Taboola is great at sending cheap traffic to your site, and then you put their related posts ads on your site to offset a large chunk of the charges. That's why you see sites like Viralnova using them in their articles, but also advertising heavily with them.
Unless you have traffic volume in...
I would be full of shit if I didn't tell you this is still a problem that I deal with. It's very hard not to get excited in an idea, and spread yourself too thin with tons of solid ideas that you'll never possibly be able to finish. I've had to, on numerous occasions, force myself to purge ideas...
Thanks!!
Entrepreneur posted the article on their Facebook page (2 million) a couple hours ago. It's been a crazy couple hours. I think they broke my linkedin. Really cool stuff.
Content is king. You're going to need an excellent content editor/manager that can clean up articles and give them the viral flair (Title + Clicky Featured image). You're also going to need strong content idea creation or curation.
Our site did well socially because it revolved around...
you nailed it. You're better than this, apply it.
I can't dive too far in, because I signed a no compete, but I promise you this isn't the only way to make money with your fitness site. Do some research. I think you'll be shocked that a few minor changes can result in thousands of dollars a...
I did an interview with FEI about the Sale, Dropped a couple nuggets, hopefully it's worth the read

This is correct. The seeder page could be something like "I freaking love dogs" or "Dog owners rock", you could even break it down further into Labs, collies, etc.
These would all be used to seed/gain likes/build brand equity for the brand page for your ecomm pet store or petco affiliate shop...
In regards to the seeder pages, i'm much more liberal with content and the people engaging the content being posted are less critical. These pages are mainly used to get niche focused, relevant eyeballs on the content. It's hard to not succeed when you can direct thousands of niche targeted eyes...
1. People are followers, and it's tough to gain social traction, without others seeing social validation. To get over this startup hurdle, i'll advertise in cheap english speaking countries, to build up 5k+ likes. From there i'll switch over to advertising to high quality english speaking...
1. Majority of the time I offer to pay them a weekly amount to write/manage their content on site through CMS/Wordpress, so everything is hand's off for me. I come in later and will fix anything I see wrong. I offer some people equity, but it's usually when they're contributing in a much heavier...
I like to have about 20 + articles before launching, since you're building your brand socially, the majority of your traffic will visit via inner page/post, so be sure to capture them there with monetization or lowering the bounce rate.
Sorry for the delay, I was busy getting my ass kicked by the Flu
apologies for any typos, didn't proof read (Trying to catch up on lost time)
Binge Drinking in Vegas? Vodka. Celebrating this sale? Scotch.
There were a lot of things that I still wanted to complete, that imo we're unfinished...

Have sold over 40 websites, and generated over 20 million in Sales revenue. Just completed a million dollar website sale. AMA
This blows my mind. To see someone that is profiting so heavily from something I know little about, but for them to yearn to learn something I'm profiting from and know much about.
If you're down for a knowledge trade, i'm all ears.
The rankings persisted after the penguin update, it almost felt like a reward from Google for giving up the disavow data and bad links . It's a smart play from them, because of course in the future I would then feel encouraged to submit more disavow data.
The disavow/manual action removal felt...
