Junior SEO in Glasgow can be anything between 15 to 20k in GBP but probably nearer the 15k in most cases for the first 6 months and then they usually quickly scale up through the pay as they offer value.

15k to 20k is annually? What's the average for a scaled one? Does that include taxes?

#ama so i think its wise for people to use cost effective solutions, ive used many freelancers from the east, as clearly the skills in the east are of a very high standard, so i see no point paying someone in the UK a large fee, when i can get a much more skilled worker in the east for half the price. But for the record, i dont do client SEO im not an agency, so ive no issues at all using the best people for the job.

Hi Craig! First of all nice to meet You here, in @seo_burzh_life.

I want to ask about Your personal opinion about Umbrella marketing strategy: strengths and weakness for affiliate niche; and overall conclusion about doing this.

#ama How do you hide links from your competitors?

#ama wow i wasnt aware that people were taking the content and passing it off as their own, but smart move if it works for them, hello whoever you are, thanks for stealing my hard earned content :D  But on a serious note, i kind of take it as a compliment, if the info is spread and you guys can understand it better in your language then fair enough, i think most smart people will eventually realise who has the knowledge over who steals the knowledge, and there is only so much anyone will give away online, whether that be a blog, video or whatever, its not like they will be publishing any of the current and most up to date tips, as i wont be releasing them till ive taken full advantage of them :D

#ama Are there any hands-on approaches to quickly determine how much Google trusts the website.

#ama Best 10 rules for a successful SEO specialist?

#ama How to find out the site has been penalized algorithmically if there was no message about manual actions but the rankings have dropped significantly (we're not talking about the case when developer/SEO fucked sth up).

Ребят, я предлагаю по одному вопросу пересылать и дать ответить, вы очень запутаете сильно человека.

#ama Its hard to say specifically without seeing your site, but as far as my research tells me the May update was focusssed on links, relevance and even volicity of link building.  Now i only really trust people who work with large sets of data, cristophe cemper from LRT, was the one who said he seen a lot of people dip whos link velocity wasnt great. But i also feel that many links got devalued as they were to broad and not relevant enough, so my opinion is those who had an impact were not regularly building links month on month, and were using a broad relevance focus

Yes i do use PBNs as part of most link building campaigns i work on, but maybe like 15-20% will be PBNS, im a lot more focussed on guest posts, with tiered links alongside some other stuff, PBNS are always a fairly low mix, i try and keep it that way just incase the PBN ever gets caught, i think with any link building, you want to diversify it as much as you can.

#ama 2. Expired domains, im just about to release a video on this, but i get the domain, no matter what i then repurpose the old site to see if it will rank again ( it might not someone might have stolen all the content ) or the domain may be burnt, so if it doesnt recover rankings, i throw it in the bin, if it does work, i will do some more guest posts, tier 2 links, web 2.0s and niche edits to increase its power, then simply 301 to my money site

301 page by page? Do you add it to GSC?

#ama dont go crazy making too many changes at once sometimes things settle and it will naturally improve, but id just be looking at using POP to double check on-page, do a site audit and clean up any on-page issues, disavow any garbage, then focus on some seriously high DR links, focus on power and relevance, not volume

Do you use link exchanges services such as SAPE in your link building strategy? Maybe to help competitors?

He rooted it oot.😁

#ama hi! What do you think about links from forums, blogs, etc. Is it useful?

#ama a few tips on affiliate, never target a niche thats seasonal, i had Golf accessories and sales were great 7-8 months per year, i would also make sure that any product i was selling was more than £100, as too many people get high volume of sales, but low commisions, and anyone who has real success gets less sales but the product value is much higher. So my golf site, the average cost per sale was $20 people buying tshits, hats etc, now my cost for links and content is the exact same whether i sell a tshirt, or a £1000 laptop, so to make affiliate profitable i would go after high ticket items only.

Hi Craig, thank you for coming. how would you choose a niche for affiliate site if you have zero budget for links? #ama
