People have been asking more about BlackHatStacks (BHS), what exactly it is and what’s inside, this post will give you a quick overview. For a long time now SEOs have been wanting more in depth tutorials and advanced guides for things like GSA search engine ranker and private blog networks. Well the problem is, we can’t all be running the same methods and compromising the integrity of the process for everyone else. This is why you’ll find more noobie geared content and generalized tutorials on my blog, the specifics just can’t be revealed openly.
Enter BlackHatStacks, a community stacked with more knowledge on SEO than you’ll find anywhere on the web. It’s the ultimate resource for intermediate to advanced SEOs looking for the missing pieces when it comes to blackhat SEO.
Here’s a closer look at just a FEW of the perks available immediately when you join the community:
- A 100% private forum with so many of the tutorials you guys have been asking for, that for so long I was hesitant to release to the public.
- Case studies, research experiments, and other guides from myself and circle of SEO friends.
- A library of scripts to help make your work flow easier and help you improve your game. These scripts were developed to increase productivity and eliminate the most annoying tasks faced in our day to day grind.
(Here’s a peak)
- Forums on each and every area that concerns a blackhat SEO (and then some). When members post questions on these forums, they’ll most likely be answered by myself or some of my elite blackhat friends.
- More to come that we’re not announcing quite yet…
Now, the tutorials you get immediately when you join are the fruit of my (and a couple close, elite friends) research from countless hours of hustle.
Here’s a preview of a few of the ones I think you’ll be most interested in right off the bat:
GSA Search Engine Ranker Tutorial: How I’ve perfected the setup with over 1000s of hours running the software, and how you can replicate it exactly. This is a huge 3 part series. Of course, by necessity it features a tutorial on my site scraping techniques you won’t find here or anywhere else. Take a look.
Private Networks: Our PBN tutorial kills anything you’ve found to date. It’s the real deal created by my partner who is INSANE at what he does, having created multiple successful networks. You get his epic 7-part series, available immediately to you when you join our community. Here’s a look:
SAPE: If you’re tired of spending too much with a broker, or just want the power to order baller links at will, you’ll LOVE our detailed SAPE Tutorial. It will take you through everything, even signing up for your account and funding it (harder that you would imagine, if you haven’t tried it yourself).
Also here is a quick video that shows the forum a bit.
There is, of course, much more available, now as my focus has been on publishing a ton of content there mostly.
To get started, check out BlackHatStacks.com and I’ll see you on the other side.
Thanks for posting this. I’ve been entertaining the idea for some time now.
These things that you’re talking about (tutorials, case studies, libraries of scripts, etc) all come WITH the subscription, right? We don’t subscribe and the find out that we only paid for the “bottom tier” membership, and see that certain tutorials still cost money, or require another membership level?
Also, I consider myself pretty advanced with SEO but a total noob on the affiliate blackhat game (Been doing SEO for several years now, but barely learning my way around GSA).
Yes ALL comes with, not my style to play those type of games. Once you get in you’ve got access to everything, no bullshit. Hence the price being a bit higher than other paid forums to get in the door, this is because we packed so much in here, the best and most complete tutorials you’ll find on GSA, PBNs, etc, and now we have a crapload of Q & A adding even more value and depth from our founding members.
It’s definitely more geared for intermediate to advanced SEOs who already have an understanding for the general framework but just want to leap frog all the growing pains. Learning GSA search engine ranker for example, a tool I’ve spent 2+ years using to get to the point I’m at can be such a grind to learn, most people just give up but with BHS we reduce the massive learning curve.
Hopefully that better sums it up, appreciate your questions Cog!
Sounds great. I’ll be signing up within the next couple of days. Looking forward to it. Thanks for answering my questions. As I’m sure you can tell by them, I’ve gotten burned by other forums.
No prob, I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised by what we have created here.
i’d love to join but i dont have the funds as of now,is there a probono case?
