    The Google Fred Update - March 2017

    Let's say you're running AdSense or Amazon Native Ads/CPM on every page, would you still consciously avoid inserting Amazon affiliate links into non-money-makers and 'unoptomized' posts? You've already got paid obl. I understand why there is a need for a 10:1 ratio on "Buyer's Guide" and other...

    Bump... anyone?

    Single Page Template for Content Curation

    I perused through a few stacks... and man, they just seem really busy and a bit confusing/messy. Can you make a custom post type "resource," with fields matching your excel sheet, import your excel data, and then make the category page loop through every resource without pagination?

    Basic Principles of Feature Image Design

    I agree with you... I hate stock... but does that mean you contact people directly and request/pay to use their photo? Do you just cite a source and comply with takedown requests?

    Dwell time/bounce for traffic types & content types

    After messing up the Google tracking code a few times, I've finally got some data on actual page dwelling time (sends incremental signals but only while screen is in view mode in browser). function timer11(){ga('send', 'event', 'TimeOnPage', '1', '11-30 seconds', { 'nonInteraction': 1 });}...

    @Potatoe if you don't mind sharing, where do you get your hands on good photos?

    Just grabbed SERPstat and its awesome

    WOWwwww. That's pretty low. They've been pushing that $1 upgrade non-stop, and there are no easy to see warnings that it invalidates your AppSumo plan. I would have had absolutely no idea if I'd have upgraded. Not to mention the times when the support (chatbox) has suggested I upgrade for just...

    Basic Principles of Feature Image Design

    Pick a font. If small photo, must be Serif. 1) If given a photo Look for large blank/empty/non-essential spaces where text can go. If blank spaces, put the text there. Find the dominant color on the picture or in the area your text will appear. Use a color wheel to get complimentary colors...

    Lazy Amz Affs: Quick masked 301'd product searches

    Just remembered that most people use a 302 redirect for affiliate links. To change it, use header("Location: $final_redirect_to"); Instead of the two lines above. Another thing, (I have a hunch this might be a bad idea with Amazon), is to host this all on a separate domain. So...

    Basic Principles of Feature Image Design

    I have a deep appreciation for art, I even took a few art classes when I was young, but I'm NOT artistic in the design sense. I seriously, seriously struggle in this area. Yeah, I could outsource images, but that's actually super inconvenient for featured images that aren't incredibly complex or...

    Day 17 - Outsourcing & Automation

    It took me a while to get over the fear of paying people, but after overcoming it and spending time outsourcing content and a few tasks for ~2 weeks now, I figured I'd post what I've learned/noticed so far. Always have instructions written out ahead of time on Google Docs/Dropbox Write the...

    Bump As You Leak!

    @Ryuzaki interesting... What are your thoughts about buying 10-50 in order to get over this hump: Very small amounts of manipulation in order to get that initial traction doesn't seem like it could be dangerous. Ordering 2,000 fakes over an hour? I can see how a user/domain would get...

    Hardest Part of Online Marketing

    @Ryuzaki yea, I got my first taste of high traffic + low quality in Novemeber and realized pretty quickly that wasn't the path I wanted to go down... unless I could replicate 50k+ views every single day which is definitely challenging. Tbh, just thought it would be fun to troll Carter's thread...

    Hardest Part of Online Marketing

    Kept avoiding this thread figuring it was troll until I realized it was started by Carter. And then I knew it was. So, I followed your steps! (Starting with a blank, empty, fresh domain.) Targeting Audience - Figuring out who your target audience is. ✔ Brainstorming Content - coming up...

    I'm making a viral Trump site, couple of questions

    Good. Then, there's probably no reason why running the site anonymously would be any more difficult than running any other "normal" website anonymously. The nature of news is that some people may get pissed and look "more into it," but just get whois protection. I imagine CPM will ultimately...

    Linkbait idea generation

    Um, what Ryu said. Tbh, I don't know how people with 10TopBestSpatulaReviews.com get any backlinks at all. Assuming your domain doesn't immediately send up red flags of "this site only exists to siphon search traffic to amz" there are so, so,, so many opportunities. Do what Ryu said and don't...

    New Amazon iFrame

    Haven'y seen anyone post this yet, but... either my account got upgraded or there is new code for "Text+Image Link to this Page" <iframe style="width:120px;height:240px;" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" scrolling="no" frameborder="0"...
