Felix asks:

Is it possible to find out the owner of a domain if they're using private domain registration? Someone is stealing my content and I want to know who they are

SPI: There are a few tricks you can use to attempt finding out the owner of a domain when they use private domain name registration. You can use our IP hostname lookup tool to find other servers on the same host, you can Google the server IP address and you can research older versions of the page on archive.org, where the owners may have included their contact information. Once you've exhausted all options, you can file a complaint with the domain registrar claiming copyright infringement. Under law, they are required to release the domain owner contact information to you when you file a formal complaint.

Mr. Adler asks:

When trying to rank for a competitive term how many links can you obtain per DAY, without being penalized?

SPI: In the "white hat" world, Much like email-spam-detection tools, the key here is the daily percentage change, rather than a specific number. To be safe, stay under 2% increase in total links per day and always think long-term. For example, if your website has zero incoming links right now, get 100 links on month 1, another 150 on month 2 etc. Consistency is key. The compounding factor will let you scale this out big and you should be fine as long as you avoid bad neighbourhoods and resist the urge to do spikes.

I am using IMAP with Outlook to access my email. All of a sudden Outlook can no longer connect to the server but I can still read the email with my iPhone. I tried deleting the mailbox and adding a new one but it didn't help, what gives?

Michael asks:

What's a fair rate when it comes to selling space on the site ? Obviously it depends on the number of visitors, visibility in search-engines and a lot of other factors (I guess)......but is there some kind of general path to follow, checklists to follow and - of course - things to avoid ?

SPI: When you're just starting out, take anyone! Use Google Ad Manager to manage your ad inventory. Set Google Ad Manager default AdSense settings to images only, so that you can fill existing advertising spots with banners from Google's AdSense network. Contact companies in your niche and offer direct ad deals for $50/month. A month later once you have some advertisers, take that price up to $100 and so on. Let the market price itself. Keep increasing your fees based on demand.

Work at home mom asks:

I have an affiliate site I am trying to promote. Should I bother with facebook, twitter, myspace, stumbleupon, craigslist? How can I make money with these sites?

SPI: Think long-term. Create a blog on your website and then setup new Facebook, MySpace, StumbleUpon and MySpace pages, automatically syndicating content from your blog. Commit to posting fresh high quality content, related to your niche, to your blog at least once a day, seven days a week. Everytime you post, your content will be automatically syndicated across all sites. Craigslist is a great way to get instant traffic for cheap. You can use Craigslist as needed to build capital gains, but always think long term. Focus on generating high quality content and building a community around that.

Another great tip is - find forums where your customers hang out, join those forums and interact. Learn how your customers think, what pisses them off and what they crave for.

Joe asks:

White hat or Black hat?

SPI: With Google's recent announcement that buying links is not allowed, any company engaged in buying reviews, sponsorships or any form of media buys on a third party site, is supposedly involved in black hat.