Haha. Yeah, same as. I wish. But I think we gotta pay to play. Although we could always try this… “Dear Santa, I have been very good this year…”
1. Can you explain what exactly cases are described at blachhatstacks?
2. Do you useful info on media buying thematic?
3. Maybe some Xrumer stuff?
4. Maybe some private seo tools?
5. Backlinks lists (gsa, xrumer etc)?
1. We do all kinds of stuff, currently talking about rough link quantities for GSA and PBN, testing a multitude of social signal services vs not, member cases, etc
2. Nothing with media buying, 99% SEO and spam.
3. We have experience with Xrumer but prefer GSA, we do discuss this.
4. No actual private SEO tools but offer private scripts
5. No need, our site scraping tutorial will have you building lists like a beast.
Sorry, I sent an email before I realized you were fielding questions about BHS here. I don’t care which ‘hat’ I’m wearing, its all about rankings! But I do have client websites, are the techniques geared more towards a churn and burn, which I am sure there is great info about, but are there tutorials and guides that I would be able to use for client websites as well?
We’re mainly focused on the aggressive spam tactics like GSA, PBNs, etc not something I would directly be using on client sites, that doesn’t mean there still isn’t practical use. Especially if your client is in a very competitive market, there are many ways to approach it.
Actually a decent thread on this called “Spam for legit businesses” we have going. I already covered the broad strokes of how I would use spam with a legit site or client site in this post.
BHS has all the guides and little details needed to actually setup and run things the right way without spending years learning it all. Along with access to myself and some other experienced blackhats. If you’re a clever SEO there is always utilize these tactics while keeping your main flagship brand untainted. Hope that makes sense and great question!
Thanks for the quick reply. I am going to join on Tuesday after a client pays me. I love spam SEO, just can’t be that aggressive with it on a clients website. Would love to be apart of an SEO forum that does not preach the Cuttis Gospel.
Sweetness, I look forward to chatting more. Oh there isn’t much Cutts Gospel going on, we don’t have time for that bullshit.
Hello Jacob,
I’ve been getting your missives for about a year now. My SEO skills are beginner and not intermediate. But would there be tools that would allow me to help sell my new ebook? It sells for $0.99 per copy. But this week I am setting up an affiliate service, whereby a buyer can put an affiliate button on their Facebook account and if clicked, takes them to the buying page for $2.19 instead of $0.99. The affiliate gets $1.09 royalty.
TYVM for responding. Eventually I’ll be wise enough to understand what you are talking about every month.
sam
Of course you could use spam to sell an ebook, good god man. Amazon page, domains, parasites, etc, you could surely spam rank some stuff and push your ebook.
cautiously optimistic
Just curious, do you have any member testimonials you can share?
For example from someone who has more less the “Dirty Harry” setup but lacked the education to get anywhere and has made a little $$ since using the tools/tutorials/etc. from BHS. Doesn’t have to be a lot of money, could even be $5 or something small like that – the amount is irrelevant actually since no serious human expects a beginner to go from $0 to $1,000,000 in 6 months.
Well it’s still a little soon but I’m sure we’ve helped our members make more cash, and we’ve also really honed in and simplified the setup we use.
Laptop home VPS
50 proxies
GSA + CB
DBC
Gscraper + proxy service
The GSA and gscraper tut series I created walks through the exact setup. Then of course we cover a shit ton of info on PBNs with the best tutorial you’ll find but this is where the real money goes investment wise.
We’ve gotten really positive feedback, consistently our new members tell us the tutorials/guides blow away any SEO related content you’ll find anywhere on the web.
Hey Jacob,
Been following you for a short while now. Never done any blackhat seo and so am a complete novice.
Would love to jump in to the forum but my concern is what sort of a monthly budget does one need to get things going? I know its difficult without any details, but would appreciate any ballpark figure.
Thanks
Well not including the initial investment for software, here are the approximate costs:
Wordai – $49.95
Proxies – $50
Proranktracker – $25
Ahrefs – $79
Gscraper proxy service – $66
Dethbycaptcha – ~$40
Then let’s say $25 per month for a few hosting accounts.
Now you’re going to want a PBN of course, so let’s allocate $50 to get started in PBN hosting cost.
We’re looking at a total here of $385 per month to run a nice spam operation. So roughly $300-$500 per month to get it done right.
