Building blog farms for SEO

March 22nd, 2009

You must’ve heard about the large number of blog farms coming up. Many SEO webmasters have tens, hundreds and sometimes even thousands of blogs which they use mainly for SEO purposes. These networks of blogs are known as blog farms. The reason why I called them a network of blogs is because they all work like a network. To keep things short, a blog farm works something like this:

Let us suppose you are a Search Engine Optimizer. You have various clients with websites that you need to build some links for to get some link juice and to make them rank on search engines. If you own a blog farm, things become extremely easy. It goes something like this:

  1. You purchase 20 domains (maybe new/old, with/without PR etc.)
  2. Host all of these on Multiple C Class IPs else your blogs wouldn’t rank in Search Engines
  3. Build some links for these 20 blogs for a couple of months till they get a decent amount of PR and trust rank. In this while you also post unique content twice a week on each blog
  4. After 2 months, your blogs will be ranking in Search Engines well enough and each will have a decent PR. Now you interlink your blog to give them 19 more quality backlinks each - this would suddenly boost the search engine rankings of all blogs together
  5. Now at the end of this, you have 20 blogs all with nice PR and trust rank.

With this blog farm, as an SEO professional, you can use it to your advantage to make your job so much easier. Every time a client’s website comes in for SEO, you just post a few links across all your blogs and your job is done since anchor text would not be a problem (because you own each blog). 20 high PR backlinks with high PR could shoot the rankings of the website to the first position for semi-popular keywords.

I will be posting a detailed guide on building a blog farm very soon. So just keep an eye ;-)

I was just swimming across the DigitalPoint forums when I came across a post that linked to this:

102 Ways to make your blog a superstar

Link Building is one of the most important things when it comes to improving your rankings in Search Engines.
The post above mentions a list of 102 strategies you can use to build links to your website and give a boost to it’s rankings in the search engines.

It is an excellent post explaining every basic link building strategy in the book that newbies can comprehend. It simplifies each and every strategy explaining each little point in detail. Even a 14 yr old kid using a computer for the first time would come to know the ins and outs of link building after reading the post.

A must read, I say!

SEO Hosting is the best way for SEO

January 5th, 2009

Yep, that’s right.

SEO hosting is the best way to go for Search engine optimization. Now you may ask WHY?
Well, the answer is clear and simple, SEO hosting is extremely simple and convenient and also, very very effective. SEO hosting can deliver results that no other link building technique can.
SEO hosting can get you the same results, and possibly better, as companies that spend $2000 a month on link building.
SEO hosting is nothing but developing your own network of websites, hosting them on multiple c class ip addresses, and placing your backlinks on them. Backlinks on these websites will be considered extremely valuable and hence would give a major boost to your search engine rankings.

It might require a lot of initial effort to write up so many articles and build links for all your domains but once the domains get authority (with context to SEO), you just have to cake.
An initial investment of $500 would be enough to get you going. SEO hosting doesn’t have much maintenance cost either, so maintaining the websites wouldn’t be much of a hassle.

It is very easy to cover up the initial investment and make a nice profit off your websites each month by selling text links on them or hosting adsense ads over them.

The next time you’re thinking of building some backlinks to your website, think no further, just sign up for seo hosting and start building your blogs!

A nice way to start off would be a 5 C Class IP package for $20/mo from SEO-host.com

SEO-host.com is the cheapest provider and hence the best alternative.

Different C Class IP hosting is the newest and most effective link building strategy available at the moment.

How can SEO Hosting help improve rankings?

SEO Hosting improves rankings

You must have heard about SEO Hosting on SEO forum or online SEO community. Well, SEO Hosting is the talk of the town and the hottest topic for discussion these days on SEO discussion forums and communities. Due to the over-saturation of the internet because of being flooded with new websites day after day. Upcoming websites managed by webmasters mainly get their traffic from Search Engines. Search Engines are a major source of internet traffic since it helps drive thousands and thousands of visitors to websites daily. It is a very viable source of highly targeted web traffic to any particular website. The competition between competitors(owners of 2 websites) for a particular keyword (ranking highest in the SERPs for that keyword) sometimes becomes so intense that it actually becomes a cold war where each competitor is doing his best to increase his rankings in Search Engines while trying their best to bring the rankings of the competitor’s website down.It’s a mean world out there, “Survival of the strongest!”. To become the strongest on the web, webmasters go crazy trying to optimize their site for Search Engines and doing what it takes to bring their rankings up.

