In regards...
besides benefiting from increased sales and traffic, we will as well be building a strong network as a group for future projects. Nothing illegal or blackhat will be tolerated as this is a long-term project and we will nuke those who cannot or do not play ball as a team.
Google webmaster central is and will be a main resource for guidance and compliance, but we will be three steps ahead of the game in regards to untapped resources in the "big picture" so to say...
Our advantage as a team/group will give us all a solid competitive advantage per niche or product that we attack.
Increased sales, targeted traffic, and positive conversion rates will be our main interest without sidetracking. Some niches can be conquered within a few months and some might take us a half year to a year to attain goals we would find acceptable as a group in whole.
I am looking forward to this and am open to all suggestions and offers of help and support.
