Major site news from ExposedSEO: As some of you may know, Ilya has been getting out of the SEO game, so he has relinquished control of the site and I’m now running it. My name is J. Katz, you can call me J., JK, JMoney, or J$. Whatever. I have been making a full time living online through a variety of websites for a few years now. I run a very popular blog as well as many other money making affiliate marketing based sites. A more in-depth About Me page will follow at some point.

Here’s what you can expect to see going forward on Exposed SEO: first of all- posts! This place has been on life support for the last year, now you can expect new posts semi-regularly. The type of posts will be similar- I will give you more inside tips and information on how to make money online and just like the previous posts, this will be straightforward information without all the bull and pushy affiliate sales you see on other sites. I will let you know what has worked for me in the past and let you in on things that I’m trying out now.

This site will NOT become a plug the product of the day type site. The goal of this site will be to help you make money, not strictly to make me money. If I drop an affiliate link in, it will be because I think it will help YOU or I’ll tell you why it’s not helpful or BS and still drop the affiliate link in 8). Either way, I won’t be pushing products just to make sales. I have other sites to do that on. Right now I’m looking to spread the word and grow this site in popularity, so tell a friend. I’m not afraid to call it like I see it and true to the “exposed” name of the site will be exposing both good and bad SEO choices.

Other new stuff here: nested comments, so now you can reply directly to another comment! This should help to keep discussions lively and easier to follow. Please comment frequently and let us know what you think, commenters are the lifeblood of this site. Exposed SEO is also now on Twitter (the account is brand new right now, the plan is to start putting some links and quick thoughts that don’t warrant a full post here). If you scroll down slightly, on the left of each post you’ll see social sharing floating widget, if you want to retweet or share any posts (please do!). The site has had a redesign to a new WordPress theme, it’s still a bit of a work in progress as far as design goes- it needs a header for starters.

So thanks for staying with us, and look for some new posts in the next few days.

Wow! Almost half a year went past since my last post. Time flies so quickly. Hope you guys been good. A few of you have been genuinely worried about me so I thought I would post a quick update.

I’m doing pretty good. The reason why I have not posted in such a long time is because my game has somewhat changed. I no longer have any need for SEO and therefore I had little interest in it. In fact I stopped paying any attention to SEO nor any of the news related to it. I should really ask you guys if I missed anything interesting. I pretty much just buy traffic from various sources and drive it to my little pages monetized in 3 different ways simultaneously (CPA, PPI and Commission (Possibly 4 ways with cookie stuffing I chose not to get involved in)). I wish I could go into more detail but it looks like I am the only person doing this at the moment and I really don’t need any competition because I will have no edge what so ever. Anyone can just copy me within a few hours and take half my pie. So yea, instead of the usual backlink bombardments I now spend most of my time  in this chair brainstorming for ideas while unleashing my fury on a few squeezable stress toys.

When it comes to this blog I really don’t know what to do. It’s unlikely that I will be able to make interesting posts consistently (Unless I start going off on a bit of a tangent and start blogging about random things in my life like owning noobs at BFBC2 and learning how to play my new piano I just bought). It might be a good idea to invite some guest bloggers however I’m not sure I want them to start plugging links left right and centre. From day one this was a not for profit blog and I never really tried to sell you anything. The only time I plugged my affiliate links was when they were relevant to my post, not the other way around. So let me know if you have any ideas about the future of this blog.

First of all I would like to say sorry for the lack of updates. I have had to make a few really important decisions and with increasing amount of work, blogging was not on my priorities list.

I’ve decided that I will not be continuing with my university degree. Instead I will concentrate on my online ventures and continue doing what I was doing full time. There were a number of things that influenced my decision. First of all I did not feel like I was learning anything, in fact, most of the time I was the one sharing most up to date information. Secondly, I just could not see myself doing anything with my degree. Especially when you are expected to fork out all these money in order to get there. (If you don’t remember I was doing Internet Management and Web Design)

In general things have been good. The minute I set my mind to work and my decision was out of the day I started breaking daily revenue records one after another. I am currently concentrating on CPA and ClickBank marketing although after meeting some very talented people we have been playing with an idea of launching a startup. I will keep you updated on that if we do go ahead with it.

I went ahead and removed some of my previous blog posts. The post about Linkbucks was way too cheap. I don’t know what I was thinking. Nobody should lower themselves to the level of earning pennies for spamming links. I would rather teach you some real marketing. Secondly there was a post about Revtwt. Now it looks like these guys are going downhill so don’t bother with them either.

There have been some interesting developments with nofollow links. As you remember I always said that nofollow links still helped you rank better for your keywords. Even though I had some proof, most people remained sceptical. Maybe I will blog about that next and tell you some interesting things Google has been recently saying about nofollow linkage.

Meanwhile, I hope I still have some readers left and I’ll be bloging for you guys soon

Hey guys! Sorry for not posting more frequently. I was simply out of interesting things to blog about. If you want me to blog about something please let me know. I am also more than happy to accept guest blog posts. So if you want to write an interesting article related to SEO or marketing do let me know. As a thank you I will link to your blog from your article.

Now the updates… Remember the 35mm slide scanner blog from my previous niche research post? You should now be able to find it on the front page of Google for related keywords, generating me $xx daily which is much more than I have expected. Some of you wondered why I did not develop that blog any further. If I was to take that blog seriously I would have never shared my niche in public. It was just an example to get you started with niche research/bloging and show you what my blogs actually look like. As it always happens some not so creative people went ahead and entered the same niche with their own clones. I really don’t understand why people do this. I clearly explained the niche research process but instead of finding their own, they simply copy. Do they not understand that if they decide to copy my blog then others will probably do the same…

CPAlead experiment was ruined by CPAlead taking 10 days to figure out that there was nothing wrong with my account after disabling it for no reason. I am back with CPAlead but because I am already making money I would not be able to clock $0 to $100, especially after touching that $100 mark.

It looks like Google has also de-spanked me for selling links and given me some PR. It only took them a year and a half. The funny thing is that my Google traffic actually dropped. So I have now proven the opposite. Google sent me more traffic when my PR was none existent (Not even 0 but NA). Now it gave me PR2 and cut the traffic. Yet again its proven that PR means nothing.