These are the software and services required recurring expenses every month, but apart from that which are the mandatory softwares that need to invest one time?
GSA SER, GSA CB, Gscraper, and Kontent Machine or WAC
I am new to SEO and I have good sites but I my site is zero search results, This membership is Good for New bies?
It’s more geared for intermediate to advanced SEOs, we’re assuming most people who join already have a copy of GSA Ssearch engine ranker for example, they just don’t want to spend years learning the software to expert level. The same goes for PBN owners/builders looking for a proper education.
Hi Jacob, I have seen many IM’ers but I can say you are simply amazing IMer in IM World because you talk to the point, I would love to read your blog posts regularly but you are updating your blog once in a month, BlackHatStacks is really wonderful opportunity for everyone to interact with you on regular basis but It was my experience that whenever new forum starts on Black Hat Stuff they maintain the quality stuff in the begining then all peoples/members start posting crappy things where the purpose to join such forum to get the exact what we are looking for with regular updates in strategies, I hope that you will take care of these things in future.
Yup I know exactly what you’re talking about and I’m working hard to make sure that never happens with us. Regardless our tutorials are well worth the entrance fee, if that is all someone wants to just get educated when it comes to GSA, PBN, scraping, expired domains, etc then they will find that. But keeping an active value adding community is a big responsibility which I will not give up on, and so far so good, definitely surpassed my expectations.
Take a peak at this screenshot for example, so many great questions and threads in just one section.
Great news, JK. Good on you. Now I just need to scrape up the moolah to get me in the door of BHS. Wish me luck. Sparking up Scrapebox any second now : )
Hey Jacob, Right to the point. I have mainly been doing parasite pages for ranking and been doing ok at it. I’m earning around $5k a month with affiliate stuff, but I know if I can get a better SER system down and scale it, I’ll double that. I really need some more detailed setup on SER to break page 1. I have tons of like page 2 Facebook pages, just something I’m not getting right I think. My setup is dedicated server, 100 semi proxies, CB two purchased monthly list that sync into SER and Instantlinkidexer that I’m sending about 50k links a day to.
If I pay for access am I going to get the higher top information that I am needing to get my crap ranking better with SER? Your right, there are tons of bullshit forums that give me such a damn headache just reading trying to find “useful” information. I need results, no fluff, just to the point shit that works I can implement. Is that what your offering? Thanks Jacob.
Matt
Yes that is exactly what we’re offering, the series on SER is top notch, no fluff just the setup we’ve evolved by running the software a ton and spamming all kinds of crap, I’ve actually done quite a few FB pages myself, recently, mass spam with GSA, like 2k+ contextuals and I can get em to pop page 1. I think we even chat about it specifically in a couple threads.
So yes if you’re already running GSA at that volume then the BHS training is perfect for you. A large chunk of my life went into learning GSA and the training condenses all of that.
You share your GSA Lists in this Community ?
Good List is the Key for Success :)
Not directly, but I teach exactly how I build mine and share footprints, so…
Jacob
Your membership site has been brought to my attention through another blackhat site – and really my question is this mate – I have pissed-around for about 5 years trying various methods, including building and promoting my own affiliate sites – and I have basically made $0000000.
Yes, tried following all those other “blackhat” gurus – got nowhere.
So my real question is this mate – if I shelled-out for your membership site, and followed your “how-to” guidelines, is this a shure – fire way to make money ?
I’m not a noob, but I am one of those people who prefer to follow a recommended path to be able to make moolah – is your path going to lead me there ?
Thanks
John
Well what I initially created is all the components needed to run some good SEO spam. There are 4 main areas, GSA search engine ranker (automated link spam), Private blog networks, paid link networks, and site building.
Now we have the best tutorials/guides which will bring you to an advanced level with those areas so you can start running your own tests. We also talk about keyword research of course and finding a lucrative market. So essentially you’re getting help with all these pieces to jump start your game then the rest is up to you. Sure the forum is there for questions and what not, but to truly bring in the $$ you have to take the knowledge, run with it, and execute big time.
So if you already have some good niches in mind and a general understanding for the areas I mentioned above but want to take it to the next level, BHS is a huge value.
