Because We’ll Start Doing it For You.

Frequently Asked Pre-Order Questions

How many HOTHs will it take me to get to Page 1?

SEO is like an election.
We can tell you that you have to shake a lot of hands to win.
But we can never tell you exactly how many.
You just have to keep shaking until you do.

If you are asking this question, you are asking to be lied to.

Why?

Because nobody can tell you with any accuracy how many links its going to take to rank your site.
The HOTH is no different in that regard, except that we're honest about it.

SEO is like an election. We can tell you that you have to be out there shaking hands. But we can't tell you how many hands you'll need to shake to win. You just keep shaking until you do.

More so, The HOTH is only a link building service, not a keyword research, competitive research, on-site optimization or SEO consulting service. If any of these factors are not done well, any link building you do is going to be at a handicap. If you are are in need full service SEO consulting, please contact info[at]hothtactical[dot]com for information about our agency services, offered by our HOTH Tactical division.

5 Reasons Why We Don't Guarantee Your Rank:

We Don't Know How Competitive your Keyword Is.
We're just a link building service, not a market research service.
Unique Treatment of Phrases by Google.
Google does not treat each search phrase the same way. For instance, if your search phrase is phrased as a question, Google will treat your results one way. If Google thinks that users for your phrase are looking for a definition or quote, it'll treat the results another way. If Google thinks that displaying local results is more effective for your term than national or global ones, it will do so. Etc.
Inability to Predict Competition.
We have no clue what your competitors are doing for their SEO. Maybe they have a 5-figure/month budget? Maybe they don't know what a <title> tag is?
The HOTH Doesn't Affect your On-site Optimization.
In 2011, Google released its now infamous Panda Update. The Panda Update is a usability filter that penalizes sites that would otherwise rank well based traditional on-site factors (e.g. title tags, headings, bolded terms, images, etc.) and off-site factors (e.g. links) for poor on-site user experience. This means that not only do you have to have your semantically relevant tags optimized, but now your site actually has to be good to consistently rank. The Panda update is ever evolving and its every site owners responsibility to keep their site fresh, relevant and optimized for bounce rates and conversions. If you do need help with on-site work, email info[at]hothtactical[dot]com about our agency services and we'll do our best to HOTH you.
We Don't Control the Google SERPs.
There is a name for people who claim to "control" Google SERPs- scammers. Even Google search engineers don't "control" the SERPs. They don't choose the placement of each URL individually. The Google algorithm is constantly changing, evolving, being tested, etc. The results aren't even the same from person to person. We believe that making promises or even a claims to "control" the SERPs in perfectly predictable ways is extremely unprofessional, so we just don't do it.

Will The HOTH get me sandboxed/penalized?

With over 3000 campaigns completed, we have absolutely no reason to believe it will.

In the 1 instance where a client claimed to get sandboxed by The HOTH, the client was simultanaeously blasting his site with 1000s of spam links every day (e.g. x-rumer, scrapebox, etc.)

The moral of the story is, if you're not doing anything really shady with your link building, you have nothing to fear with The HOTH. The HOTH is a long-term link building service, so we have no interest in a quick jump in rankings, just to see you fall soon after. We put meticulous care into continually improving our content, diluting any possible footprints, and further randomizing our method of viral link building to ensure that each iteration of The HOTH is safer than the last.

How is HOTH 3 different from HOTH 2.0?

Is The HOTH a monthly service?

No. The HOTH has no monthly commitment.

Here's how it works

How do I know The HOTH works?

The HOTH has been endorsed by several respected SEOs and countless other publishers and marketers. To read a sampling of these success stories, click here.

We are constantly running tests, experiments, and improving the product behind the scenes to make sure we are 100% on top of any search algorithm changes. You can check out our blog where we post our thoughts, news, webinar replays and more at http://truth.thehoth.com.

P.S. We also have client references from all over the word. Feel free to request those as well.

How many URLs can I use per package?

All HOTH packages accept the exact same inputs -
Up to 3 URLs with up to 5 Keywords/Keyphrases per URL.

You are not required to use all of them. As a rule of thumb, we encourage you to use all 3 URLs and not waste Keyword slots that you don't need to. Don't have 3 URLs? No worries. Many SEOs only submit 1 URL at a time with great success.

All URLs and Keywords for any order must be in the same niche!

Otherwise, your content would end up looking like, "I enjoy driving my Lexus RX330 while studying Forex Trading and enjoying the best weight loss program." No bueno.

What's the difference between a HOTH Results Package and a HOTH Mini Package??

The Results Package is our default recommendation for clients in the 4 most competitive SEO markets - USA, UK, Canada & Australia. We named it the Results Package, because it's the one we use to consistently see results in those countries. It has over 5 times the links of the HOTH Mini package and even has a second viral link structure, for even greater link diversity and link juice back to your site. Click here to see an info-graphic illustrating the Results Package.

The Results Package is intended to do what it says on the box, achieve results. This doesn't mean 1 Results Package will rank you #1 for the term "insurance," but it is a solid backbone for any link building campaign. It is the go-to option for our most serious SEO clients.

The Results Package gives you over 50% more links for each dollar you spend.

The HOTH Mini is our introductory package intended for less competitive markets and new clients who want to become acquainted with The HOTH. It's not intended to cause any dramatic shifts in the SERPs, except for very low competition keywords and markets. A few clients have developed specialized uses for it.

To compare the contents of all packages side by side, check out our Packages & Pricing Page.

I'm in XYZ market/niche, will The HOTH work for me?

Yes, most likely.

The HOTH works for

Local businesses
National industries
Specific products
Industry directories
Affiliate sites
E-commerce Sites
Non-english keywords (tested with French, Dutch, German, Hungarian, etc.)
And pretty much anything you can think of.

The HOTH does not accept explicitly pornographic or hate terms.

Some highly exploited or "spammy" niches may have lower success rates for the individual properties we create.

Don't worry though, we'll make sure you get the amount of links promised (See FAQ: What if Some HOTH Properties Get Taken Down?).

What if some HOTH properties get taken down?

Filters on the various websites that we create links on are inevitable.

If one of your top-level properties (i.e. Blogspot, Wordpress, Squidoo) is taken down within 30 days of receiving your report, just email us (support[at]thehoth[dot]com) and we'll get the property rebuilt ASAP, along with its supporting links. If a top-level property remains problematic, we'll replace it with a LiveJournal or Tumblr blog, which tend to be more lenient.

As for the supporting Web 2.0 properties, Social Bookmarks, and Profile Links, we will never have a 100% success rate. This is why we always over deliver. This way, the amount of active properties is always within the promised range.

For a Results Package the promised range is

35-75 Web 2.0s
100-200 Social Bookmarks
500-800 Profile Links (some profiles may contain more than 1 link)

For a Mini Package the promised range is

7-15 Web 2.0s
20-40 Social Bookmarks
100-160 Profile Links (some profiles may contain more than 1 link)

If, somehow, against all odds, we don't deliver the promised quantity of any of the types of properties (this really doesn't happen, but for your piece of mind), let us know and we'll give you another whole set, no questions asked.

Should I get the Results Package or the HOTH Mini?

Actually, the answer is already in the name!

We tell all new clients the same thing-
If you want to see results, order the Results Package.

Reasons You May Want to Choose the HOTH Mini Package:

If you just want to get a taste of how The HOTH works, the kind of reports you'll be getting and our level of service.
If you're in an extremely low competition niche or country.
Some resellers also choose to purchase HOTH Mini packages for clients to avoid "over-delivering" too quickly and to maximize monthly retainers (not recommended).