Building backlinks to your website is the most sure way of improving your rankings in a Search Engine. However, it is only the quality backlinks that really help in improving your rankings. It is a very difficult task to get hold of quality backlinks since backlinks of the highest quality are only those which are on other websites in your niche. Now, gettig your links on other websites in the same niche becomes fairly difficult since in some way or the other, they’re your competitors and you are theirs. Who would allow their competitors to have backlinks on their website? The backlinks on other websites in the same niche are valued higher than other backlinks because of something called “link popularity”. When the page your backlink is has content on it that is related to your keywords, that backlink is said to have high link popularity. To increase your link popularity, you need to get your backlinks upon websites in the same niche as yours, and this is extremely difficult.

To overcome this, webmasters started employing a new technique.They started building their own networks of websites and blog farms to assist them with the task of improving their link popularity. They would build blogs and websites about something in the same niche as their primary website. These websites and blogs would then be optimized for search engines, built backlinks for, worked upon to help improve their rankings in the search engines and then used for placing backlinks of the primary website. After these blogs and websites started ranking fine in the Search Engines and once they were given some weightage and value by search engines, backlinks of the primary website of the owner would then be placed across all these websites and blogs. These links would be given high value by Search Engines because they come from a website in the same niche as the primary website and hence the link popularity shoots sky high and rankings of the primary site in the search engines shoot through the roof.
This started becoming a very popular practice and every webmaster started employing it to increase the link popularity of their own websites. This is somewhat spam since it isn’t exactly “whitehat”. To combat this, Search engine filters developed a new technique to spot such type of spam and penalize the websites. Generally when a webmaster starts a blog farm or a website network for such a purpose, he would host all his websites on one server. Now the IP address of each of these websites would either be the same or very similar (from the same Class C of IPs.) When all these IPs belong to the same C Class, it is very obvious that the owner of all the websites is one and the same. This helps Search Engines track down entire networks of websites and blogs and penalize them.

Why SEO Hosting?

When many websites and blogs hosted in the same C Class of IPs are interlinked, it triggers of the Search Engine Spam Filters. The Spam Filter of the search engines automatically devalues the websites and this causes their rankings in Search Engines to plummet. It causes a major drop in inflow of traffic and visitors to the websites and this is not something any webmaster would want.

SEO Hosting

To overcome this difficulty, a new service called SEO hosting was introduced. SEO hosting is a service that enables webmasters to host their domains on IPs from different C Classes. Using SEO Hosting, webmasters can host each of their domain on a different IP coming from a different C Class of IPs. This is essential when they’re planning to run a website network interlinked within itself to help improve the rankings of the websites. Search engine spam filters would be able to track this down if the websites are hosted on IPs in the same IP range. To prevent their websites from being tracked down by search engine spam filters and prevent them from being penalized, webmasters use SEO Hosting. SEO hosting, also called multiple c class ip hosting is nothing but hosting your websites on the same server but on different IPs from seperate IP C Classes.

Had SEO Hosting not been there, webmasters would be left with no choice but to sign up with a number of different web hosting providers to maintain their blog farms and website networks. Since different web hosts have different servers and the IPs your websites would be hosted upon would belong to different C Classes, webmasters would have to use this technique. Imagine the amoount of chaos and confusion so much work would cause. Let us take an example, suppose you have 50 domains on which you want to start blogs to promote your website, you would have to:
1)Make a list of 50 different web hosts
2)Sign up with each individually to place your order
3)Record the login details to the control panel for 50 domains
4)Record the login details for the billing systems of 50 different web hosts(for invoice payments)
5)Pay invoices month after month for 50 different web hosts
6)Keep a track of each website individually to monitor server uptime. In case a particular website goes down, you must contact the host immediately to inform them about a problem. Also, recording the server uptime of each website would enable you to track down the hosts with too much server downtime so you can switch over to another host.
7)50 different hosting accounts would cost you a fortune. Even if you buy the cheapest packages from web hosts, on an average each account would cost you atleast about $10 per month. At $10/mo. an account, you’d be spending $500/month for running a blog farm or website network consisting of 50 blogs or websites. Imagine how expensive it would become since you’d have to spend some money on the building of these blogs/websites, getting writers to write content for you, building backlinks and many other expenses.

Advantages of SEO Hosting

This becomes unaffordable for the average webmaster since they cannot shell out thousands of dollars each month for running a network of 50 websites. To overcome this and to simplify the lives of webmasters, a service called SEO hosting was introduced. SEO hosting enable webmasters to manage all their websites from one control panel. It also has several other benefits over the method discussed above:
1)You would just have to do background research and choose one SEO host depending on the reliability and reviews from existing customers.
2)You can manage ALL the domains from one single control panel.
3)You would just have to monitor any one of the domains for uptime since all domains would be hosted on the same website.
4)SEO Hosting from a reliable SEO host would cost you about $3-5/IP per month. This turns out to be much cheaper than purchasing accounts from different web hosts.
5)Support staff of SEO hosting providers are trained and possess all the technical knowledge about SEO and would be able to assist you if you ever do face some issue with Multiple C Class IP hosting to imrpove rankings of your website.