I could feel the shit inside your BHS. I love shit actually.
I have some tools and services in hands GSA SER, GSA CB, Kontent Machine, SEO Powersuite, TBS, Scrapebox, DBC, 20 Private Proxies and a small Windows 4GB VPS to run them.
I’m not actually a noob in BH SEO, but I just have theories about it without any proper using them.
I’ve ran multiple sites with good easy rank topic, but I never use BH tactics with them as I don’t really understand how to maximize the BH tactics to my legit sites. Therefore, I don’t want to burn my legit sites.
With that said, I must need $300-$500 per month for running to the beast. But, actually, I don’t have enough budget up to that. I only spend $100/month to play with the tools and mix up, right now!
Anyways, I could smell the shit for BHS and will get more courage to earn more to join them. As you stated I need more monthly budget to run the beast, the membership fee is nothing compare the the shit tons of thing in there, only the budget to run the campaign is the issue.
“I could feel the shit inside your BHS. I love shit actually.”
Hahahahahaha.
Jacob, around what level of $$ do you recommend a month (besides for the BHS fee) to play with. I feel just like roversierr above sort of.
And Jame LA feels he/she needs $300-$500/month to run “the beast”.
If we’re not looking to run the beast…is BHS worth it? I’m getting a lot of back and forth if this is for the beginner or more moderately experienced.
Okay, nevermind – I see the answer above in another comment. Please excuse Aunt Jemima for this oversight.
No problem Auntie Jam!
Hi Jacob,
The forum says that it is limiting the number of members its accepting, could you elaborate on this? I’m a passionate guy about what I do and I love SEO, I’ve started not long ago and I think it won’t be long until I make my first thousand — maybe a month or two. I’d love to sign up for this forum and pay the fee but you gotta give me some time, I also don’t want to miss out on a potentially SEO-game-changing experience.
Could you “save a spot”, or open the forum for further registrations at later times or something like that?
Thanks!
Registration will be open for the next few months, not sure when/if we’ll actually wind up capping it after all.
Jacob, you might want to read this article:
Google Targets Sites Using Private Blog Networks With Manual Action Ranking Penalties
http://searchengineland.com/google-targets-sites-using-private-blog-networks-manual-action-ranking-penalties-204000
Yup I’m still standing, had a very small % deindexed from that push.
Jacob,
Curious your thoughts on RankWYZ.com and developing Web 2.0 network?
Thanks,
Emmett
BTW, am on the fence regarding BHS.
Not wasting my time with web2s these days, just not getting the ROI there. We discuss this in BHS actually, few members have asked about web2s and the consensus is about the same. Focus on network building instead.
Hey Jacob,
Really enjoying the blog..
Maybe you Can help me out? I have an initial amount of money to invest in my online adventures amounting to the costs of gsa + relevant tools. Do you think its better to build a decent size pbn considering i have no Experience with any of the tools ?
Regards,
Diemar
Thanks dude. You need both brother, it’s not a one or the other type deal, for big keywords, we use GSA + PBN.
Ah yeah for sure! But what do you Think would get my investment back most reliably so as to buy the other parts of the equation:)
If I pay the initial payment for the first month and want to take a break from time to time, can I put my subscription on hold? I mean not having to pay the initial payment again when I reactivate my account. Thanks!
Of course, once you pay the entrance you’re a lifer. Just need to start up your monthly subscription.
Hi, Jacob,
first of all i appreciate for all the posts on this blog, they were really helpful!
and i would really appriciate if you can answer one of my question regarding on this forum. besides all the google search engine ranker and private blognetwork training, will there be a Domain Authority Manipulation method as well? Thank you in advance!
Thanks dude. Like manipulating the moz metric or just in general increasing domain authority?
You can easily inflate the moz metric DA with some good ole fashioned spam if that’s what you mean.
Hi Jacob, i am having some weird issue while trying to pay for the subscription. Please contact me.
Can’t wait to join ^^
Thanks
Sorry about that Paul, had a hectic day yesterday. It looks like you wound up getting signed up so I’ll see you on the inside :-)
Hey Jacob,
Just one quick question:
Are your SEO strategies also working in foreign countries like Germany? Do you have any members from foreign countries who have success ranking sites with your tutorials from the member area?
