    Niche specific directories

    Hi, I've been out of the directory building game for about 8/9 years, but I'm starting to get an itch again! My background is mainly SEM but I've worked on SEO on some very large classifieds and jobs board sites over recent years, as of today I work on a consultancy basis and I'm sort of keen...

    How Do You Handle Deleted Content?

    You can also look into doing a 410 status on the content pages you want Google to de-index. It works quite well on the sites I've used it on where we have a lot of dynamic content, think jobs board sites and large marketplace type sites.

    Do Trust Links (Aka Know'em Links) Move the Needle?

    From past experiences Vin, I've found very marginal uplifts from Knowem mainly due to the profiles created don't tend to pass any authority as most, if not all are No-follow theses days. There is the old debate which I sit on the fence about, which is having a mix of do/no follow links looks...

    Necessary Mac Software

    I've been very happy with Better Snap Tool https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/bettersnaptool/id417375580?mt=12 And Screenbrush is useful during client calls on Skype when I'm tearing their websites down https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/screenbrush/id1233965871?mt=12

    Brain fog and concentration

    Thanks all. My wife and I are both working and she works crazy hours also, so there is not more domestic adjustments we can make at the moment the Jnr is teething which makes matters worse! My diet is ok, I think there is probably a little nutritional shortage in a few areas but not bad on...

    Brain fog and concentration

    Hi All, I'm looking for a little advice... Since becoming a father my sleep has been destroyed fairly regularly by our daughter who is coming up to 1 year old. I'm not complaining and fully expect this as a new father. However, as I'm sure some of you will recognise, trying to do technical work...

    BuSo Lightning - Official Support Thread

    Hi All. I've used this theme in the past without many modifications. I'm thinking (please correct me) that if this is a truely minimal Wordpress theme and I am happy with it at this stage, I could ask my dev to use this as a Child Theme to make the customisations I want. Is that possible?

    GDPR

    The EU and member states can sue you, also an individual can sue you and not just from within the EU, if an EU law has been broken it is perfectly possible to bring someone outside to justice, but deep pockets are required!

    GDPR

    It's still an issue outside of the EU potentially if you come into "contact" with European users.

    Amazon coming to Nordics - FBA opportunity?

    Will be interesting to see how Brexit messes around with stuff in this area. The Swedish customs / Postnord are already behaving like total bellends, I got whacked $10 tax and admin fee for receiving a newsletter from the states this week.

    What other forums do you find valuable?

    There is a pretty awesome slack group run by @NickEubanks called traffic think tank. I've been a member in there for some time and it's at a good price point to stop the spammers trying to sell their services and has regular good content being shared.

    New Standing Desk Homie, Checking In!

    They are supposed to be used in rotation. Here is how I use mine... When I'm on a call, I do several a day and spend several hours doing calls I'm standing at my desk, when I'm doing boring stuff I sit and then for everything else I rotate it as often as I can, but at least by building in...

    Funnily enough, I have already fitted lighting system similar to the one you mention and it works very nicely. Still thinking about wall motifs etc. Thanks, it's mainly SEO and Adwords so the lighting aspect is for my benefit only really.

    I have decided upon a dark laminate wooden floor to help make the room feel a bit cozy, made a start on laying this tonight and I should have it finished by the weekend.

    There is not much to see still, I'm hoping to get the wooden flooring down tomorrow so once that is done I will do an update with some photos. I've also been looking to get a nice wall sign made up which will show in the background when I'm on Skype to my customers.

    Give me wonderful ideas for my new home office....

    Little project update. After a few days away last week, I have now bought some 5mm thermal insulating underlay and some wooden flooring. I'm planning to put the final coat of white paint on this evening and then lay the floor tomorrow night! I should be moving in by the weekend all being well :-)
