Since there’s an upcoming session at SMX advanced titled “Buying Sites for SEO“, I figured the timing is finally right to hit the publish button on a post I wrote long ago about finding quality sites to purchase for SEO benefits.

The first time that I published this was about 2 1/2 years ago, and I was quickly asked by a well known SEO expert and friend (I won’t name any names, but he’s on the panel at the “buying sites” SMX session) to remove the post and wait until buying old virgin sites was common knowledge.

You can select from either a wizard style interface for upgrading or click one button and watch the automatic upgrade happen via a progress meter. Very useful for a lazy busy person like myself.

I know, not another boring post about 301 redirects, but I came across a pretty specific issue recently with one of my sites so I thought I’d post the solution that I finally worked out here. I almost named this post “Why It’s Important To Fail”, but I think most webmasters/SEOs understand that without failure, there can be no success. So I digress…