Hence SEO Hosting is extremely simple to use and very beneficial for improving the rankings of your website in Search Engines. You can even monetize your blogs from your blog farm for added income.
This technique is so useful that many webmasters have blog farms with upto a 100 blogs and some even own a 1000.

What is a C Class IP?

December 9th, 2008

Multiple class C IP Hosting is a new type of web hosting service that allows webmasters to host their websites and domains on IPs from different C Classes. Multiple class C IP Hosting which is also known as SEO Hosting is the newest gig in the Search Engine Optimization industry. Before we try and leard what exactly Multiple class C IP Hosting and how it can help us in ranking our websites on Search Engines, we need to understand what a C Class IP is.

Firstly, an IP address is nothing but a numeric address for your computer. Just like you have a postal address for your home, computers have IP addresses, the difference being IP addresses are numeric (for example: 206.212.240.2)

I.P is the short form of Internet Protocol

The format of an IP address looks something like this: A.B.C.D

A regular IP comprises 4 different classes: the A class, the B class, the C class, the D class just as seen in the format of the IP address: A.B.C.D

Let us take an example to help us understand better. We’ll take the IP address: 202.212.240.2

Here, the A class of the IP address is 202
the B class of the IP address is 212
the C class of the IP address is 240
the D class of the IP address is 2

The C Class of the IP address is 240 as explained in the above few lines.
The IP addresses 202.212.230.5 and 202.212.230.45 belong to the same C Class.

The IP addresses 202.212.230.5 and 202.212.225.5 belong to different C Classes. Multiple Class C IP Hosting providers offer a service where a number of IPs are alloted to your account, each of which belongs to a seperate C Class.There are 2 ways you can get IPs from multiple C classes for hosting your domain names:

  1. Purchase single accounts from different web hosting providers across the globe, they’d have different servers in different datacenters and hence definitely IPs from different C Classes. This becomes extremely complicated and difficult to manage since suppose you purchase accounts for 50 different hosts, you would have to record the control panel login details for each host, record the billing system login detais for each host, keep a track of invoices payable and pay each invoice from each host individually. This becomes too much of a hassle and difficult to manage too.
  2. The second option you have for getting IPs from multiple C Classes is just signing up for an account from a Multiple Class C IP Hosting provider. This adds ease and flexibility in the management of your domain names by giving you the power to manage all the domain names from just one single control panel. Multiple Class C IP hosting providers turn out to be cheaper than purchasing accounts for single domains from multiple web hosts, as discussed in “option 1″. If you’re serious about boosting your rankings in search engines ranking pages, get yourself an account at a reliable Multiple Class C IP hosting provider. It would be the smartest thing to do :-)

What is Multiple class C IP hosting?

December 8th, 2008

Multiple Class C IP Hosting, just as the name suggests, is a service provided by Multiple Class C IP Hosting providers to webmasters enabling them to host their domains on IPs spread across Multiple Class C of IPs.  Multiple Class C IP Hosting is suitable for webmasters and seo companies who own blog farms or networks of websites. It enables the webmasters/seo companies to have greater control over their domain names since it allows them complete control of all their domain names hosted across ips from multiple class c blocks of ips from just one single control panel. Hence, webmasters can now manage all their domains from one single control panel and yet have them hosted across ips from different c classes.  Multiple C Class IP Hosting allows total control of the entire blog farm or website network to the website owner making it very easy and manageable.

The otherwise complicated task is made extremely easy and manageable with Multiple Class C IP Hosting. Had there been no Multiple Class C IP Hosting service providers available, webmasters and seo companies would have to host their domains and websites on the servers of different web hosts across the world. This becomes extremely confusing and difficult since there are tens and hundreds of domains to manage, each with a different control panel. Keeping a record of the login details of the control panels for each domain becomes very difficult and hence Multiple Class C IP Hosting is a boon to webmasters and seo companies since it cuts down a great amount of effort and complication in their work.

So that was a little introduction to Multiple Class C IP Hosting. We’ll be discussing the indepth details of multiple class c ip hosting in over the coming few weeks. I’ll keep posting new posts adding some information about multiple class c ip hosting.
