Hmm... you again with your remarks. I guess my previous assessment of you was wrong.

Did I use the word 'entire'? Didn't think so.

Carry on.
:pimp

Looks like you did to me too.

You're right. Messed that up when I did the original edit re-typing that paragraph. That's what I get for trying to talk on phone, answer IM and post all at the same time. Whoops.

However, common sense as provided, "8IP/5 usable', would have clued most people not trying to argue about petty crap that I what I meant was, an entirely DIFFERENT c-class. No one is going to give you 256 IP's for $4.00.

My bad on missing that with the edit. Apologies to rowan. Carry on.

As said above, masking your footprints is the single most important element in interlinking strategies. The footprint includes: host location, IP, site code, content, registrar, nameservers, DNS record modification dates, domain transfer history, whois information and more.

SEO hosting can help with a few of those, but you still need to handle the rest of the factors if you want to succeed.

Another free tip is for interlinking networks, pay close attention to link velocity/acceleration. You want things to seem as natural as possible, so the following throws up a flag to google:

- Many new links all appearing at once
- Links almost all using the same keyword anchor text
- No links dropping
- All links coming to the same/main page of the domain

What you want to do, is:

- Links added gradually
- Links dropped gradually (of course, always keep a positive link acceleration pace)
- Mix up / rotate anchor texts, throwing in some non-relevant or domain name (as would naturally happen)
- Mix linking to main pages and deep links

Enjoy :thumbsup

I think you're better off doing it yourself. Think about it. If you use a "SEO host" then it's likely they attract a certain clientèle who tends to do certain things which MAY be seen badly by Google. Consider who your neighbors are within that class C.

For most it isn't even something to worry about in the first place. And indeed it's often better to keep it organic. Far less chance of being banned.

all correct except for mentioning that linking any sites internally that are less than pr4/5 is a waste of time now..

gaming google is getting harder... better off just putting in the work... :2 cents:

longtails are still kicking ass even after the mayday update..

Agree, I would much rather have rank for 5,000 phrases getting 10 uniques each a day than a single top-ranking that gets 50,000 uniques a day.

total snake oil

You really are a tool, baddog. Just cause he's offering something for half the price you do and actually knows what he is talking about, you bash him.:321GFY

Shut up and go away already...:2 cents:

Go sell some more free $500 SEO reports to newbies. Asshole.

nope, that would be me :thumbsup

PS: can I be trashed/insulted? I feel so left out :(

Not by me. I've never had any problems with anything you've ever said.

To the original question: The problem is certainly the way these packages are promoted, since it takes ALOT more than just a bunch of dedicated and different class C IPs to mask a network properly, totally agreed.

Ironically, it fits the whole sheme SEO services are often sold to people. Shaving affiliates in adult looks like a childish prank compared to what some self proclaimed SEO agencies do to their customers...

hmmm... I dont get it.

Sabby:)

Most people don't, that's why they get fleeced, and it annoys me.

Great avatar, I want to have a play.

Agreed.

Do some research yourself, it's rife in this industry.

Varius should charge people $100.00 each just to be able to read his posts.
They are worth more than most consultants will teach you for 5K :2 cents:

Yes, he's on the ball.

I agree.

In theory, SEO agencies shouldn't even exist. If they are so good at what they do, why not just do it for themselves like myself and most other guys do? Or do they need some kind of rod for their back, or psychological crutch or need to be loved? LOL.

Most children could see the difference between criminal fraud (shaving) and clowns willingly handing over their money to self-described SEO experts.

He's a smart guy. That's for sure.
