Message from the BlackHatters:

Hi everyone, firstly thanks for reading this message. We’ve been amazed at the number of you who keep checking back to Black Hat PPC despite us having gone quiet for the past couple of weeks (we honestly thought no one would notice!)

We’ve been testing a theory of ours (or settling an internal argument – depending on how you look at it) around Google Caffeine. Black Hat PPC had achieved number 1 position in the natural rankings for the term ‘black hat ppc’ in all territories globally. We wanted to see how quickly Caffeine would take to reindex blackhatppc.co.uk and for the site to get it’s rankings back.

The answer: On day one we went back to the first page of the SERP’s for the term ‘black hat ppc’ and by day two the site was back in position 1 for all territories for the keyword we were targeting. May not be too interesting to you, but did settle an internal argument we were having :-)

We’ve been busy changing our hosting providers as well and we want to quash any rumours that we had been taken down by a Google virus for some of the content that we write about on Black Hat PPC.

But we are back now and we’ve got lots and lots and lots to tell you about, so keep checking back to find out all the latest on the art of Black Hat PPC.

    Thanks, we’ll try to keep the chumbawamba references down to a minimum. One of the Blackhatters gets really annoyed by chumbawamba…hence why we put the comment in there to wind him up :-)
