    Purpose of Google On/Off

    Are you sure that Google has re-crawled/re-indexed that page since you added those tags?

    Getting good results in search now what?

    Are you sure people are searching for the things you rank for? Are you sure that you are ranking when other people search (discounting any personalisation, geo-targeting etc). If you are ranking highly when other people search, what's your description in the SERPs look like? Is it accurate...

    affiliate shops

    I don't know whether you could say there is an industry. There are business people who run profitable websites and who acquire more when they see good opportunities. When there is a buyer willing to pay a high enough price for one, they'll sell. Flippa is good if you want a turnkey that you...

    affiliate shops

    Presumably affilipark take a cut of your earnings? I would just sign up with someone like Amazon, Commission Junction, Affiliate Window etc and sell using them. The affiliate networks are already "middle men", you don't need a "middle middle man" by using affilipark. Usually the biggest...

    How to avoid this Image Issue

    I doubt that hotlinking will saboutage your SEO efforts, otherwise all the competition would be doing it.

    You can buy an expired domain and build a site on it. In the example I mentioned I bought an expired domain for $170, spent a couple of hours putting 2 pages on the site and that was it. The value of the domain is in the inbound links it has. You could also buy an established site from...

    Google Sitelinks

    That's interesting. I have a site that gets only 8,000 UV/month yet it has sitelinks. I would have thought the threshold would be higher than that. Do you have any idea where Google might get the data for sites that don't use Google Analytics?

    How to avoid this Image Issue

    You can't avoid it. If you want to mess with them, you can create a new image with something insulting on it, upload it to the existing image URL and put the old image on a new URL for your own site to use. Your site gets to see the image as it always had, but the hotlinker gets to see the...

    Question : Google Adsense Set-Up

    You can set up multiple accounts for business purposes if you have different payees. Most people will create one account to serve multiple websites, though. Create different channels for each site (and also create multiple channels for each site too), so that you know what revenue is...

    Domain aging info.

    However, that's the answer to a different question: "Does how long I register a domain for affect rankings in Google". The video isn't titled correctly.

    Domain aging info.

    I doubt that domain age matters too much in ranking. If age is used as a factor, I would have thought it would be the age of your links. A crap site with no links that's 10 years old is still a crap site with no links.

    This is one way of doing it, and probably the way that most people do. Alternatively, you could buy an existing site that has had all the hard work done to it and use that to push the affiliate products. Your friend works around 10 hours to make £50 so he's making £5/hour (if he has weekends...

    client had their site totally redesigned and now disappeared from the SERPs

    You need to know what's changed before you decide on your course of action. Results is right when he warns about changing URLs. If it isn't possible to change them back to the originals, then at least redirect old to new.

    How best to monetise site?

    I would be happy with that price. Regarding the Adsense and it's effect on your "real" sales, why don't you trial it for a month? As you say, there is a risk of distracting potential customers with ads, but the only way to find out to what extent that matters is by testing it. EDIT: Great user...
