    What hat would win in a fight?

    What hat would win in a fight? What are the "win conditions" of the fight? If they weren't allowed to interfere with each other, white hat would win because black hat would get deindexed or penalized eventually. black hat always loses by attrition. If they were allowed to interfere, white...

    Lead, please help

    Being drunk is no reason to blame a forum for the bold button being too blurry to press. I managed to find the button, take a screen shot, mark it up with a red pen, upload it to Imgur, and post it in this thread, all on mobile, with no typos to boot. I hope you can boost his rankings and...

    Node Developers can harvest your passwords and credit card numbers

    You guys have to start telling us what's behind these mystery links. It needs to be a new forum rule. If the OP doesn't explain what it is they're sharing, it should be deleted IMO. For everyone else, it's this: "I’m harvesting credit card numbers and passwords from your site. Here’s how."...

    Crawl Depth, Crawl Budget, Sitemaps, & Interlinking

    I've built sites that maxed out around 100 pages and had this same concern, because I didn't have that many categories so posts were getting tucked back in the 4th and 5th level of pagination. I had done decent interlinking, but I still wanted to make sure the click depth wasn't too crazy...

    When to use NoFollow

    I agree with this entirely. Even a site like Wikipedia is heavily moderated and could/should be dofollow after a link has been live for X months. In their case I'd guess Google has made some exceptions and gives them a little weight. But big sites, like the ones where all of the editorials...

    Indexing multiple sites at once

    If you have a Google account, you can submit the URLs for indexing right in the SERPs by searching anything like "submit url to google." A box will appear you can use. But then again, if it's spammy stuff I wouldn't recommend doing it. But I've been using it for places when Ahrefs finds a...

    Review Sites & Google's Maccabee/Fred 2.0 Update

    @shaunm, What are the backlink profiles like for these sites? You may be onto something but halving and then re-doubling traffic doesn't mean much when we're talking about 100-200 sessions per day. The reason I ask about the backlinks is because a lack of them would lend itself to volatility...

    Cryptocurrency

    So who's having fun with the Great Crypto Crash of 2018? Even though it's only returned to the levels it was at in December, people are still acting like it's the end of the world. I saw one sub-reddit even pinned a suicide hotline number at the top. So Bitcoin peaked above $19k and dropped...

    Do You Count Time Spent as an Expense BEFORE You Sell a Website?

    @ragnar, It's an unrealized return. So "realistically" I wouldn't account for it until it lands in your bank account. But to get a "reasonable" idea of what you're really earning with your time, I think it makes sense to use it in a calculation. I'd calculate with and without the flip price...

    What is the best "build your own infographic" site?

    Someone recently mentioned using Powerpoint for their featured images. It blew my mind because I never thought about it, but there's so many templates out there all set up for us. The title slides are perfect for such a thing.

    19 Insane Tidbits From James Damore’s Lawsuit Against Google

    I wish you wouldn't type such explicitly sexual language. As an ornate building-kin, it makes it pretty hard to focus.

    Is There Any Organic Traffic Left in Google With the Knowledge Graph & Info Cards?

    That's supposed to be the idea but I've yet to see one that answers my question. Google is just scraping lists or scraping headers to form a list. But they never fully answer the question or are off because they're trusting some SEO's website to have accurate info. Most of the time they don't...

    What was the last movie you watched? How was it?

    I just watched the newest Darren Aronofsky movie, Mother! I really liked The Fountain, Pi, Black Swan, and Noah. The weird gnostic ones are the best, but The Wrestler and Requiem for a Dream were good too. I really enjoyed it. The entire time I was thinking "I have no clue what this movie...

    Secondary Benefits to PPC Advertising Like Linkbuilding & Social Shares?

    I've read a couple bloggers and just saw someone on Reddit recommend it to another person. Have any of you used PPC for every post to seed it out there and try to help it rank? I'm trying to think of how this could help. The exposure could get you: Links Social Shares On-Page Metrics Links...