Thanks
Yes definitely, we’ve been rolling mostly international stuff lately. I haven’t tested .de personally but I’m sure you can use the same approach we are with GSA and translating things. I’m also pretty sure we have a couple guys from Germany around.
Hello Jacob, what about Poland?
No reason why you can’t apply our tactics in Poland or any country for that matter. In fact a large majority of my efforts over the last year were in foreign markets.
Hello Jacob,
is the GSA SER tutorial inside your forum in video format or is it text with images?
And another question:
Is it possible to rank also terms with higher competition with GSA SER only? Do you think if you could produce enough links per day with GSA SER, that you could rank search terms with higher competition? Is the number of links limiting factor when ranking with GSA?
It is in text with images, and there are some videos also.
It is possible to rank smaller terms, like under 1k volume with GSA only. Not as easy as it used to be, but it’s possible. We focus on using GSA + PBN to get the job done. Also have been doing some testing in other languages and getting results using GSA only like you’re referring to, still smaller KWs tho. The limiting factor isn’t so much the quantity of links per day, it’s the amount of authority links you can actually produce with GSA to balance all the spam you’re blasting.
Hello Jacob,
Prepare for some Ill-informed newbie questions…
1. How does spam earn you money? How much money can you expect to make in the spamming business?
2. I only know beginner SEO. Is it better if Iearn more about it before I decide to join?
3. I’d like your honest opinion of this: http://inbound.org/post/view/confessions-of-a-google-spammer
4. If you use black hat Seo techniques, doesn’t it make Google ban you? Or isn’t this risky? Maybe a little illegal?
5. Is it a sustainable business model? Do you need to pay tax? (Ok stupid question… Of course you do, unless I’m missing something here)
My surface level impressions so far on how this whole system works:
Maybe you find clients with businesses to help rank their sites using black hat Seo methods… then get paid. One tactic involves spamming something to get serious back links or something magical. Lol. I need your help.
Thank you very much, also your blog is pretty awesome :)
Lol, these are pretty good. Ok here we go:
1. The type of spam I’m referring to usually is link spam, registering on different CMS (content management systems) with software and posting some content with a link. Since Google ranks are heavily driven by links, we create them artificially (through spam) to drive up our site’s ranks. Which is targeting some profitable terms and then makes us money through affiliate offers or lead capture one we achieve high ranks.
2. Maybe, some people do well getting hit with all of it first as opposed to scraping their own knees for years.
3. Well my opinion is the piece is great, I love how many freaking shares it got. But SEO wise I don’t stand by the message, at all. No offense to Jeff but if this story is all true then it’s clear why black hat has failed and it’s not totally because of Google. Yes things have become much more difficult but they have far from ended. I think they have ended for the spammers with a routine like this though:
7:00am: Wake up, do some stretching and play with my two-year-old son while my chef prepared breakfast.
8:00am: Eat breakfast and watch an NBA game (the Clippers, if they had a game) while eating breakfast. The nanny watched my son.
9:30am: Check in with my partner and employees, Facebook, and chat with my two journalist friends in Beijing.
11:00am: BS on Skype with some SEO spammer buddies for a bit.
12:30pm: Ride my scooter to the gym.
1:00pm: Run 10km, lift weights.
3:00pm: Go for a swim in the ocean or the neighborhood pool.
3:30pm: Play with my son and his friends.
5:00pm: Play basketball at the court with maintenance workers and tourists staying in my neighborhood.
7:00pm: Shower, then dinner, prepared by my chef.
8:00pm: Put my son to bed.
9:00pm: Check in on Skype, BS online, read books.
11:00pm: Sleep.
Are you kidding me? What about actually working? Too busy spending all the money from what was currently working and then when the rug got pulled out he couldn’t pivot. While I do agree that you should be realistic with your expectations from black hat SEO as it’s gotten much harder, but completely jumping ship to Moz and making us all sound like a bunch of scumbags is not the case.
