administrator or just a regular user you should find it hilarious!

New domain name craze is about to start

Have you ever thought about going back in time? Have you ever though about what it would be like if you were to buy a bunch of popular domain names lets say 14-20 years ago? You would most likely be a very rich man by now. Business.com sold for $7.500.000 back in 1999. Sex.com on the other hand raised over $14.000.000 a few years ago. Don’t you wish you knew this 20 years ago?

According to this BBC article you may soon have a second chance to grab yourself a unique domain name as Icann (Net regulator) decides to broaden the horizons and allow even more domain name extensions to come to live. Looks like it is going to be a gradual process however we may see more and more extensions becoming available in near future. Could one of them turn you into a millionaire? I guess we will wait and see.

PS: I am selling a 125px by 125px banner spot on the top right for $120/6 months rather than usual $300, so grab one now. This offer ends on Friday.

My way of generating revenue with BANS (Build a niche store)

A few people have asked me about my experience with BANS (Build a niche store) the other day so I thought the rest of the readers might also find this interesting.

BANS is pretty much everything you need in order to set up your own niche website, assuming that you already have hosting and $8 for a domain name. This neat little script is designed around Ebay partnership network (EPN) and comes ready for pretty much any advertising CPC/Affiliate network you are with.

Once you have installed BANS you pretty much just pick an Ebay category (Or your niche) from the list, fill in all the details eg Title, meta tags, Clickbank ID etc and you are ready to go. This really does take minutes to set up.

I know some people spend hours every day promoting their BANS sites but I simply did not have all this time so I went for a lazy approach. Here is what I did:
