Which other industry gives you this much Freedom?

Seo Black Hat blogger Quadzilla was interviewed on Shoemoney’s Net Income Show last night & I must say it’s one of the more interesting podcasts I’ve listened to in a while.

For some reason I always thought Quadzilla was from South America :p

You can download the show here it’s roughly about 60 minutes long.

Key Points:

  • Quadzilla talks about his history, how he was a Stock Broker at the age of 18.
  • Find out how to make 10c then multiply it by a million
  • Maximize the flaws in the algos until they’re fixed
  • Matt Cutts asks Quad to a question to reveal his sites, he politely declines :p
  • Quadzilla reckons Google could cut out 80% of web spam by removing Adsense but also explains why they wouldn’t do this.
  • Quadzilla has more than 1000 domain’s but less than 10,000.
  • Quadzilla has Corporate Clients who are willing to pay for Blackhat knowledge.
  • The Most efficient Black Hat Technique at the moment is Parasitic hosting to affiliate redirects.
  • Doesn’t make any money through Adwords, doesn’t feel comfortable with Click Fraud.
  • Doesn’t post Black Hat techniques on the blog anymore as no-one links to them.
  • Posts the Black Hat Techniques in the forum instead since people pay money for access.
  • Has recently paid up to $25,000 for a single domain.
  • Prefers .com domain names over any other.
  • Speak briefly about how poker sites are using .net domain names to combat recent laws.
  • Quadzilla recommends running your own affiliate program & not with a 3rd Party.
  • Use Clicktracks for metrics.
  • Quadzilla has been banned from Adsense before. Has also had many warning from Affiliate Programs.
  • Link Bait is the white hat seo way forward.
  • Heard that Google tracks domains that have come up in Gmail Emails (Scary?)
  • Speak about cloaking, what’s ethical & what’s not. I.e. Ranking for Paris Hilton but sending traffic to Poker Sites.
  • Final tip, if making a White Hat site try & buy a trusted domain first. Google’s latest Algo plays on Trust heavily.
  • That’s most of the stuff I picked out of the interview, some good points made. Especially about Google tracking which URL’s are appearing in Gmail Email’s…..

    Tune into the show if you can :)

    I felt that it was one of Shoe’s best shows; I definitely wasn’t expecting a mention, but that never hurts. :)