There are plenty of dudes making $100k+ per month with a small PBN (I happen to know some), plentyyyyy. Go ask those dudes about this article, wait they wouldn’t say shit cuz they’re busy banking. And I’m not talking some super advanced technical blackhats here, just decent SEOs who found the right niche, executed on a decent PBN, linked properly, and handled business.
While those days are still alive and well, we can’t begin to condemn blackhat, especially because one guy had a rough ride at the end.
4. Yes of course, pretty much anything manipulative will get you a penalty. Google wants you give them Tiffany cufflinks of content, full access to scraping and using the shit out of it, and never think about building links. Just shut the fuck up and take the traffic you get.
5. It all depends on how you focus it, if you’re 100% focused on ranking payday loans jut to make a big month then no it’s not sustainable. But if you’re using it for something smart like custom acquisition, a recurring revenue model, etc then you can use it to grow sustainable assets. Lots of ways to skin the cat as they say. Any money that you earn under your SS or tax id is taxable, regardless of the means you used to get it. Business wise I don’t do clients much, I’m busy building and hustling my own stuff. And when I do we would execute a proper strategy applying what makes sense.
Phew, I think I just wrote a blog post in a comment.
This kind of community is definitely a necessity in the blackhat SEO world, especially now that there’s so much BS floating all over the web. I do believe that blackhat SEO will thrive despite what Google does or what the whitehat purists say.
Hope sometimes in future you will run at least 1-2 days special promoting subscription to be $49 from begin, now can’t afford to pay $200 :S
Gotta pay to playyyyy ;-)
Hi Jacob, first post here. Id like to join your forum but Im not sure its suited for me. Would be great to hear your opinion whether its worth for me;
1. Advanced SEOer (senuke user + private PBN) internet pharmacy niche, really “big” keywords. Used to be really good (top spots) but;
2. Since 2015 Im unable to move anything in serps, some minor serp moves even with powerful PBN backlins (powered by 2nd tier contextual etc.)
3. Will I learn anything at your forum ? I can seat and learn GSA (about to do it now) in one day – what kind of extra things I can learn there ?
4. Does your members are really into “big” game ? not local plumber searches etc. Will I benefit any wisdom from you or other members once I signed up (will contribute back of course) You see people at your forum, topics you dicussed. Please tell me honestly
Any additional reason why I should join will be great, Im looking for some good ideas for thoughest keywords.
Id appreciate honest answer, cheers
Oh shit, I just emailed you. Ok yeah some actual questions, that helps haha.
We have a wide variety of members covering competitive stuff like gambling and then others doing lower comp stuff like local SEO. Nothing pharma that I’ve heard but I doubt too many of those dudes would be joining any type of forum lol. If you’re not familiar with GSA then this is the best resource you’ll find for getting up to speed with everything quickly.
How to properly run the software, how to best scrape target sites, how to setup campaigns and anchor text, the list goes on and on.
Jacob,
I’ve seen 1000 forums popup in the past 25 years I’ve been doing IM and each seems to have the latest Snake Oil. One of your other commentors has already mentioned above.
I could ask you the same old questions, “What makes you different”, but I’m looking for more detailed information about the types of things you are doing and I don’t expect you to post it here publicly.
Do you have a skype? That might be better for our conversation!
Thanks
g
Yes I do, just emailed you.
Same here Jacob, please email me details what can I benefit from your forum. Im experienced SEOer working in online phramacy niche for clients, “big” keywords.
K just emailed.
Jacob,
First, congrats on your success and your style. No doubt every penny invested here (for the right individual) will pay back in spades .. no doubt.
My question is – as it seems PBNs are the way to go now .. but for how long? Do we have two years? As PBNs take a while to gain traction (building sustainably) – newb here but 5-6 months at least, right? do we have a couple of years before we need to begin building “the next thing”?
Also – my aim to is work sustainably (maybe slower, but longer) .. so what I’m most curious about; is BHS discussing the future of this space? .. spam, blackhat, growth, are we discussing new ideas, trying new things – so we’re ahead of the curve when the axe begins to fall?
Last question .. you mention Q&A sessions with yours truly – are these structured, weekly? etc.. or they happen from time to time ..(??)
Thanking you in advance for your help .. Great work!!
