Nothing amazing, but it shows a nice, gradual incline. And best of all, it's safe.

You only live so many years, you can wait 20 years and then determine if you failed or made it, or you can get aggressive and make things happen sooner.

Here's another example...

 On phphelp.com/forums  - I have 14000 topics and Google would only index 40 of them.  Why? I didn't know, then one day I decided to try something and changed my custom menu and all of a suddened 11k out of 14k, indexed overnight.

One little change allowed me to shift which path it flowed down the algo.

What didn't google not like about my custom menu, I'm not going to say, but I know.  Algo's are stupid, treat em like they are stupid..

I'm just saying be careful because what may be helping you today could end up destroying your site in future algorithm updates.

Check out the reverse of that, buy not doing anything today, can be hurting or destroying your site in the future. There is always 2 sides to a coin.

Attached is a graph of one of my sites (You can see the de-indexing that happened) - nothing to do with a penalty or a manual action. went from 6 million pages index to just a few thousand. I sat around and did nothing, tried a few things, nothing worked. I gave up on it.

Then one day, I just had an idea, I implemented it, and figured out the Google Algro, applied the necessary changes and bingo.. Re-indexed. Just like that. It's not rocket science, it's just applying logic.

I broke down the algo, through trial and error.  Now I only applied the changes to a portion of my website, when I do the other portion I'll recover the rest.

I think I know the how the algo behaves and what makes things acceptable and not acceptable to it. It's a series of if/then logic that google chooses to decide what path your site goes down as to what it will and will not allow, you shift the path and it opens up the world.

Google is not as smart as you think it is..

All it is, is an algorithm, that changes and people and sites change with it..

You may want to say it's bull****, but look at this..

http://www.fiverr.com/dino_stark/build-an-eminent-backlink-pyramid-good-youtube-seo?funnel=201409021724580436656800

This guy sold 30948 of these $5 services, that's $154,740 (At a minimum for clicking a button) $5 is the base service, a person can always buy the add-ons, in which I'm sure a percentage of those people did.

In his text he mentions "70000+ GIGS SOLD" which is probably different offers he has combined or roughly $350,000

Then this guy gets Great Reviews, repeat Buyers, etc (100% Overall rating) - Not one of those 30,948 people were unhappy.

In your head, you have this psychology, where you think they are "Low Quality Spammy Links", but in reality "Google doesn't see it the same way as you see it", because Google search crawls doesn't have the same an AI that comparable to your intelligence. It's like saying I have a forum profile on your site, and I have links in my signature, does that mean the links I use on your forum is "Low Quality Spammy Links"?   

Once you get on a person's software list, you'll get hit everyday with it, I have before and I had to ban ranges of IP addresses  or implement reCaptcha instead of silly ones that come with forum software.

Things happen by doing, taking action, and executing.  You don't know what works or don't unless you try.

There are many automated tools that register to forums, create a profile, then create a signature with a link in. They don't necessarily post.

The link the profile will then get crawled and provide a back-link to the website in question.

Take a look here.

http://www.fiverr.com/backlinkshub/skyrocket-your-website-with-1000-forum-comment-backlinks?context=advanced_search&context_type=auto&funnel=201409021351228499671460

There are many of these services...

You don't exclude profiles from being crawled, so you're a target.

http://onlinestorageauctions.com/robots.txt

Take a look at mine..

http://phphelp.com/robots.txt

Code: [Select]
Disallow: /index.php?action=profile*

Anyway, so with all that aside - The back-linking if done right will get you a better page rank and better Serps (teir1 - teir2 - teir3) type linking.  So those $5 gigs above are popular and those people make a killing just clicking a button. And to people like you and me, it's worth the $5 easily and doing a few different ones for $20 is worth it.  Doing it manually will take you forever.

You can donate the crates to schools, they use them for storage.

Sometimes I put them out on the curb, and someone normally comes by an grabs them..

They are pretty much worthless, whoever needs crates will just go behind a supermarket and grab a few.

Yes eBay wants to handle things a certain way, but with these new changes they willl lose even more casual sellers and all they will be is a place to get cheap chinese crap.

I think the Chinese will stop selling to be honest, because if they have to pay return shipping back to china, it won't cost under $2 like it does for them to ship to the US.

Did you not read the article I posted the link to that was two posts above the one with the eBay link in it? The one that said eBay started taking return shipping charges out of seller's accounts. I then posted the eBay policy so luke can see how eBay wants to handle these disputes. Also keep in mind that the buyer has not, to our knowledge, filed a claim as of yet. If he knows his stuff and waits until September 15th, what are you going to say then Mr. Chuckles?

I have a 14 day return policy, if he waited until then, he will surely of missed out.  But he filed the dispute, it will go to eBay for arbitration and we'll see what the outcome.

I am excited to report that I have apparently been successful at “getting through” to some of the key decision makers from both our Museum of Art, our Museum of Peoples & Cultures, and our Philanthropic-giving/receiving branch.  On Monday afternoon, I will be meeting with all of the above (in two separate meetings) with the desired outcome being “next-steps” identified.  I can tell you that the interest level is extremely high.  If we need to get you into our meeting via phone, will you be available at 4 pm your time?
 
The person we are needing to meet with re: the textiles…Paul, has a tentative schedule, since his wife is due to deliver a baby any minute now, but we’re still trying to coordinate everyone’s schedules.  The 2 pm meeting (4 – your time) is with our Museum of Art folks.
 
I’ll talk to you Monday mid-morning, either way, re: hope things are looking.  Hope that helps.  I am very sorry things have moved so slowly.  Take care.

I'm still working it - I really hope these donations go through and I won't ever have to pay taxes again :)

I don't know how many eBay dispute cases you have had to deal with Alloro, but eBay has never forced me to pay the return shipping, they have always stated the buyer has to pay return shipping with tracking to prove they returned it. If the seller chooses to refund the return shipping as well, great but eBay has never even hinted at that in the few cases I have dealt with.

Yes, I think this is the worst case scenario. I think he will have to pay return shipping, I might have to return his original shipping charges.

If I receive the item and it's damaged from him trying to shove a video projector into it, then he will need to file an insurance claim with the carrier to get his money back.