Thank you Keith, and you’re right, there are many members/students who have learned a ton very quickly, it just has to be the right person.
Ok so your question on PBNs, the answer depends on a few factors.
Quality and relevance of domains – Now if you have a huge network of extremely low quality domains then they might diminish a bit over time, 5-6 months like you mentioned is definitely a reasonable expectation if you’re utilizing PBN links. But with some high powered domains and depending on how much spam you’re using along side this is the time period I’m expecting for all my work. Like 6-12 months or longer, 3 at the very least. Also consider the relevance of the domains since in most cases it’s going to be hard to build a totally relevant network of domains. They might be close which would take a lot of time and patience to find them all, but then you’d be like damn near 100% safe if you did everything else perfect. Overall though I try not to think like “what is safe”, I just steam roll shit. The next factor to consider is the actual construction of the domains being there are multiple ways to approach it. You can use some unique content, some auto generated content, archive.org content, a mixture, and lastly a full restore of the site from archive.org with some sort of ripper. They each have their role of course, but if I had to say one I guess the full archive restores would provide the most safety? But maybe not, because the pages will likely be not relevant and the links won’t be placed contextually like they would be on a PBN domain with relevant content. You see there is a lot at play here.
Quality of hosting – We could spend hours talking about hosting alone but to keep it short and sweet. Let’s say you use an SEO host that gets compromised vs a bunch of shared accounts that don’t get touched. How you host will effect the longevity no doubt.
Usage of anchor text – As we discovered with penguin 1.0 Goog can always move the goal post on us. Before that update you could just mash exacts like crazy with no worry of penalty. Just take your top keywords and pour on the PBN links, watch the ranks climb. Now days you have to be a bit more sophisticated with building your anchor text profile.
Overall usage of the PBN domains – How are you using the PBN domains? Spamming all kinds of random shit? OBLs to payday, garcinia, casino, and coupons all on the same blog? Not to say this is the end of the world ;-) but you can imagine this isn’t as secure of a play compared to a 100% relevant net or one dedicated only to a single site or group of sites.
Authority of target domain – This depends on if we’re talking brand new domains or something fairly established. the more established site having a higher chance of withstanding updates and handling what you throw at it.
So depending on the investment you can adjust a couple of those nobs.
Discussing the future…not a ton I guess but that would surely make for some interesting discussion. So the Q & A with yours truly, I just jump in daily and answer questions. And I really make an effort to go hard for the new members to help them get going and clear any roadblocks they might have. The community is still pretty small, so I’m really on top of everything. I answer stuff daily over my morning coffee usually, I really try to go hard with it. My points on the PBN stuff are a taste, but inside the forum I just don’t hold back the details.
Thanks Jacob .. see u on the other side!
Hey somewhere new to visit now that wickedfire is paid lol.
One quick question…. how long do you think it takes to rank with a PBN ?
Brand new domain? For a super competitive keyword, 2-4 months. Can be quicker but that’s the norm for me.
Hi Jacob,
After the so much struggle and research, I’m very much interested to join my hands with people who hit the target quickly. I’m ready to jump into the ocean with your support.
The question is – Can I stop my subscription at anytime? (Due to my bounded investment :(
If I get good results quickly with BHS then I will be with you guys until google ends :)
Thanks
Ronald.
Yes most definitely you can stop your subscription at anytime. And you have the option to reactivate at only the monthly fee if you’d like.
Hi, King!
I’m interested in joining BHS and having a headstart with SEO again in my life. I was away from SEO for almost a year now. Last year I had great success with BlackHat(never used any tools myself though) rank & bank stuff but things went bad after the sandbox delays and penalties were implemented. I wanna make a comeback to this game with a bang now!
I have a few queries before I board the BHS ship:
1> Any discount for BHS currently? Black Friday is far away, consider OktoberFest? ;-)
2> I already have GSA + CB + KM, and I need to buy SB or GS. Clearly, you are leaned towards GScraper. However, if I buy Scrapebox then would it be difficult for me with any sought of lack of guidance on BHS for using Scrapebox? Or should I skip SB and just go for GS (I will not buy the $66 GS proxies though, gets expensive unless I start ranking sites)
Please let me know!
Thanks,
Aaron
1. Sup dude, just emailed you a cod, enjoy.
2. You can use the same approach with Scrapebox, no worries. And honestly gscraper proxy service has been quite the bitch lately. I have both, too maby uses for Scrapebox so if you’re worried about cost then you can stick with just Scrapebox. Then use your set of proxies for GSA in Scrapebox as well, this will slow you down a bit because you can’t run GSA while scraping but that’s fine, you don’t need to scrape all the time.
Lmk if you have any more questions ;-)
Just Joined and I am getting the best out of it! Great insight here.

Sounds great. I’ll be signing up within the next couple of days. Looking forward to it. Thanks for answering my questions. As I’m sure you can tell by them, I’ve gotten burned by other forums.
I missed the recent Black Friday discount for BHS. Was away. So sad. I’d love to join. May i have the same rate again? Please….
You might be able to butter me up with a nice email ;-)
I’m seriously considering joining, I hope I will find tactics that still work now that we are almost in 2016?
Don’t take my question personal, it is for a reason.
I’m new to SEO and all most all the tutorials that I have read so far are full of outdated tactics, even ones that were recently published.
It seams most people share their tactics only when they are no more getting value from it.
Are the tutorials outdated? Of course not, I’m constantly posting and doing my best to keep everything up to date. Spamming has evolved no doubt, but it’s still a big part of the game.
It is possible to join it at free of cost for few days and when we think its a so useful then can subscribe or cancel it?
Nope sorry, gotta pay to play.
Thank you for your review.. How many PBN to rank the competitive keyword ( ie :technology,Insurance) ?
Without seeing the actual SERPs, I’d say 50-100 links.
Is BHS still active? I’m going to join the stack. Is there any special offer for joining as I’ve missed Black Friday, Christmas and Cyber Monday?
Yeah definitely, if you signup for my email list there is a code at the bottom of the short ebook I send. Or you can email me and I’ll send you a code :-)
Hi Jacob, a buddy of mine highly recommended your work to me. Said that what you do is for those who want results by putting in the work. I’m ready to put in the work. Greatly appreciate it if you can send me a coupon code. I would still sign up even if you don’t…just thought I’d ask. Thanks
Yup I can, go ahead an send me an email – jacob at jacobking.com and I’ll hook you up
Where is that plugin tool for creating pbn on wordpress you had mentioned few month ago? I cant find a link to it.
Hey Nick, not selling it anymore. People didn’t really understand how to use the little beast. I can still hook you up with a copy if you’re interested in joining BHS. Just shoot me an email.
This is awesome Jacob – nice work as always!
Will join today – and codes around?
Sure, I’ll email you one :-)
Hey Jacob,
why you don’t post anything here :( ?
Everything went only for paid subscribers via forum?
Maybe you could hook up me with a discount to BHS?
Shoot me an email and I can make dreams come true haha. Just busy man building shit, trying to post some stuff but then it never is good enough to publish without a lot of effort. Content coming soon, motivation coming!!
Hey man, love the blog.
This forum still up to date and providing insider info?
Hey Jacob, still have some discount codes in there?
Yeah sureee, twist my arm – BHS50OFF
“So roughly $300-$500 per month to get it done right”
That…. excluding your precious BHS membership and the initial spending for the tools…
Screw me… I live in a third world country with only $500 monthly income
By the time i have the money, i’m pretty sure the SEO industry will already changed that noob like me can never jump in…. SEO is definitely not for me ~.~
Gotta pay to play buddy, things are always changing.
Hey. I want join your discussion group. But it’s closed for new people. How can i join?
No more joiny join, closed for good.
You may not have the money but you can still learn SEO. Is it more viable a choice to pay a professional? Absolutely, especially if your time is limited but if you have more money then time go for it. If you have more time then money hit the books. Jacob, love your site man. Continued success into 2017 and beyond brother.
Well considering 99.9% of the “professionals” are completely full of shit, yeah not really a route I’d recommend.
Jacob, When would you be opening the Memberships again?
Never, turned into a huge pain in the ass.
